Red Miso Tsukemen @ Ramen & Tsukemen Tao

Zac — Mon, 10 Jul 2023 01:42:21 +0000

Ramen & Tsukemen Tao, a culinary gem in Buena Park, California, fuses tradition and innovation to redefine ramen. This notable eatery, acknowledged in the Michelin Guide 2022, excels in the realm of Miso-style ramen, with two distinct options: robust red miso and a more subtle white miso.

At the core of their menu lies their meticulously prepared Japanese tsukemen. These noodles, sourced from Hokkaido’s well-respected Kobayashi Seimen, are paired with a delectably intense broth, the creation of which demands a 40-hour process.

The Red Miso Tsukemen stands tall among their offerings. This superb dish pairs a rich red miso dipping sauce with hearty noodles and succulent, thick-cut pork chashu, further heightened by the nuanced flavor of dried seaweed. An accompanying slice of lime may seem trivial, but when its juice is squeezed over the noodles before the dip, it adds a vibrant, fruity dimension that impeccably counters the tang of the red miso. This harmonious interplay between tang and savory makes the Red Miso Tsukemen truly unforgettable, a testament to the culinary mastery that Ramen & Tsukemen Tao contributes to Buena Park.

Ramen & Tsukemen Tao, a culinary gem in Buena Park, California, fuses tradition and innovation to redefine ramen. Owner Chef Toshimasa Sano honed his craft at the respected Tsujita in Tokyo, an esteemed artisan ramen brand that also has a popular outpost in Los Angeles. The late Jonathan Gold, a renowned food critic for the Los Angeles Times, crowned Tsujita as “the king of tonkotsu ramen in Los Angeles” in 2017, cementing its place in the ramen hall of fame.

At Ramen & Tsukemen Tao, Sano applies his expertise to create unique Miso-style ramen, offering two distinct options: the robust red miso and a more subtle, yet equally captivating, white miso.

A past and potentially future highlight on their menu is the electrifying Spicy Miso Ramen. This limited-time offering set tongues alight with the inclusion of sansho pepper, celebrated for its unique spice profile that imparts both heat and a tingling numbness. This dish is a testament to Ramen & Tsukemen Tao’s continued innovation, marking it as a must-visit destination for ramen lovers in Buena Park.

Up close with the peppers. You can see where the unique spicy and numbness come from.

This is only available till the end of March. If you like spice and the numbing sensation of sansho pepper, you’ll dig this.

Large Tsukemen with added egg.

This doesn’t come with egg, so I recommend you add it if you want one.

The dipping broth is thick.

I recommend you order a side of sprouts with the bowl. Add a little to the broth in between your noodle dips. It’s a great texture.

Thick noodles are served with this dish.

I recommend preparing these toppings for the noodles. Add some fresh cracked pepper, garlic, and seaweed.

I recommend getting the spicy paste on the side. This way you can change up the spicy level as you make your way through the bowl.

This is what it looks like from the top.

These noodles are perfect for this thick broth.

Put some of the spicy paste in your spoon and add some broth to it. I think it’s better to enjoy the spicy ramen like this instead of making the entire bowl spicy at once.
