"Akamaru Modern at Ippudo NY — the modern ramen features a soy sauce tare that gives the broth a deep mahogany colour, the noodles are wavy and coated with a fat that carries flavour, the chashu pork is braised until it is almost falling apart in the bowl."
"Akamaru uses a blended miso tare — the complexity of multiple fermented pastes shows in the depth of flavor. The garlic oil on top is applied tableside from a silver pitcher. This is theatrical ramen done correctly."
"The miso adds a layer of fermented complexity that plain tonkotsu cannot achieve. The pork belly is torch-seared to order — you can smell the char. The noodles arrive with separate timing to maintain their chew."
