Master Chef Recommended Ramen!!

February 28, 2015

Some of you have asked which ramen Master Chef, Adam Liaw had and instagrammed at the BrisAsia – Taste of Asia Food Festival on Feb 27th.

It was the Red Tonkotsu Extra Thin Noodle with Extra Smoke Ajitama.

To be honest, as much as Adam loved our ramen, we prepped a tad too much for the event so we are currently putting the same menu on special at the City Shop to commemorate the honor!

Deluxe Tonkotsu Ramen Super deal for 13.90 or 14.90 for Red/Fire.  Comes with unlimited extra noodles, extra soup, extra charsiu, extra Smoke Ajitama.  Come in before it runs out.

Thanks once again Adam for the kind recommendation!

TENGUMAI SPECIAL

TENGUMAI SPECIAL

 

This masterpiece from Ishikawa tastes so different. The acidity and complex flavours intrigues me. The difference is borne during it’s characteristic “Yamahai Jikomi” process in which natural lactic bacteria in the atmosphere of the brewery is cultured to ferment the rice. The northern cool location and slow fermentation process creates this beautifully refreshing sake. It changed my perception of sake. Definitely recommended. Promoted with confidence. Please try while it’s at this special price.

 

150ml $7.20

300ml $13.80

 

天狗舞といえば山廃純米酒。

 

天狗舞は“米の旨味を飲んでいただきたい”との

信条にのっとり純米酒にこだわっています。

 

このお試し価格期間にぜひ味わってください。

 

山廃とは酒母の製造方法のひとつで、古来の酒母造りの流れをくむ方法です。仕込みのときに、雑菌による汚染を防ぐための既製の乳酸を添加せず、自然界の乳酸菌を巧みに取り込み、低温でじっくりと乳酸発酵させます。こうして自然の姿で育てた酒母には、頑強で活き活きした酵母だけが生き残ります。

昨今はほとんどの蔵が速醸酒母(乳酸を添加し、短期間で酒母を育成する製造法)を採用するため、山廃を知る職人がめっきり少なくなりました。そのなかで天狗舞が山廃にこだわりつづけるのは、酒本来の旨味は山廃でこそ醸せると信じているからです。きめ細やかでふくらみのある酒を造るための手間暇は惜しみません。


Smokey Ajitama only at the Night Noodle Markets

Working on the trial of the limited topping available only at the Night Noodle Markets. Turned out superb! Looks the same but taste the smokiness of this egg infused in hickory and smoked bonito brine. Feeling excited and a bit nervous for our first pop up event starting this Thursday.

Upgrade to Tonkotsu Soup / 豚骨スープの改良について

May 26, 2014

Upgrade to Tonkotsu Soup

Tonkotsu, Red Tonkotsu and Fire Tonkotsu Ramen
$1.00 discount until upgrade is complete.

We have started to utilize pressure cooking of our soup and are currently tweaking the recipe and methods. The benefits of pressure cooking are 1) able to get a denser more freshly gelatinous soup, 2) fuel efficient = ecofriendly, 3) supply quantity increases. As of today, the resulting soup tastes beautiful using the same ingredients as before but the taste does not maintain until the end of the day. When the soup is fresh (this is best at 11:30 beginning of lunch shift) the soup is gelatinous, rich and tastes wonderful. However during the course of the day, it gradually loses emulsification and becomes light. This is what we are trying to improve. In the meantime, we will continue to serve Tonkotsu ramen but just as a token of our appreciation for your understanding, we will discount $1.00. Thank you for your cooperation. We certainly welcome any feedback and will reflect in our upgrading process.

豚骨スープの改良について

改良期間中、豚骨ラーメン、赤豚骨ラーメン、
鬼赤豚骨ラーメン$1.00引き

当店ではスープの製法に圧力鍋を取り入れはじめ、レシピを確定させるまで微妙な試行錯誤を繰り返しております。圧力鍋のメリットは①、よりゼラチン質がフレッシュな濃いスープがとれる、②、エコ、③、可能提供量が増える、などです。5月27日時点での課題として、基本的な具材は今までと変わりませんが、スープの仕上がりは満足いくものの、味の持続性が安定しておりません。出来上がりすぐの状態(ランチ営業開始直後がベスト)は以前よりもはるかにゼラチン感豊かな味わいで濃度もしっかり出ている状態で味わえますが営業中に保温を続けていると濃度は変わらないものの今までのスープと違い、乳化がとけはじめ、さらっとしすぎてしまいます。これを解決しようとしている所です。引き続き商品として豚骨ラーメンを提供していきますが、安定した味になるまでもうしばらくご理解ください。その間、ほんの気持ちですが豚骨ラーメンを1ドル値引きして提供致します。ぜひスタッフにご感想をフィードバックください。ご意見参考にさせていただき今後のスープ作りに反映していきます。
