Al dente noodles, perfectly chewy and slippery
The Noodles
At 麺屋政宗, each slurp of noodles brings forth the essence of wheat with a delightful chewiness that is testament to their freshness. The noodles are thick enough to carry the rich broth, providing a satisfying mouthfeel that invites you to dive deeper into the bowl.
The Broth
The broth, a critical player in the symphony of flavors, is robust and packed with umami. It is the kind of broth that envelops you in warmth and depth of flavor from the first sip. The balance of savory and a slight hint of sweetness complements the noodles impeccably.
Aromatic and hearty broth, the soul of any ramen dish

The green onions add a necessary bite that cuts through the richness, enhancing the overall complexity of the ramen.
