Shibuya's Italian Fusion Cheese Ramen: Due Italian

Due Italian (黄金の塩らぁ麺 ドゥエ イタリアン 渋谷) stands out in the competitive Shibuya ramen scene with dozens of ramen shops to choose from. The signature dish, Fromage Cheese Ramen, draws clear inspiration from Italian cuisine and is surely a novel experience for first-time visitors. The whole concept is quite unique in Japan's ramen scene. Not that fusion ramen aren't a thing, but Italian inspired and cheese ramen are definitely on the more rare side. The comparison to Spaghetti comes to mind when thinking about it, but does not fit Due Italian at all. The soup at Due Italian is a light and clear chicken shio ramen soup with some kombu and scallops in the background, but not very noticeable. The soup itself, with the drops of chicken oil floating on top, would be a quite solid bowl by itself, if it was served outside of the Italian fusion context. Of course, what jumps into everyone's eye right away is the two big blobs of cheese in the middle of the bowl. From pictures and at first glance I would have thought that it is mozzarella or a similar cheese. I was quite surprised to find out that it is rather something between cream cheese and processed cheese like cheese whiz. Due to the heat of the soup, it was already very molten and started to dissolve into the soup. I will be honest, the first 2 or 3 slurps were really nice and cheesy. The cheese completely coated the noodles. After that however, the cheese more or less completely dissolves into the soup, which turns it milky white. You still get a hint of cheese with each slurp, but the intense cheesiness is gone. The cured ham on the side is a quite nice break from the soup, but isn't really anything special. These days, you can buy similar ham everywhere in Tokyo for a reasonable price. As a finisher, you can get a free bowl of rice to drop into your leftover soup to make something reminiscent of a risotto. Just let the staff know that you are done with your noodles and they bring the rice out right away. If you don't feel confident enough for that, just wave the small rice ticket they give you towards the staff. For three consecutive years, Due Italian has caught the attention of the Michelin Guide, earning them a Bib Gourmand recommendation, although with their main shop in Ichigaya. For me personally, I don't think I would recommend Due Italian for people visiting Tokyo. But for locals, it might be an interesting and fresh take on ramen to try at least once. Interestingly, when I went, I basically only saw Japanese people eating there and many who looked like they are enjoying the Due Italian ramen bowls regularly.
