Price: 45AUD
I am a regular in mensho Tokyo, it's my favorite
restaurant and ramen shop. So I may be biased
TLDR: the price makes sense because it uses very
expensive ingredients, but I feel it's the worst
ramen of their dinner menu. which is still
amazing, don't get me wrong. But I think their other ramen are just much better
I will start with the toppings:
-A5 wagyu chashu:
(they generally use Australian Wagyu, but this
time was A5). It was amazing, it was cooked sous
vide and marinated in soy sauce, mirin,
sake (I guess). It tastes sooo good and it's sooooo tender(however I think their pork chashu is so good, so good, that is better than the Wagyu lol)
Ikura and Sea Urchin:
Ikura gave some nice texture, and the uni gave
one sip a super nice buttery umami feel (but only
one bite because it's just a little haha)
-yuzu zest, Nori, fried enoki, oyster mushroom
bom choi gave so many layers of texture and
flavor, it is delicious
Soup:
it is basically the same soup as their tori paitan,
but it has less chiyu(chicken oil), which made it
lighter, since Wagyu and uni are very fatty. It made
sense, but I still think with the normal amount of
oil is better.
-Broth: chicken bones tori paitan
Tare: I have absolute no idea. I've been trying to
figure out how they make this soup for sooooo
long,and I can't
-aroma oil: onion aroma oil
Noodles: same noodle as all their dinner ramen:
low hydration thick, wavy rye and wheat flour
noodle. It is the most amazing noodle l've ever
had. However, my bowl today was overcooked,
which never happened before 🙁
This ramen was seriously delicious, but I just feel
that their other ramen are just better (and
cheaper), that I don't think I would recommend
anyone getting this one. The only reason to get
this one is for the Wagyu, but sincerely, if you
want to experience Wagyu, I would recommend
trying it in a more pure form. For example
yakiniku you could feel it much better.
Even so, for me it's a solid 9/10
