Ajishin's menu offers a delightful fusion of traditional Japanese flavors with a modern twist. As a reviewer, I can't help but be impressed by the variety and depth of choices that cater to both lovers of hot and cold noodle dishes, as well as those who appreciate fresh, high-quality seafood.
Starting with the Udon selection, there are some standout dishes. The Kiyomizu Udon offers a rich, comforting broth, perfect for those craving a warm, hearty meal. If you're in the mood for something with a hint of sweetness, the Kangetsu Udon delivers a perfect balance of flavors. For a more delicate yet savory option, the OhharaHanami is beautifully presented and full of depth. Finally, Fushimi Udon is another favorite, offering a perfect harmony of umami that will leave you satisfied.
For those who prefer cold noodles, the Soba Noodles are a must-try. The Kitashirakawa Soba is light and refreshing, with a subtle hint of earthiness that pairs beautifully with the accompanying dipping sauce. Arashi Soba is slightly bolder, featuring a perfect balance of flavors that come together in a refreshing yet satisfying bite. Meanwhile, the Nishijin Soba offers a unique texture that elevates the traditional cold soba experience.
The Kyo Chirashi and Sashimi-toppings are a celebration of fresh, top-quality seafood. Whether you choose Shrimp, River Eel, or Sea Eel, each topping adds its own distinct flavor profile. The Crab and Salmon Roe are equally impressive, bursting with freshness and sweetness that complement the delicate rice beneath.
For those seeking something a little more indulgent, the Kyo Chirashi with Udon toppings like Sea Urchin brings an exceptional richness. And if you’re feeling adventurous, try the Kyo Chirashi Big Bowl options, featuring premium toppings like Tuna, Salmon Roe and Sea Urchin, or the dynamic pairing of River Eel and Sea Eel. These combinations are a true feast for both the eyes and the taste buds.
