G麺7

Mazesoba topped with all kinds of good things. G麺7’s signature bowl is a shoyu ramen, but I had just come from slurping at Sakurai and wanted something a bit different. What better way to experience their famous homemade noodles than with a soupless bowl of mix-em-up noodles.

The G麺7 group operates a few shops in the area. There’s also Susurimasenka (啜磨専科), Kawanosakinoue (川の先の上), and Romenzu (ロ麺ズ). What’s with those names?!?

The mixed miso mazesoba (合わせ味噌混ぜそば) was a flavor explosion. Ten different kinds of miso are blended for this one.

The noodles are made with five different kinds of flour. Of course, the mazesoba noodles are different from the shop’s regular thin noodles. If you go for the standard ramen you’ll get a classic shoyu ramen made with chicken and pork. I’m glad I got the limited mazesoba though, it really hit the spot.

Japanese flour sacks are stacked anywhere there is room.

This was another shop off my list from the book Best of the Best Ramen, an all-Japan guide with five different languages.
