中華そば國松

Kunimatsu came recommended by the chef at Musashibo, another local 汁なし担担麺 place. When the master at your favorite new shop says to go, you go. This is another one of Hiroshima’s soupless tantanmen shops. The recent boom of this style remains a mystery. Clever marketing or something more?

ZIP! Hey, I did that show before, I think. Maybe not.

Pretty decent one here. As always, a small serving of noodles sitting in a spicy oil sauce. Moderate amounts of sansho pepper gave this one a little kick, and it went really well with a beer.

Mix it up. Part of the Hiroshima shirunashi tantanmen scene is to put a bowl of rice into the leftover sauce. That might explain why the serving sizes were all quite small. Probably a tasty idea, but I was in foodie mode, what with the handy map I picked up.

Having crushed three of them, plus the King-Ken popup in Ginza, I feel like I did Hiroshima’s soupless scene a little justice. See you next year!
