What’s the Missus Craving? Santouka

Enjoying the wet and cold weather? I'm not minding it too much….though give me a couple more days of it and I might change that opinion. The colder weather had the Missus wanting ramen. Her choice? Well, if you've been reading this blog for a while that's an easy one, we even made to the tiny flagship shop in Japan. So nope; it ain't Menya Ultra….it's Santouka of course.

Whats our Santouka 01 Whats our Santouka 02It's the shio toroniku all the way here. The drill is ordering a large bowl and natto-gohan and the Missus and I share. The pork cheek was especially flavorful this time around; the tongue-coating broth scalding….the thick sided bowl makes sure it stays that way for a while. The noodles were good, with a decent chew and stayed that way for the entire meal. Even more consistent….that egg….well, it's always over-cooked, but at least it's free.

Here's to consistency!
