Essentially a ramen with charmingly short noodles, chicken and pork minced meat and a Michelin-starred tonkotsu/amaebi broth which possesses magical powers of heat retention. The ramen is served with a 20ml shot of ebi oil-infused Yamazaki whisky, and once the whisky is added into the broth you get a wondrously fragrant creation which instantly introduces orbs of tingling, comforting warmth to every crevice in your body, with each mouthful of piping hot broth treating you not just to its prawn-heavy umami but also some major vaporously up-your-nose whisky joy. Outrageously good. 4/5
