らぁめん葉月

Hazuki falls under the Mix category of ramen. This category came around in the last few years to give a home for soups blended with fish. It’s often a double soup made with traditional pork and chicken broth and seafood dashi made with plenty of skipjack tuna and other dried fish. Expect big levels of umami. Hazuki is ranked high in this category with a 96.105 on the ramen database and a 3.9 on Tabelog. Respectable scores!

The tare seasoning has some intense ocean umami. White soy sauce is blended with dried shrimp, scallops, konbu, and French salt.

The toppings are a solid match for the soup. There’s probably a more elegant adjective, but I’ll call these chunky toppings. The chunky slice of roast pork chashu isn’t too tough, a problem that many shops like this have.

Chunky bamboo shoots that are slightly sweet. The texture shouldn’t be too hard. These were excellent, as was the slice of chicken chashu.

Plump wontons. By the way, check out this video from Ramen Walker TV. I’m not on the show this time, but it’s still worth a watch.
