Pictured: Tokyo Ramen - Wheat noodles, pork and chicken broth, sliced pork, hard-boiled egg, and fish cake
Midori’s Floating World Cafe is worth a visit whether you’re in the mood for sushi or a mouth watering bowl of ramen. The two best ingredients in this bowl of ramen are the noodles and the broth! On the menu, the broth is described as pork and chicken based, but there was an intense mushroom flavor at the first slurp. This was likely from the shiitake mushroom slices because they were prepped with a sweet, salty marinade. The thin wheat noodles were also cooked to perfection and the texture was enjoyable to slurp. The chef was reluctant to reveal that the noodles are not made on-site but purchased from a Tokyo based company. The pork slices were unremarkable (thin and dry) as with the hard-boiled egg. A great find in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis!
