Thanks for the meal! I drank it all. I drink everything delicious! Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture
Mame Tengu Takayama Main Store A soy sauce broth infused with the umami of chicken bones, vegetables, and seafood,
passed down since its founding in 1948 Thin, curly homemade noodles pair perfectly with the soup
A simple, nostalgic, comforting flavor Delicious! So good! The seafood broth is delicious! Whenever I come to Takayama, I always come to Mametengu. I really like it. The thick, straight homemade noodles and
the special dipping sauce packed with umami are a perfect match. Mame Tengu’s tsukemen is incredibly delicious, so I think it’s a very well-balanced tsukemen. Local ramen that captivates many people
is also hugely popular with foreign tourists! Taiwan It had a gentle flavor and was delicious. Serving up to 230 bowls a day! We go inside the beloved Hida Takayama ramen shop, famous for its consistently delicious taste. Kamioka-cho, Hida City, Gifu Prefecture Noodle Manufacturer: Shimizuya Noodles Mr. Shimizu, the owner of Men no Shimizuya,
runs the shop as the third-generation owner of Mametengu. At Men no Shimizuya,
he prepares the soup for all three Mametengu locations. 8:04
Preparing the soup Mr. Shimizu (36 years old) Splitting chicken bones with a hammer Make broth with chicken bones and pork bones Cut vegetables Onion Carrot Staff) Mr. Shimizu, what generation of the Shimizuya noodle shop are you? Shimizuya Noodles was also founded in 1948, and I’m the fourth generation. Since Mametengu was also founded in 1948,
I thought this was fate too. Here we have the Takayama Main Store and the Gero Onsen Branch. The third-generation Mame Tengu opened another shop in Takayama City
in August. We prepare the soup for all three shops here. We try not to cook at the shops themselves Our style is to separate operations and preparation. So we prepare everything in Kamioka Town and ship it out. For regular ramen, we add the base sauce and add the soup at the shop to combine them. Takayama Chinese Soba adds the sauce during the preparation stage so it’s simmered together with the soup. Staff) It has a distinctive soy sauce flavor, though. Takayama Chinese noodles are also divided into two types: rich-flavored ramen and light-flavored ramen. We use the lighter, milder type. Skim off the scum. Leaving some scum behind can actually add umami flavor Add the chopped vegetables Add chicken fat. Kombu Dried shiitake mushrooms Add to the soup Staff) It takes quite a while, doesn’t it? Yes. We cook it for 5 hours. Now we’ll make the sauce. We’ll make a soy sauce-based sauce to combine with the soup. Using Gifu soy sauce. This prepared soup. Add the soup from the previous day, which has been replenished over many years Sake and mirin Add to the pot Pork belly Cook the chashu pork together Staff) How much longer should we simmer it? About 2 hours from here. Simmer for about an hour and a half after it boils. Staff) Once this is done, we take it to the store? Yeah, that’s right. Staff) When we add more stores, the prep work will increase again. It will increase. Yes. I think it will become more difficult. But even amidst the difficulty, we’ll incorporate efficiency improvements we’ll be sure to incorporate things like
using machinery and such Takayama City, Gifu Prefecture Hida Takayama is known for its rich natural environment
and well-preserved traditional townscape It’s a popular spot visited by many tourists, including foreigners Established in 1948
