Nakiryu is a Michelin-starred ramen shop that has been getting a bit of attention lately because Nissin has made an instant version of it. And fortunately, a friend of ours scored some in Japan and brought some back. Naturally, we were very curious to see if a one-Michelin starred bowl could be replicated in instant form.
It's too bad then that was disappointingly boring, and in fact tasted like mere instant noodles. The broth was relatively bland and lacked the punchiness that I was hoping for, despite the packet of red oil that comes along with it. The noodles were slightly better than your typical instant noodle, but it got soft very quickly.
I'm assuming that the actual shop in Japan is much better than this. But if the real thing tastes similar, then I won't bother waiting in line there. In the meantime, if I want a good tantanmen at home, then UberEATS delivers a pretty good bowl of Bingiri from Takumen.
