It's been a while since I've been to Ichiran. So today I went all-out with my bowl by requesting strong dashi, extra rich broth, one full clove of garlic, green onions inclusive of the white bulbs, and extra firm noodles. Despite that, I realized that my brain now associates Ichiran with instant noodles given how easy it is to buy their boxes these days. But I still ate it with ease, and drank all the broth above.
Next time I need to remember that the red sauce was decently spicy enough at level 2 but was just too sweet. So I could crank it down one notch just to avoid the sugar. Plus, the default noodle portion is really small. That can be a good thing when one is just getting a quick afternoon snack, while also easy being enough to opt for kaedama with a few coins in the booth if one is really pursuing a full meal.
