プレミアム正宗担々麺 / Premium Masamune Tantanmen / Lashowhan — Komagome, Tokyo
Shirunashi tantanmen. The soup uses chicken carcasses, pork leg bones, back bones and vegetables. The tare is a special blend of salt, vinegar and spices. Particular types of Szechuan peppercorns are imported from China, including premium grade Hanyuan and Da Hong Pao varieties. The objective is to create the perfect balance of spice and numbness. Ground pork meat topping is stir-fried until soft, with extra oil extracted and umami retained. Two types of noodles are special ordered (noodle purveyor will change to Mikawaya Seimen in the near future). Additional toppings include negi and radish sprouts. Black vinegar (also imported from China) available as a condiment.
Master Okada-san previously lived in Hong Kong, he speaks fluent Mandarin and has extensively studied the spices and flavors used in traditional Asian cooking (including the dish dandanmien). After searching for years, he was finally able to source all of the special ingredients used in his dishes. Lashowhan Kanda open since 2007. Komagome branch since 2015. Eight seats.
