Slow-cooked chicken broth ramen｜Tori soba Zagin

“Tori soba Zagin” is probably the first place that comes to mind when one thinks of Toripaitan ramen（Slow-cooked chicken broth ramen）in the Kansai region.
The restaurant has the appearance of a Japanese-style restaurant, with a relaxed atmosphere, and ramen is served as if it were a Japanese-style restaurant. And what can be said about the ramen is that it tastes great.

Let us introduce the “Tori Soba”（Chicken Ramen） which is the signature dish of this restaurant and always attracts attention. The distinctive feature of this ramen is its Slow-cooked chicken broth soup. The first thing you notice when you take a sip is the deep flavor and richness of the soup. However, the soup is also exquisitely balanced, with a soft and mild taste that will make you fall in love with its deliciousness.

The base of the Slow-cooked chicken broth soup is soup stock extracted slowly and carefully from carefully selected Sakurajima chicken. At first glance, this broth may seem thick, but it is skillfully adjusted with dried soup stock to give it a truly refined flavor. The unique flavor created by this broth will make you feel as if you are enjoying a potage soup. The fine bubbles add to the deliciousness of the wine.

The compatibility between the noodles and the soup is also not to be overlooked. The flavor of the noodle is not overly assertive, and as a result of prioritizing harmony with the broth, it gives a somewhat subdued impression. However, this inversely enhances the flavor of the soup, making the meal as a whole more satisfying. Of special note is the presence of the fried burdock root. Its crispy texture is a perfect match for the soup and provides an unusual taste.

One can also enjoy two kinds of char siu pork, one from chicken and the other from pork shoulder. Each has a very different taste and texture due to the different cooking methods, but both are essential to this ramen.

Although the soup is the star of this “Tori Soba” dish, a beautiful balance has been created in which each ingredient is used to its own advantage, while at the same time working in harmony with the whole. As a result, you will feel a great sense of satisfaction when you finish a bowl of ramen. Once you have experienced this ramen, you will be completely fascinated by its complex flavor and exquisite balance.

This ramen is a dish that is the result of a culinary technique that pays close attention to every detail.

I enjoyed it very much. Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
