Setagaya Ramen
Setagaya is like Daniel, to Ramen lovers in japan. They have the ultimate Ramen; I compare the food here to a refined French. The broth is made like a Jus, or a Cosomme'; Organic Chicken, Dried Anchovies, Dried Scallops, Pork, Fresh Seaweed, and Mongolian Sea Salt.... Grated Bonito, but No MSG. The result is a deep, complex, golden broth that gets better and better as you slurp more and more and more! The noodles are cooked rather under to anticipate for the carry over cooking( So that it doesn't get soggy half way), and it's a blend of 5 types of noodles, some thick as Linguini, some curly ones, Angel hair looking one , and Lomein lookin' one too.. The Char shu Pork is like Foie Gras, and to dare I say it,... Kick it up a notch, they grill the sliced Pork belly! Ahhhhh!!!!! Other garnishes include a soft poached egg, Braised Bamboo shoots, Scallion Julienne, Scallion Powder, and Scallop Oil. Now if you think this is the same as eating a Cup-o-noodle, then, you should shoot yourself in the head with a nail gun. This IS the BEST RAMEN in the US right now. Period..
