I decided to eat some black ramen while traveling to Toyama, and on that occasion I stopped by Darumaya Ramen.
I went on a weekday around 3pm when it was probably the busiest.
There were two types of ramen listed on the menu, but I didn’t want something salty, so I chose the original.
Add flavored eggs. I originally planned to order oolong tea, but since I was given a pitcher of water, I replaced it with green onion.
There were only a few people in the store, but it took about 6 to 8 minutes for the food to be served. I feel like I was kept waiting for a while.
Only the flavored eggs came out first, so I tried them.
The coldness of the white meat, the slightly thick and rich flavor, and the soy sauce flavor and saltiness that permeate the tip of your tongue are just right.
Personally, I would have been happy if it was served warm to the core…
Now comes the main body.
Considering its powerful name, “Black Ramen,” the soup is surprisingly light and has a gentle soy sauce base.
When you put it in your mouth, it has a traditional aroma of pepper.
Even for someone like me who doesn’t like salty foods and don’t add much seasoning, I found it a bit bland.
It doesn’t have as much power as the word “black ramen.”
The noodles are chewy in your mouth, but when you bite into them they are chewy and chewy.
The char siu was thick and seemed to be soaked in soy sauce. The more you chew, the more flavor oozes out to the tip of your tongue. The size is large and the volume is outstanding. The fat melts just by stroking it with your tongue.
Somewhere in the back of my mind I thought, “It’s called black ramen, but it’s probably a menu for tourists that emphasizes the impact of appearance and contents,” but it tasted like it could be eaten on a daily basis.
I’m also happy that they accept credit cards and various cashless payments.
Next time I come, I’ll order something with a darker soup.
