Many of yall mentioned to check out Ramen 512 in Austin, TX, when I posted about Ramen Tatsuya. My wife was in the area of Ramen 512 so I asked her to get me the Classic Shoyu and Classic Tonkotsu to go. Being that I had the Ramen to go, I'm sure it doesnt reflect the flavor of the Ramen eaten fresh.
1/2: Classic Shoyu Ramen
Nice smooth chintan broth (I believe its chicken and pork). The shoyu tare added nice sodium and complexity. Yep, this is the flavor of ur usual old school Tokyo shoyu ramen. This bowl though had more acidity flavors toward the end, which adds a nice balance. They use the thin noodles and not the wavy Tokyo noodles, which still worked well. Rating: 3.8/5 (with the understanding that it was eaten to go).
2/2: Classic Tonkotsu Ramen
A nicely seasoned tonkotsu broth (shio tare). Nice umami porky flavor, and not underseasoned or overly salty. Simply perfectly flavored. The broth is milky, but not as thick as Ramen Tatsuya (not a bad thing). Thin noodles that use classically paired with this kind of tonkotsu. Rating: 4/5 (with the understanding that it was eaten to go).
