STORY
Miso + curry...? Try a bold bowl of
ramen at Miso Noodle Spot KAKU-A
If ramen were something you could study in school, you’d probably learn in your 100-level intro class that there are four basic soups: shoyu (soy sauce), shio (salt), miso (fermented soybean paste), and tonkotsu (pork bone). But as you continue your studies, you’d realize that culinary geniuses can’t be limited to just the basics. Take for example Miso Noodle Spot KAKU-A (pronounced kah-koo-ae), where the chefs have combined the rich taste of miso with the bold kick of curry!
To make their curry miso ramen, Miso Noodle Spot KAKU-A adds an original blend of curry spices to their super-rich miso soup base. In addition to your typical toppings like pork belly and menma, your thick futomen noodles are topped with even more good stuff like cheese, tomatoes, and celery. It's an unusual combination, but it comes together really well.
Making the deliciousness last just a little longer with more mild soup. Also, I love this little mascot thing peeking out of the bowl.
Fans of bold flavors will love this ramen, but you can bring the intensity down a notch with a mild soup the shop provides if it's a little too strong for your taste. Adding more soup is also a good way to make the deliciousness last a little longer.
Miso Noodle Spot KAKU-A is located within minutes of Shinjuku Gyoen. This makes it a great place to stop for lunch or dinner during a day of sightseeing. The inside of the shop feels closer to a casual bar than a typical ramen-ya. The walls are white, and the seats at the counter invite you to relax and enjoy while you slurp up your noodles.
Then there are these cute little dudes. There are paper bibs in the black one and hair elastics in the white. Why hair elastics? So patrons with long hair don't have to worry about it getting into their soup! Japanese customer service is just that awesome.
