Feeling a little sniffly this evening, I thought I would pick up some take-out ramen from another place I have been dying to check out: Izakaya Sozai, on Irving at 16th Ave.
Well, they serve take-out but they don't serve take-out ramen. However, it seemed like a reasonable idea to post up at the bar and eat. I mean, I found parking in the Inner Sunset, so why not!
One bowl of tonkatsu ramen and one plate of tsukune skewers later, I was a happy girl. It was too much food but I found it impossible to pass over the yakitori section of the menu. The bite sized tsukune - or chicken meatballs - were grilled and then daintily brushed with a soy glaze. The ramen broth was rich but not overly so, and the noodles nicely chewy. The kitchen was busy sending out many tempting things I wasn't able to order: bacon wrapped enoki mushrooms, garlic sauteed shishito peppers, sake steamed clams, and agedashi tofu.
I can't wait to go back for another meal at Sozai. Next time, I'll surely go with a table of friends!
