Savor the Anticipation
Recently, I tried 7-Eleven’s new release, the “Tonkotsu Gyokai Chilled Tsukemen” supervised by the famous Tomita ramen shop. As a busy 35-year-old man, I often rely on convenient store foods for quick meals. The collaboration with a renowned ramen shop heightened my expectations and excitement.
First Impressions
Upon opening the package, I was greeted by the sight of robust, thick noodles. The aroma of wheat was noticeable, and the noodles had a firm, chewy texture that exceeded typical convenience store quality. I was thoroughly impressed.
The Alluring Broth
The broth offered a rich tonkotsu gyokai flavor, with a thick consistency that clung well to the noodles. The fish powder added a distinctive touch, enhancing the savory pork essence. The chilled broth was perfect for the hot summer days.
Delightful Toppings
The toppings were equally impressive. The roasted pork (chashu) was tender and juicy, and the seasoned egg (ajitama) tasted just like the ones you’d find in a ramen shop. Adding the “spicy seasoning” provided a delightful kick, making the flavor experience even more enjoyable.
Overall Impression
The “Tonkotsu Gyokai Chilled Tsukemen” supervised by Tomita is an excellent option for busy professionals to enjoy high-quality ramen flavors conveniently. While some may be concerned about calories or nutritional content, the deliciousness makes it worth trying. For your next lunch, consider giving it a go!
