Kubo-chan ramen
I found out about the soft opening of a new dish at Moko Moko bar in Manhattan. From this week they will serve ramen. Here is an exceprt from the invite:
“Mr. Kubo is a ordinary “salary-man” works for a company in NYC. He loves Ramen sooo much and he has been studying how to make Ramen over 10 years. He even took Ramen boot camp which was offered by a Ramen noodle company in Shikoku island.”
I would really like to learn how to make noodles, and the broth, so I was particularly interested to see what a “salary-man” could come up with. 1/2 size bowls of shoyu and shio ramen were served. I would give his cha-shu a 9, broth a 7 and noodles a 6. All in all not a shabby bowl of ramen. I don’t think he is going to take a chunk of business from Ippudo, but it’s inspirational none the less.
Looking at the photos, I thought you made them home.
It’s really hard to believe that a Japanese chose this “not-so-Japanese-looking bowl” for Ramen business even if it’s plastic to go.
Oh, that was just for the party, so that many people could try it. It was only 1/4 bowls of ramen. I think they will have a real bowl starting today.
