Maru Ichi

Ate at Maru Ichi again this past Saturday. I ended up getting the same thing as last time: Maru Ichi Special with the Kuro broth. The noodles seemed to be better cooked this time around, they weren’t as mushy and had a little bit more texture. One of my friends who came with us ended up drinking all of the broth, which is impressive, but he’s very Japanese like that. The stewed pork was a little more fatty than last time, which was kind of sad. Other than the noodles and the stewed pork everything tasted the same. Hooray for consistency.

The only unfortunate thing to happen this time around was that one of my friends found a hair in her bowl.

Overall: Still a great place to go. The noodles were a little firmer this time and the stewed pork a little fattier.
