First question you may ask, why is the soup black?!! Fret not...
The soup of the ramen is what sets Nantsuttei's ramen apart from the rest of the ramen restaurants. Floating on the surface of the soup is the fragrant black ma-yu (roast garlic oil) which forms an iconic component of the Nantsuttei flavor. This iconic roast garlic oil is created by frying garlic over seven phases.
Despite my resolve to go on a diet, this bowl of ramen is really difficult to resist. I really love the soup base as it is very tasty. However, some people may find the soup base slightly too salty.
If you like to see a wide variety of food on the menu as part of your dining experience, this is not your kind of place. There are really few choices (I guess less than 10?) on the menu, with nearly all of them ramen. The best and highly recommended choice is the cha-shu ramen. Remember to add an egg in ($1 each)! The eggs are really nice with a runny egg yolk but well boiled egg white. I do think the cooks put in a lot of effort in preparing the eggs. The remainder of the ramen choices is really just additional toppings of onion etc. Well... I do think its not worth the money to pay more for additional... onion?
Nantsuttei Ramen is a good place to eat ramen if you are craving for a bowl. And even if you are not, it's really worth a try.
