Star Soupless Tantanmen
This is from Nakiryu, one of just three Tokyo Michelin star ramen shops!
Nakiryu specializes in tantanmen (dan dan noodles), a spicy style of ramen originally from Sichuan province in China. As you'd expect from a place with a Michelin star, Nakiryu's version is as elevated as tantanmen can get.
But this tantanmen doesn't exist at their restaurant - it's soupless! It features a buttery rich flavor and just enough spiciness in the background. Thick, flat noodles take in these beautiful flavors. This latest version includes a little bit of acidity, coming from tomatoes.
