NIWATEI ～丹羽亭～Ramen ラーメン @ JTown review

nice waiting space

Niwatei was introduced to me by a friend. It is located inside JTown. This is the ramen place which used to be located in the "back", currently they have moved in with 2 other restaurant/shop.

Nice environment

The environment is quite nice, reminds me of those cafeterias in Japan. It is clean, simple and quiet.

impressions:

• food is authentic
• environment 
• service is quite good

My friend and I decided to settle for their Tonkotsu Ramen + side + dessert set.

We each got different sides to share.

Mini Curry Rice

Curry

very authentic Japanese curry, (and like most authentic Japanese curry, this was very sweet). It was reasonably sized and quite tasty.

Steam Rice with Mixed Vegetable

This was very interesting and the name does not do it justice, it is not only steam rice and vegetables, it was nicely seasoned. It was very filling! I'm so glad my friend was there to eat this with me :)

Pork (Tonkotsu) Ramen

if you just want to try the ramen you can order it: Pork(Tonkotsu) Ramen とんこつ塩ラーメン $8.80

Yum! This ramen was good! It wasn't too salty and the egg was made right. This was a pork bone based noodle soup was very creamy. The soup base is very simple yet flavourful. Each bowl contains seaweed, 2 Japanese fish cakes, half runny eggs, several pieces of pork, sided with corn and onions.

The combination is perfect and very authentic.

strawberry shortcake

I chose Strawberry Shortcake (as it was their "dessert of the day") It was a very Authentic Japanese Strawberry Shortcake. The cake was very spongy and light. The whipped cream was very tasty, you can tell it was made from real cream, no substitutes.

House Special Dessert

My friend kept talking about it, he said that this was REALLY good, and yes, it was very good! 

This is a vanilla ice cream coated in a special citrus sauce. The sauce was bitter and sweet. It was very special, if you ever go to Niwatei, ask them if they have it!
