Ramen-Satan is back here!
Today in the evening about 7:45 p.m. I visited a Jiro-inspired ramen shop, Kaminari Honten*, (雷 本店) Kita-Matsudo, Matsudo city (松戸市北松戸).
In fact at first I would like to visit Ramen Jiro Kan-nana Ichinoe (ラーメン二郎 環七一之江店) because Jiro Senju-oohashi (二郎 千住大橋店) or Matsudo (同 松戸店) had been already on the summer vacation.
But Ichinoe is a little far from my house therefore I visited Kaminari which was much nearer to it than Ichinoe.
This was the first time for me to come to this shop.
There were about 5 or 6 persons waiting before me but I needed not wait so much to get a seat.
Outside of Kaminari
I chose extralarge-sized "Kaminari Soba" (ramen) (雷そば 特盛) (800 yen.)
This was very good ramen but different from Jiro; indeed its soup was thick but thick like tsukemen's one.
(That can be understood because Kaminari belongs to the same chain of the most popular tsukemen shop in Tokyo area, Tomita* (とみ田), Matsudo, Matsudo city.)
In other words, this was ramen with tsukemen soup in which noodles and boiled vegetables sank.
This soup was cooked in good stock probably with dried fish (魚節) but lacked faint sweetness of lard (脂) and a little salty taste of say sauce, both of which Jiro's ramen has (or at least, is expected to have.)
Extralarge-sized "Kaminari Soba"
Inside the shop also an atmosphere was different from Jiro.
Some of families visited there and next to me on the left side two women had seats at a counter.
These women talked with each other too noisy during eating ramen; I was annoyed by them.
We should eat ramen without noise.
Inside the shop lanterns were hooked
It was good that the room was well air-conditioned.
In this season it must be cool inside the shop in order to eat up ramen all, especially Jiro.
(Last Friday, Aug. 12, in the evening I visited Jiro Ikebukuro (二郎池袋店) with Canon, I was annoyed very much because it was hot inside the shop.)
By the way, I left vegetables unfinished a little; recently I have not wanted to eat more vegetables in Jiro(-inspired.)
Of course Kaminari served me too many vegetables as I gave a call "Yasai Mashi" (more vegetables) to them.
I do not want more vegetables maybe because I got old; I might be far from being Jirolian.
