Dried Fish Broth Tsukemen Miyamoto has been ranked in the top 100 for five consecutive years. Recently, it had been surpassed by Hissui, but it had long been the top shop in the Kamata area. The shop that ignited the trend of rich dried fish broth in Kamata. I'm not a big fan of tsukemen, so I hadn't been here before. According to word of mouth, the line doesn't seem to be too hard, so I arrived at 10:55, 5 minutes before opening. ...11 people waiting. Well, that's to be expected. I underestimated it, but if it's the second round 5 minutes before opening, it should be quite easy. After opening, I entered in order, and after the seats were full, I bought a meal ticket and lined up again. This place is rare in that it specializes in dried fish broth tsukemen, so the rich dried fish broth is better, but today is the last day for the summer limited cold dried fish broth tsukemen. Limited to 20 servings. I hesitated but ended up giving in to the word "limited." Summer limited cold light dried fish broth tsukemen (salt) ¥1050, extra noodles ¥100, smoked soft-boiled egg ¥170, total ¥1320. Today, there doesn't seem to be a seasoned egg, so I went with extra noodles. By the way, the noodle portion sizes are: regular: 150g, medium: 250g, large: 350g, special: 450g. I was expecting a rich, thick soup, so it's a bit disappointing that the limited one is light. But I wonder how a cold dried fish broth would taste with bitterness and astringency. There are 9 seats in the shop. I'm the 12th person, so I'm third in the second round. I thought I wouldn't have to wait too long, but I was able to enter the shop at 11:35. The atmosphere inside the shop is like an old-fashioned standing soba shop. It's clean and has a nostalgic feel. It has a sense of being a long-established shop even though it's only been around for about 8 years. There are chili pepper and yuzu powder on the table for seasoning. Limited servings seem to take a while. People who ordered the regular tsukemen are being served quickly, one after another. The limited one is quite thin noodles, while the regular one is quite thick noodles, which is a mystery. I wait while drinking water. The water is ice-cold and delicious. It took about 10 minutes to be served. The thin noodles have a beautiful noodle line, with two types of chashu, a seasoned egg, and large shiso leaves. In the dipping sauce, there are onions and myoga. I like myoga, so I'm happy to see it. The noodles are extremely thin straight noodles made with kombu water. Really thin. I almost think it's somen or capellini. It's firm and has a good texture, but maybe because it's thin, I don't really taste the noodles themselves. When dipped in the sauce, it mixes nicely. The dipping sauce is extremely fishy. It's so fishy that it's hard to believe it's light. There's almost no bitterness or astringency. It's amazing that a cold dish with dried fish broth would taste like this. I think people who don't like dried fish might not like it. This is amazing. The refreshing and sharp soup goes well with the cold dish. This is perfect for summer. They must have tried many times to get this right. I thought about changing the flavor, but I think it's delicious as it is. The texture of the onions and myoga is also good. The chashu is made with chicken breast and pork shoulder loin, both cooked at low temperatures. The chicken breast is moist and normal. The shoulder loin was tasty, but it might not go well with the dried fish dipping sauce. The seasoned egg is delicious. It has a lightly refined smoked flavor. It's a bit expensive at ¥170, but it's worth it. After finishing the noodles, I added kombu water to the soup and finished it. Hmm, it was delicious. It's a shame that the cold dish is ending today. I'd like to try the rich one next time.
