[Men Ginza Onodera (麺 銀座おのでら)](https://youtu.be/4xdAUivRIHs) in Harajuku is going to be the next ramen hot spot in Tokyo with super long lines and YouTubers rushing to hold their cameras into this bowl of ramen. Ginza Onodera is a French cuisine inspired ramen shop which takes cooking techniques and aromas of the French cuisine and transfers it into exquisite ramen.
The bowl itself is beautifully presented with many highlights, visible and invisible. Starting with the soup, which is a combination of a complex broth and a shoyu tare seasoning that is a blend of various soy sauces and tamari. The broth consists of a mix of chicken, duck, Dounan kombu, shiitake, magurobushi (dried tuna) and various aromatic vegetables. The toppings consist of beautifully cooked duck breast, smoky pork chashu and a very well executed ajitama ramen egg, cut in half to show the bright orange egg yolk. In the middle of the bowl you will find a ball of herb butter which has herbs like dill and parsley in it, as well as garlic and salt. It slowly melts into your bowl over time and infuses it with more complex flavors as you dig deeper into your ramen. Last but not least, if you go for the “Supreme” option, you will also get very plump truffle wantan. They remind me of large plump ravioli, which are filled to the brim with a mix of meat and fresh truffle. I personally liked them quite a lot, since the truffle was not overpowering, but still very noticeable. In my personal opinion, it’s one of the better truffle toppings for ramen out there.
