There are plenty more signs that, if nothing else, it’s going to be a very tasty year.
of eating at this set-course ramen tasting counter in San Francisco, so of course I planned a visit when I was in town on a recent trip. I was extremely excited, but admittedly could not figure out what a set-course ramen dinner would look like. Was I going to pound six consecutive bowls of noodles and soup? That sounded good, but overwhelming.
What really got me was a dish that had no broth. A small swirl of bouncy, tightly wound noodles were slicked with salty shoyu tare and adorned with a lobe of uni, a soy-cured egg yolk, and cured salmon roe. I could’ve stared at the dish for hours, but the instructions from the kitchen were clear: “Stir it all up and make it ugly.” As the uni melted into the noodles and egg yolk glossed every strand, there was nothing ugly about it.

The crunchy vegetable was served over a slather of creamy black sesame tahini and topped with tongue-tickling Calabrian chili vinaigrette. I made sure to ask for a hunk of sourdough to sop up the last saucy bits on the plate.
