“Got invited for a complimentary meal for their newly released ramen menu! Tried their Uni Cream Pasta/Matcha Ramen/Crispy Ramen/Chashu + Shio Ramen. Personally, the Uni Cream Pasta was fine, paired nicely with the prosciutto but there wasn't enough of it imo. Sweet and creamy uni, better than your standard uni. The matcha ramen was the one that caught me off guard, usually something like this is just a gimmick and is just hopping onto the matcha hype but it was genuinely balanced and not overly matcha-y. A bit of sweet corn and truffle oil gave it depth and the garlic chips on top gave it a nice roastiness! Crispy Ramen reminded me of a Chinese dish; home-y savory flavor with the "broth" being more of a thick sauce, served in a hot plate. The Shio Ramen was probably my favorite of the bunch, it was light and clean but did not lack flavor at all. Built with snapper, scallop, and grilled shrimp, you can really taste the umami. It's also topped with some ume, giving it an acidic kick which contrasted with the flavor of the broth, allowing you to enjoy it as if it was your first sip! Definitely recommend. Chashu for me personally, was a tad bit sweet. Overall, a great experience and much thanks to Chef Nobu for the invitation!”
