What does it taste like?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

I love Ramen Ichiran, but every time I see a store photo on Google Maps or a ticket vending machine, I’m always curious about the sour taste of Oskaran.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was 130 yen anyway, so I decided to give it a try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ichiran’s original vinegar is made with black vinegar as a base and is made with a carefully selected combination of various ingredients. Adding it to ramen brings out the flavor even more, allowing you to enjoy a new Ichiran deliciousness. Ichiran’s original sour seasoning has a flavor like no other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ichiran’s original vinegar is made with black vinegar as a base and is made with a carefully selected combination of various ingredients. Adding it to ramen brings out the flavor even more, allowing you to enjoy a new Ichiran deliciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unique name “Oskaran” expresses the fact that it is Ichiran’s original sour seasoning with a unique flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fbThe combination with umami is well-balanced, so you can enjoy it even if you don’t like acidity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fbA magical topping that allows you to enjoy Ichiran’s ramen twice in one bowl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u30fbSeasoning that allows you to enjoy changing the taste of tonkotsu soup<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

I see, it’s a seasoning that changes the taste in a nice way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s try it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The star of this article is the small vessel in the upper right corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me, it’s a standard topping of green onion, pork belly, and boiled egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It contains a decent amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also tried just tasting the aroma, but it was so sour that I almost coughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a seasoning, or rather, it smells so strong that it looks like it’s been expired for a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For now, it’s just a taste. Try pouring a little bit into the soup scooped into a spoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just before I put it in my mouth, I felt a very pungent odor. It’s like undiluted vinegar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It smells like the concentration of Kobae Hoi Hoi has been increased several times over, and it smells so powerfully medicinal that I think it’s actually past its expiration date in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the end, I didn’t like the drastic change in taste, so I decided to pour in the entire amount when I was practically at the last cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was just tonkotsu ramen, but now it’s something completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s nice and refreshing, and for some reason, it’s easy to eat with chopsticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even though I would normally leave the soup behind, I was able to continue drinking the soup without getting bored or having an upset stomach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The soup’s richness and sourness go well together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can enjoy it as something completely different than tonkotsu ramen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My overall impression is that I won’t be repeating this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is because it changes the taste of the original tonkotsu soup into something completely different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I were to pay 130 yen for this, I would like to add green onions and seaweed<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
