Shrimp miso soup ramen|Ebi soba Ichigen Shinjuku-ten

I visited “Ebi soba Ichigen Shinjuku-ten” in Tokyo’s Shinjuku Ward to enjoy their signature dish, “Ebi miso” (Shrimp miso soup ramen). This ramen is packed with shrimp flavor, and the restaurant is renowned as a talented ramen restaurant that attracts many people.

First, take a sip of the soup. The richness of the miso and the mildness of the pork bones intertwine perfectly to create a soup that is truly a supreme dish. It is rich, yet not too heavy, making you want to drink it again and again. The saltiness and richness of the miso broth in particular enhances the flavor of the shrimp.

For the “Ebi miso” (Shrimp miso soup ramen), I chose thick, translucent noodles. They have a plump texture that goes well with the soup. The thick noodles thoroughly entangle the soup, allowing you to enjoy the flavor of shrimp with every bite. Toppings include tender, juicy char siu pork, seasoned egg, crunchy green onions, and savory shrimp-flavored tenkasu (Deep fried dough). The tenkasu, in particular, has an aromatic flavor similar to that of kakiage (mixed vegetable and seafood tempura), and enhances the flavor of the broth.

The characteristic of “Ebi miso” is that the flavor of shrimp can be felt even stronger as you eat more and more. The noodles, soup, and toppings become one, and you will never get tired of it until the last bite. In addition, by adding a little shrimp oil placed on the tabletop, the flavor of the shrimp becomes even more pronounced, allowing you to enjoy a deeper taste.

“Ebi miso” (Shrimp miso soup ramen) at “Ebi soba Ichigen Shinjuku-ten” is a dish in which you can enjoy the exquisite harmony of shrimp flavor and miso. The rich soup, thick noodles, and a variety of toppings combine to create a supreme taste that you will never forget once you try it.
