First mix together as it is.
When the noodles are brought to you, the first thing you need to do is mix the noodles! After the niku-miso (miso with ground meat), cucumber, and ginger are evenly spread over the noodles, take your first bite.
Add your own style with seasonings
Once you have eaten a little more, you are ready for the next phase. Feel free to change the flavor with any of the seasonings on the table! Vinegar, chili oil, and grated garlic are recommended for those first trying the noodles.
We recommend beni-shoga (red ginger)! It is also important to add more niku-miso as needed if you run out.
Once you have finished your noodles, move on to the next step.
Crack an egg and add it to the bowl
Finishing your noodles is not the end of your meal. There are also eggs on the table!
Take one egg and add it to the bowl! Mix it with the rest of the sauce. You can take an egg without asking the staff.
Enjoy some chitantan soup!
Once the egg is in, ask the waiter for chitantan soup. Chitantan means egg soup. The water used to boil the noodles is poured into the sauce and egg mixture, and it is the best way to end a bowl of jajamen noodles!
This is what the chitantan soup looks like. The warm soup is a great way to end the meal. Add some salt and pepper and you’ve got a great dish! Be sure to give it a try.
