Ramen shop [Matsumiya] / ラーメン処 「松美屋」

Of course while we were in Hirosaki for the Snow Festival, we had to eat lunch as well. We settled on a place called [Matsumiya]. A ramen shop that serves Tsugaru Ramen. I've tried some other places that serve Tsugaru ramen. I was interested in seeing how this shop was.

弘前城の灯篭祭りを観たとき、もちろんどこかでランチも食べないっと。弘前公園の近くに「松美屋」というラーメン屋があって、そのに決定。気になるのはメニューに書いてある津軽らぁーめん。

The Tsugaru ramen is 600 yen. On the menu, it says the soup of the Tsugaru ramen is made with dried horse mackerels for a Japanese style taste. The ramen is topped with green onions, pork, bamboo shoots, fu (Japanese wheat gluten) and naruto (small fish cake). You can also choose from two types of noodles. Either hand cut noodles or very thin noodles. You can order a larger portion but it will cost 50 yen extra.

津軽らぁーめんは６００円です。メニューに書いてあるのは、鯵の煮干しを使い、あっさりした和風味のスープが特徴。具はねぎ、チャーハン、メンマー、麸、となると。麺は手打ち、又は細麺から選べる。大盛りはプラス５０円。

The white and pink item is the naruto. The bread like item is the fu. It was the first time I've tried this. It soaks up the soup which adds flavor to it. Very strange but good.

アメリカ人の友達が多分知らないと思うから、なるとと麸が分かる様に伝えた。

Bon Appetit!

いただきます！
