Yes, the local breed chicken 'Nagoya-Kochin' is the key ingredient that makes a lot of yakitori famous at Nagoya City. However, most people forget or are not aware of another thing which is 'miso' from Nagoya ... the local flavour of Traditional Japanese Dishes that came from this place especially the dark miso 'hatcho miso' or red-brown type 'aka miso'.
Now, see what are the unique famous about this place - besides the environment covering with red flag & a so 'macho' ... it could be because this Nagoya city is a home to automotive giants from Honda, Toyota, and Mitzubishi Motors ?!?!
Of course, the first ramen that we should not miss ... Miso Ramen (180Bht) plus we ordered the additional butter (20Bht) and corn (20 Bht) in ... look at the colour of the stock for the good quality of miso yourself ... ummmm so tasty but not too salty ... as it has a sweetness of natural miso in. Especially when adding more of butter, the taste is more intense from full butter.
Another one was for me to taste the real taste of ramen stock ... Shio Ramen of course but I ordered Ajitama Shio Ramen (210Bht) as it's the Duluxe as it's the salt taste plus the sesame oil and eggs. See the white broth which was full of real taste of stock (light but full with flavour) not too salty as it was made from Mihama natural salt plus the sweetness of corn on top. But what I impressed on this bowl was the soft and tender of Chashu (pork slices) as it's so tender that even chopsticks alone could tear it apart easily ... it was passed 8 hours of boiling then soaked with special sauce then keep in fridge !!!
Another dish that could not miss Tamari Ramen (180Bht) it's the soy sauce taste ramen ... this tamari soy sauce is the bi-product from aka-miso ... this sauce was squeezed out during the fermentation of aka-miso soy bean paste. So this is a kind of unique Nagoya u taste that you have to try !!!
There are a lot of a la carte dish to order ... from Karaage (Fried Chicken) 120Btht as I'm the Chicken Eater I must order this ... the crispy fried chicken covered with light flour created the a so crispy texture especially on the skin part while inside was passed the full marinated ... The words I would say - full taste full crispy.
Gyoza or Fried Dumpling (100Bht) which in fact you have choice either to boil or to fry ... this was served in gyoza plate which has a little socket for dipping sauce ... Huuuh inside was packed with pork !!!
Another dish that I can't resist to order as we sat at the counter and see the flame on the wok ... yes this kitchen was ran by 3 women !!! Every time the flame came out, I was able to smell and imagine the good aroma of what I call 'flamable aroma'.
Therefore, I ordered Negi Cha-Han or Green Onion Fried Rice (120Bht) ... nothing much on this fried rice as there're only rice, egg, green onion, and seasoning with salt only. But the aroma was thing that I could not explain as it's full of flamable wok indeed !!! The taste could not be judged from the pale colour of it.
Get it a try this ramen from Chiba, Nagoya Japan as each ramen bowl was made delicated from the sauce and the ingredients especially the noodle itself. The noodle was medium-thick which will absorb the soup well and match the soup perfectly.
