つけ麺の初体験 First Time to Eat "Tsukemen"

Tsukemen at Issei, Togura Kamiyamada Onsen's stylish new ramen joint

ラーメン=スープに麺。

そば=面を汁につける

それは私の中で今までの常識でした。

今日は初めて「つけ麺」を食べました。ざるそばのように、面とスープが別々で、面をスープにつけて食べる。面白い発想やな。まあ、皆さんに「当たり前」かもしれませんが、私にとっては新鮮でした。

何でもそうですが、ラーメンも進化してきたね。よし!亀清旅館で次の改善・進化は何にするか。まず、この美味しいつけ麺を食べま~す。

Ramen = noodles in a soup.

Soba = noodles dipped in a sauce.

Up until now, that had been my experience with Japanese noodles. Today, for the first time, I had tsukemen, which is kind of a hybrid of the two: ramen noodles and soup separate, with the noodles dipped in the sauce and eaten. Hmm, what a concept! And it tasted great, too.

It made me think what kind of new concepts I can introduce at our inn, Kamesei Ryokan. But first, I am going to enjoy my first tsukemen!
