After last week’s St. Louis downhill, Ckucke and I met Root for post ride food. We went down the hill to Tenkaippin. This time around, I tried the Miso-aji ramen. The broth was lighter and thinner than the broth used with the Kotteri and Assari ramen. Instead of distinct, seperate toppings, there is a cooked mix of moyashi (mung bean sprouts), green onion, cooked ground pork, and diced charsiu. There wasn’t really a strong miso flavor in the broth. Of the three varieties I’ve tried, this was the only one I didn’t really like. This was unexpected, since the other things I’ve had here have been great. Maybe it’s just my personal taste and preferences (the crew knows how much I hate moyashi).
Not recommended unless you are a total miso ramen fan (try the other varieties instead)

I hate moyashi too!!! I hate it when I forget to ask for “no bean sprouts” at Taiyo. Thanks for the heads up at Tenkaippin, although I only order Kotteri ramen.
Yeah, just say “no” to bean sprouts! I’m glad it isn’t just me! Give the assari a try – I like it as much as the kotteri.
I dunno man… I think I tried the kotteri – was too thick for my taste, almost like diluted chicken gravy.
Mmm…gravy… (say it like Homer Simpson)
