At Miyakko Ramen, starting today, Monday, July 1, they’ve begun serving the limited-time menu item “T.K.M (tamago kake men)”,
(Info provided by Sasako @ Nishitsu SP)
So we headed straight to the main shop in Kotoen to try it!!
Here it is on the map↓
The address is 〒663-8006 兵庫県西宮市段上町１丁目６−７.
Miyakko Ramen’s limited-time noodle dish “T.K.M (tamago kake men)”
T.K.M DX (Tamago Kake Men Deluxe) ¥1,150 (tax included)
You can choose your noodles hot or cold. They recommended the cold version, so this time we went with “cold”.
Look at this!! That orange egg yolk. The eggs come from Mukaihara Farm in the highlands of Hiroshima, and apparently adding paprika to the feed gives them this vivid color.
Here are the toppings↓
Chashu pork, green onion, nori, boiled egg, menma, kimchi, and ginger — so much variety!
They also gave us disposable chopsticks along with instructions on how to eat it. Miyakko Ramen usually has black reusable chopsticks set out, but maybe the T.K.M noodles are too slippery for those
Here’s how to eat it↓
This time we got the set without rice, so let’s try steps ① through ④ in order.
① First, without mixing, try just the noodles. The noodles are made with whole wheat flour, giving them a chewy texture and nice firmness. There’s a grain aroma, just the right saltiness, and… the scent of dashi!? Wait, is this really just the flavor of the noodles? So good~~
Next, ② mix everything well. Hm? Is there something underneath the noodles?
There was actually soup hiding underneath!
As it turns out, these noodles↓
had a soy sauce-based mixing sauce underneath, and a shellfish dashi-based pouring sauce over the noodles.
So that elegant umami in the noodles came from the “shellfish dashi”! Honestly, the noodles alone were already amazing
Here’s how it looks after mixing.
The egg yolk and the two kinds of dashi come together, making it sooooo rich~~~~~ What a luxurious TKM
③ Wrap the noodles with the toppings. First up has to be the chashu pork. I’m excited, since this is a totally new way to eat it. High expectations.
What is this? It goes so well together! The fattiness and savory aroma of the chashu mix with the noodles and bring out such a great flavor. This is seriously addictive.
We tried it with other toppings too. Kimchi on nori. No surprise, this was delicious too. I want more nori
There are so many toppings, the combinations are endless. It’s fun just thinking about what to pair next.
At this point, let’s just mix a whole bunch in! We tried all kinds of combinations, and no matter how you mix it, it’s good.
I just kept going and going~~~
Oh! There was ginger too! It instantly gives the dish a refreshing flavor.
Actually, couldn’t we add these tabletop toppings too?
There’s no way this wouldn’t work.
With garlic chives, chili pepper, and sesame oil, the flavor gets a real kick. Honestly, it’s amazing how one plate can give you this many endless flavor changes.
