ICHIBANTEI |
Tan tan-men is everyonefs favorite.
From youngsters to the geriatric set, the words tan tan-men are on the tips of tongues everywhere in Japan. The nationwide ramen chain is actually Ichibantei, but at least on Okinawa, everyone talks about going to Tan tan-men.
Itfs not difficult to select from the menu, which has a half-dozen basic ramens with variations to individual palates. Therefs a bowl just for you, regardless of your gchicken levelh of adventure.
Tan tan-men is a spicy ramen noodle dish with a superb blending of miso and sesame flavors. Add in minced pork and some hot peppers, and therefs a wonderful meal. The dish is believed to have originated in Schezwan, China many hundreds of years ago.
The beauty of tan tan-men is that the heat intensity can be cranked up to suit your palate, without destroying the essential flavors of the noodles. Thatfs often a problem in some restaurants, with some recipes, but not at Ichibantei. You can take the basic dish, which is mildly spicy, kick it up a notch with a red soup called Super Tan tan-men, or really set the sweat glands in motion with a choice of three higher levels of pepper pots. All dishes are well under \1,000.
The restaurant also offers soy and miso ramen dishes, as well as a pork driven dish, Paitanshan-men. The Paitanshan-men is filled with slices of roast pork, a soft boiled egg, and black oil, nominally priced under \700.
Our favorite appetizer is pot stickers, or gyoza, served in varying sizes to include a platter of 20. Inexpensive, filling, and delicious. The other side of Ichibanteifs appetizer-on-the-table is a complimentary kimchi with a real zip.
Beverages include beer, which goes great with the spicy dishes, and there are fried rice to accompany meals. Desserts include ice creams and other super sweets.
