Pumpkin ramen from Menya Shinchan


This seemed to be relatively new on the menu at Menya Shinchan and because it was a pumpkin soup base, I just had to give it a go. With an extra order of egg. The creamy pumpkin and pork bone broth was mildly sweet (from the pumpkin likely) yet savoury in taste which was something I found pleasant. Broth didn't have much viscosity but there was a milky quality to it. I'm guessing this was seasonal. Maybe? This trip was also another reminder of what I like about this place. The smoky tasting egg and soft charshu slices. All excellent with the generous portions of crunchy bean sprouts and scallion toppings. I hope this item is going to be here to stay.
