Here’s what they had to say about this one – ‘We selected this delicious cup from Toyo Suisan’s Menzukuri series (麺づくり.) It’s pure white chicken soup combined with slightly thick non-fried noodles, bok choy and bamboo shoots. The tori paitan soup (鶏白湯), which has a mild chicken oil aroma, is light and easy to drink. For this version, they made the main ingredients for the taste yuzu and peper (ゆず＆胡椒). Traditionally, yuzu is combined with chili pepper, but this time they used regular pepper for more freshness. For this cup as well, we recommend adding the powder and oil bag about 5 minutes after pouring the hot water, which will allow the flavors to disperse better.’
Chicken and yuzu sounds like good bedfellows. I’m in the mood – time to cook.

Pak choi and menma.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added egg, chashu, mung bean sprout, spring onion, sesame seed, and shichimi. The noodle was really quite nice – decent backbone and rather toothsome. The broth wasn’t tonkotsu like; kind of a smoky chicken and yuzu combo with a hefty broth. I was pleasantly surprised. 4.0 out of 5.0 stars JAN bar code 49019
