My second time at this quaint little ramen bar at International Plaza (Brothers isn't the only one) with very limited seats — the situation isn't very favourable. A #Michelin Bib Gourmand in Kobe, this is a hidden gem that I wish could survive.

Their 𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗲𝗻's ($17.90) boisterous peanut-forward sauce was just a tidal wave of aroma and umami; perhaps too strong but splashes of dashi broth and vinegar tamed the boldness. The ensemble of condiments and ingredients allowed some complexity to peek through, especially with pleasant scores of onion sharpness and pickle acidity.

A myriad of ingredients added fun textures to the sauce's natural thickness, which was also easily manipulated through broth. A fun bowl of ramen, but my heart still lies with their light and elegant dashi broth ramen.
