Ichimi Ann’s menu offers a delightful range of dishes, each offering a unique twist on classic Japanese flavors. As I dived into their selection, I was immediately drawn to their Simply Noodle options, which are perfect for those looking for a lighter yet satisfying meal. The Tanuki is a standout, with crispy tempura bits adding a satisfying crunch to the subtle, comforting noodle broth. If you prefer something cool and refreshing, the Zaru noodles are a great choice—served chilled with a dipping sauce that’s delicately balanced, allowing the fresh, chewy noodles to shine. The Kake noodle dish, on the other hand, offers a warm, soothing option with its lightly flavored broth that perfectly complements the noodles.
Moving on to more popular choices, the Umeshiso combines the tartness of ume plum with the refreshing taste of shiso leaves, creating a unique and vibrant flavor profile. The Mentai noodles, served with spicy cod roe, give a punchy kick that pairs wonderfully with the soft noodles. If you're after something even bolder, the Yuzu OroshiUnagi is a must-try, where the smoky richness of grilled eel meets the citrusy zing of yuzu, creating a truly memorable combination. The Kakiage is another fan favorite, a crispy tempura mix of vegetables that adds a delightful texture contrast to any dish.
For those looking for a more substantial meal, Ichimi Ann’s Special Combo section has irresistible options like the Pork Cutlet Bowl Zaru or Kake, where the crispy pork cutlet is paired with either chilled or warm noodles. Similarly, the Shrimp Tempura Bowl Zaru or Kake is a perfect choice for anyone craving the crunchy indulgence of shrimp tempura with their noodles. And if you’re a fan of tempura, the Tempura Combo offers two fantastic options—Ten Kake and Ten Zaru, each showcasing the delicate, crispy tempura in a way that highlights the freshness of the ingredients.
