| - After trying all of the ramen places in the Phoenix area, I had to try this place as well, and it was AMAZING. Because I usually base the ramen quality of a restaurant on the Tonkostsu ramen, I had a hard time deciding between the Tonkotsu and the Tsukemen ramen. Instead, I decided to have my friend order the Tonkotsu so I can taste the broth, and I would order the Tsukemen ramen. I have tried the Tsukemen ramen in LA and in Japan so I definitely had to try the only place in Phoenix and the surrounding area that served Tsukemen ramen.
For those that don't know, the Tsukemen ramen comes with separate broth in another bowl and you would dip the ramen noodles in the broth instead of having the broth and noodles in the same bowl. The broth was similar to a sweet thick soy sauce with sesame oil and topped with lots of sesame seeds and green onions. It was delicious! The texture of the broth and the oil really coated the ramen well and ensured a lot of flavor with each bite. In addition, there was this crunch to it from the sesame seeds. The prosciutto that came with the ramen was also very tasty, and it was refreshing to see a prosciutto used in this way.
Next time, I'll have to try the Tonkotsu ramen fully. Being the only place as of right now to serve Tsukemen ramen and doing a great job at it, I will have to give this place a 5 star. For a different variety in your ramen diet, OBON sushi won't disappoint.
