麺や河野

A recent adventure to booze-spiked Koshi had me wanting more. More alcohol in my ramen!

Kono’s original draw was just that. Forget the noodles, just look at this menu.

For a mere 300 or 500 yen, you can have a glass of choice tequilla. Nice price! And in a country that doesn’t know the difference between blanco and anejo, this selection is amazing.

Being 11 in the morning, I abstained.

Sort of. The shop’s special bowl, the R-20, includes a shot of the stuff. Sorry kids and drivers!

Yeah, you should be skeptical of this bowl at first. Seems like a gimmick.

But the tequilla, the cilantro, the lime… it melds with the shio broth perfectly. Any other soup, shoyu or miso for example, would be too much. And I think tonkotsu-gyokai would pair better with a nice scotch.

It’s hard to review this bowl without making wise-cracks, so I’ll just say that it was great.

And yeah, I felt tipsy after eating this. A shot of booze in the morning will do that!
