Tuna

In Uehonmachi, a new shop, "Tuna" has opened. Their name is 綱, pronounced "tsuna" in Japanese, but I guess they chose "Tuna" because they make seafood ramen? Wrong. Straight up shoyu chuka soba for this joint, but what's in a name, anyway?

上本町に「綱」という店ができました。綱の字何ですけど、英字で「TUNA」と書いてあります。魚系ラーメンだからかな?違います。中華そば専門店です。でも、名前は何でもいいじゃないですか?

The Bowl
This ramen was reminiscent of Takaida-kei bowls, the super dark and salty shoyu from the east of Osaka. Unlike those bowls, though, Tuna's broth was much smoother, making it easier to drink, but with the downside that the smooth, ropey noodles were a bit too thick for the soup.  The menma were a bit peppery, an unusual but welcome addition, and a single thin slice of juicy chashu topped the bowl.

けっこう高井田系ラーメンに似ていました。でも、普通の高井田系と違って、スープがまろやかで飲みやすかったです。その一方、麺がちょっと太くて味がうすかったです。メンマに黒こしょうがかけられて意外とうまかったです。最後に、ジューシーチャーシュー一枚が乗っていました。

Would I Go Again?
Maybe, it was solid but I'm not in a rush to return.

おいしかったですけど、また行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
This shop would be good for anyone who wants to try a version of Takaida-kei ramen that is very drinkable.

けっこう飲みやすい高井田系ラーメンなので、それに興味ある方におすすめします。
