Special ramen｜Ramen Yama-to-ki

We have tasted the “Tokusei ramen”（Special ramen） at the Ramen restaurant “Ramen Yama-to-ki” in Suginami Ward, Tokyo. This restaurant is a must-visit for ramen lovers.

Exquisite harmony of clear ramen soup and hand-rubbed noodles

The most distinctive feature of “Ramen Yama-to-ki”‘s “Tokusei ramen” (Special ramen) is the clear-colored soup. Although the soup looks dark in color, the first sip reveals a gentle flavor with a low salt content. The perfect balance of niboshi (dried sardines) and soy sauce gives the soup a deep flavor. Gentle oil floats on the surface of the soup, which adds a mellowness to the entire soup.

Tender char siu pork and a wide variety of ingredients

“Tokusei ramen” (Special ramen) is topped with two kinds of char siu pork. Both are so tender that you can easily cut them with chopsticks. In addition to the char siu, the ramen is topped with green onions, bamboo shoots, dried laver, and semi-cooked ajitama (seasoned egg), all of which are high quality ingredients. The ajitama (seasoned egg), in particular, is half-boiled with the yolk melting, a perfect match for the soup.

Firm hand-rubbed noodles

The noodles are thick, hand-rubbed noodles with a pulled texture. These hand-rubbed noodles are a perfect match for the soup, and you can feel their deliciousness in every bite. The powerful firmness of the noodles brings the flavor of wheat to the forefront, providing a unique texture that cannot be experienced anywhere else. The quantity of noodles is also satisfying and outstandingly satisfying.
