Nishicho Taiki Nishicho Main Shop

3.5

"This ramen shop which opened in 1947 is the originator of Toyama black ramen, Toyama's first ""B-class gourmet."" The shop, located a one-minute walk from Toyama City Tram Line Grand Plaza Station, is frequented by celebrities. Its main item, chuka soba (ramen noodles), is notable for its dark black soup, roast pork, and coarse-ground pepper. The richly-flavored broth packs a punch that borders on briny. Diners who cannot handle the saltiness can eat the ramen with a side of white rice to adjust the flavor. Beloved by laborers in Toyama since right after the end of World War II, Toyama black ramen has been thought of as a soul food for generations of Toyama citizens."

予想通りなのですが，私の口には合いませんでした．噂には聞いていましたが，予想を上回るビックリの塩っぱさ！何と言うか，醤油漬けみたいなラーメンです．旨みとか，そんなのわからないくらいの塩辛さで，正直，このラーメンの良さを理解できませんでした。店の前に行列ができていたことで，少し期待感もあったのですが，後で考えると，それも含め，悪い冗談なのかと．ブラックだけに．
