Teuchi Ren: Crafting Ramen Excellence in the Heart of Tokyo
In the heart of Sumida Ward, Tokyo, Teuchi Ren burst onto the ramen scene in December 2022, showcasing a dedication to the craft of handcrafted noodles. Beyond merely a place to eat, Teuchi Ren unfolds a narrative of commitment and authenticity through its noodle-making process, all guided by the principle of “teuchi.”
Teuchi Ren’s charm lies in the meticulous crafting of its in-house noodles. Using “Mochihime” wheat flour, artisans pay homage to tradition, meticulously balancing water and salt, perfecting kneading, resting, and cutting. The result is noodles that surpass the ordinary, with a resilient texture that seamlessly blends with the flavorful broth.
Speaking of broth, Teuchi Ren offers two distinct varieties: soy sauce and salt. The soy sauce version is a rich blend of Rishiri kombu, dried seafood, and broths from chicken and pork bones. The salt version is a nuanced mix of chicken and seafood essence with carefully controlled salt seasoning. Together, they create a dining experience with a rich taste and umami that complements the noodles.
Teuchi Ren adorns its creations with seared chashu, wontons, flavored eggs, bamboo shoots, green onions, and seaweed. Picture the seared chashu, slow-cooked to perfection, with a delightful crispiness. The flavored egg adds a decadent touch with its semi-cooked, rich yolk, enhancing the overall experience. The seaweed contributes a fragrant essence, enhancing both aroma and visual appeal.
Teuchi Ren crafts its unique noodles in-house, creating a new flavor profile by blending tradition with soy sauce and salt-infused broths. The carefully chosen toppings showcase the establishment’s commitment to enhancing the appeal of ramen. Teuchi Ren is not just a place; it’s a canvas expanding the possibilities of ramen. Conveniently located, just a 6-minute walk from Morishita Station and an 8-minute walk from Ryogoku Station, Teuchi Ren invites ramen enthusiasts to embark on an exquisite culinary journey.
