"He brings that broad-ranging expertise to bear in his trademark shio ramen, blending six types of salt for his soup, rolling his own noodles in-house, and adding colorful vegetables and creative garnishes to his bowls."
"Along with the homemade noodles and its distinct impact, this shio ramen definitely represents a high quality slurp. You can tell a lot of love and care went into creating this bowl. The chashu even tasted like the salami I once ate in France."
"Light yet rich at the same time."
"This is a near perfect bowl. The tiny dried fish sitting on the top are the icing on the cake. Oh, fresh menma and homemade noodles. Don't forget about the homemade noodles."
"It`s really clear and beautiful soup. You`ll be surprised it`s taste of great depth. It`s just "fine quality." "
"A delicious bowl of shio ramen. It has an almost Italian flavor. The noodles are also made in house. Yum."
"As for the store staple, Shio ramen is the shop’s all-weather masterpiece. It is widely praised for its depth, and subtle flavors brought about by the deliberate use of different kinds of salt and dried fish for the broth, the combination of a variety of domestic flour and whole wheat for the noodles, and the slow cook method employed for meat toppings."
"One of the best shio (salt) ramen dishes in Japan."
"The taste of the ramen is just overwhelming."
"The result is a broth which is light texturally on first sip, but then gives way to a depth of flavour and umami. Kurkoi is a perfect example of the move towards highly sofisticated ramen using premium ingredients."
