Niboshi Shoyu @ Tatsunoya Ramen

Zac — Mon, 03 Jul 2023 04:40:20 +0000

June 2023 brought a special treat to Pasadena’s Tatsunoya Ramen – the Niboshi Shoyu Ramen. This dish had a unique fish broth and was topped with soft, poached salmon, crunchy bamboo shoots, fish cake, green onion, and seaweed. The niboshi gave a slightly bitter edge, adding a layer of complexity to the flavors without overpowering them. For those new to the fishy taste of niboshi, it might take some getting used to, much like it did for me. However, over time, this taste has grown on me, and I find myself drawn to it. All these elements combined to create a truly special bowl during that month.

Lemon Tonkotsu @ Ramen Tatsunoya

The Lemon Tonkotsu at Tatsunoya Ramen was a special feature during the month of June 2023. This unique bowl started with a base of their expertly crafted pork broth, a recipe honed over decades at the shop. Thin slices of lemon, green onions, and black pepper topped off the dish, pairing with thin, delicate noodles. The lemon cut through the richness of the pork, offering a refreshing contrast that brightened the bowl. While the inclusion of a slice of chashu would have been welcomed, the Lemon Tonkotsu was, overall, good.

As we move into July, we bid farewell to this limited-time dish, a testament to Tatsunoya Ramen’s consistent high standards. Remember, this enticing bowl was a one-month special for June 2023. Hopefully, Tatsunoya will continue to mix things up with more interesting limited-time specials in future.

The Curry Ramen at Ramen Tatsunoya is a delightful blend of pork broth and curry. With toppings of chopped chashu, shredded cheese, some chopped red pepper, and cabbage, this dish truly highlights the rich umami flavor of the pork and curry broth. Served with medium-thick, chewy noodles, this bowl is guaranteed to satisfy both your ramen and curry cravings.

Please note, this bowl isn’t always available, so it’s a good idea to check with the shop before planning your visit.

Spicy Miso Tonkotsu @ Ramen Tatsunoya

Zac — Thu, 08 Oct 2020 07:13:00 +0000

The Spicy Miso Tonkotsu Ramen served at Tatsunoya features a blend of three kinds of miso – red, white, and barley – mixed with their signature broth. The spice level is just right, providing a kick without overwhelming your palate. The tonkotsu broth is rich and hearty, providing a perfect complement to the miso. It’s topped with wood ear mushrooms, bean sprouts, cabbage, and a soft-boiled egg, and is served with thick noodles.

Tatsunoya has spent over two decades perfecting this broth, so they kindly request that customers refrain from making substitutions or modifications when ordering their ramen. They encourage you to simply savor what they’ve expertly crafted for you.

Tatsunoya operates two locations in LA. The original, which I prefer, is located in Pasadena. Their newest location, also worth a visit, is in Silverlake.
