The key to enjoying delicious noodles is the mentsuyu, <\/em>the noodle broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TumuLab’s noodle sauce is filled with the passion of its developer, Chie Tsumura, the Managing Director of Tsumura Noodle Factory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A look back on the development of mentsuyu <\/em>over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret is “o-dashi”. Made exclusively for Tsumura Noodle Factory’s noodles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When we decided to open TumuLab, the most difficult thing we had to do was make the noodle broth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company’s long process of making mentsuyu <\/em>began with the underlying thought, “We want people to enjoy the noodle and most delicious broth that our president and employees work so hard to make.<\/strong>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step was to find the proportions to blend the base stock.
I have always been interested in dashi <\/em>stock itself, and in 2018 I obtained the qualification of a “dashi sommelier.” I consulted the instructor I met there, Kazumoto Momoi, president of Nagami Co., Ltd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I told Mr. Momoi that I was going to use hiyamugi <\/em>as the main ingredient at the store, he advised me, “You should definitely include mackerel,” and he made dozens of prototype soup stocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is a lot of kelp in the soup stock, it will taste fishy, \u200b\u200band the taste can really change depending on the ingredients used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the end, this dashi <\/em>was created. It has a blend of bonito flakes, mackerel flakes, kelp, and dried sardines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among those ingredients, we identified the blend with the best balance of dashi <\/em>flavor and decided to use these without any chemical seasonings or salt; we created an original dashi <\/em>that only goes well with Tsumura Noodle Factory’s noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This product is also sold in stores and online.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the dashi we use at our store, we have large commercial-grade dashi <\/em>packs made for us, and each time we make a large amount of dashi <\/em>in a stockpot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Japanese tradition flavor of \u201csoy sauce and mirin\u201d enhances the delicious taste<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Of course, you can’t make delicious mentsuyu <\/em>just by being particular about the stock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most difficult part was making soy sauce, which I tried many times by buying it from a store that stocked carefully selected seasonings and by directly calling breweries all over the country and asking them to send me samples. After searching all over the country, I decided on Marushima Soy Sauce’s “Shodoshima Soy Sauce.” We use mirin from Hakusen Sake Brewery in Gifu Prefecture, which is recommended by Tomi Sasaki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tomi is currently a food advisor in Okito Town, Hokkaido. They have appeared on NHK Professional Work Style, and are a celebrity who created a culture that is said to be the best school lunch in Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This mirin has no unnecessary ingredients, giving the stock a crisp and clean flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It was worth the time it took to develop it. This “comeback”, which was a difficult task, but with much effort was successfully completed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have all the ingredients, it’s time to start making the mentsuyu<\/em>. This is the process of determining the proportions of seasonings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although I nearly gave up on this task multiple times, I held onto the salt meter for six months. The current mentsuyu <\/em>is the result of experimenting every day to find out which concentration is the most delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without making any compromises or worrying about cost, I relentlessly continued to pursue delicious food. When it was finally perfected, I was very happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every day I hear from customers that it’s delicious, so I am really glad that I took the time to develop it and didn’t compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, this mentsuyu <\/em>is further modified when eaten with cold hiyamugi<\/em>. By doing so, it turns into a mentsuyu <\/em>that easily gets mixed in with the noodles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The noodles are delicious, but please try it together with the mentsuyu <\/em>at TumuLab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
