| Ramen California's ramen,
presented by a legendary chef and producer of restaurant,
Shigetoshi Nakamura, is stunning. Every single sip makes you want
to have more, and more. The real relish from Japan and its quality
is irrefragable. Their menu is unique and there are two categories
for the soup base of ramen; standard and original. Under the standard menu, they have authentic style of ramen based on soy sauce, tonkotsu (pork bone) and salt-flavor ramen. On the other hand, mushroom, California and curry ramen, that makes this California ramen outstanding among others can be found under the original menu. Since ramen as Chinese noodle was introduced in Japan, it has evolved and been arranged to be suitable for Japanese taste and it's been spread nationally. Ramen became one of the most favorite food of Japanese people. Like every other food, it is true that everyone has different preference in their taste on Ramen, ingredients, soup-base, the thickness of noodles, and how spicy they should be, etc. So Ramen has been diversified across the nation to cover various different request people make. As a result, there exist so many kinds of ramen and each represents a certain region where the ramen was invented, therefore, it is not too much to say that ramen is now a soul food for the Japanese. Then finally the time for the Americans to have a ramen that represents California has come. Especially, the California ramen is their signature and it features over 30 vegetables in it. Vegetables make the ramen taste lighter but you would sill feel the depth of the broth. According to Mr. Nakamura, the most important essence for good dishes is to understand thoroughly about its ingredients. For example, knowing how and where the vegetables were cultivated makes it possible to take advantage of them because the environment affects the taste a lot. The broth of many ingredients hand-picked by Nakamura is incredibly rich and deep. Not only the soup but also the other side toppings on the ramen are startling too. Char siu (BBQ pork) tastes so wonderful that it even became a separate side menu for itself. Moreover, most of ramen restaurants do not cook Mamma (bamboo) so they all end up tasting the same, however, here at Ramen California, it is cooked well so you can experience the totally different bamboo texture and rich flavor of miso (bean paste). The origin of ramen you enjoy at Ramen California is certainly from Japan, but the ramen that represents California made by Nakamura only exits here in Torrance. |
