A New Era for Cold Noodles: Non-Spicy Golden Beef Bone Soup

Starting in October, Tokyo Reimen in Akihabara and Okachimachi will introduce an exciting new option: the non-spicy Golden Beef Bone Soup. This addition aims to cater to those who prefer milder flavors, allowing even children and spice-averse diners to indulge in the rich experience of cold noodles.

The broth features the deep umami derived from simmered beef bones for extended periods, combined with the sweetness of vegetables, creating a smooth and gentle flavor profile. For just an additional 100 yen, guests can swap the traditional spicy broth for this comforting non-spicy alternative.

A Step Towards Inclusivity

Historically, Tokyo Reimen has been known for its signature spicy cold soups. However, the decision to broaden the menu was influenced by customer feedback indicating a demand for options that cater to those not fond of spice. The goal is clear: to make Tokyo Reimen's offerings accessible to an even wider audience.

Features of the Golden Beef Bone Soup

1. Rich Umami: Crafted from carefully simmered beef bones, resulting in a flavorful, rich broth.
2. Gentle Character: Infused with the natural sweetness of vegetables, it ensures a soothing taste.
3. Smooth Texture: The signature richness of a white soup allows for a comforting mouthfeel.
4. Kid-Friendly: As it boasts zero spiciness, parents can confidently serve it to their children without worry.

This dual-option approach encourages diners to mix and match, allowing families and groups to sample both spicy and non-spicy offerings. It also enhances the dining experience in the bustling Tokyo area, where visitors can choose based on personal preferences or those of their companions.

Holiday Announcement and Temporary Closure

As part of their operational changes, Tokyo Reimen will observe a temporary closure on September 22 (Monday) to accommodate a holiday adjustment, resulting in a long weekend from September 20 (Saturday) to September 23 (Tuesday). This closure supports staff well-being while maintaining the high service quality that customers expect.

Despite this break, the restaurant has been actively serving its usual fare throughout the holiday period, ensuring that staff can rest adequately going forward.

A Bright Future Awaits

As of October, Tokyo Reimen will officially roll out the non-spicy Golden Beef Bone Soup, marking an innovative twist in their cold noodle offerings that champions both tradition and modern culinary needs. Expect to see a delightful range of dishes on their menu, including:

• - Sichuan-style Spicy Tan Tan Cold Noodles
• - Soy Milk Tan Tan Cold Noodles
• - Grated Yam Cold Noodles

Before placing an order, customers are advised that the noodle texture is somewhat tough due to being sourced directly from Morioka, chilled in ice water. This characteristic adds a distinct chewiness compared to standard Chinese noodles. Moreover, the standard broth has a slight spiciness due to the addition of chili and spices, so those with sensitivity should take heed.
