Kasaoka Ramen TAKETONBO
This is a specialty restaurant in Tokyo offering “Kasaoka Ramen,” a local ramen from Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture.
The soup is a rich double soup characterized by the deep flavor of mature chicken (Oyadori) and the fragrant aroma extracted from seafood.
Instead of the usual pork, the chashu is “Nidori,” mature chicken simmered in soy sauce, which has a unique chewy texture and a flavor that deepens with every bite.
The noodles are custom-made medium-thick straight noodles that have been perfected through trial and error to achieve the best match with the soup.
