Maguro Ramen

In a steaming bowl sits glossy marinated tuna (zuke). With one sip of the soup, the umami of tuna and soy sauce gently spreads. As the heat slightly changes the color of the marinade from raw to a translucent texture, you can enjoy the culinary delight of its changing mouthfeel. This local ramen was created in the Kagoshima port town that prospered through tuna landings. It originated in Ichikikushikino City, conceived around the year 2000 by local restaurant owners wanting to promote their town. The broth is a blend of white dashi made from bonito and kelp, simmered slowly with tuna heads, garlic, and ginger. The star of the show is the raw marinated tuna placed on top instead of traditional chashu pork. The seafood-scented soup clings perfectly to the medium-thin curly noodles. It is a luxurious bowl unique to a town of tuna.
