Just yesterday i went to this place called Bari-Uma Ramen located at Lippo Mall Puri. Bari-Uma Ramen is originally came all the way from Hiroshima, Japan. In Indonesia it self, their first outlet is the one at Citywalk Sudirman, and the other outlet is at Setiabudi. Their Lippo Mall Puri outlet not too spacious but sure it's comfortable enough to sit and enjoy your soup of ramen. It can hold up to 50-60 people at the same time. Their interior got the ambience of japanese caligraphy and hanging light so it's not feel like the place is that small.


Bari-Uma is a little bit different with other ramen house. While others came with a modern taste and modern flavor, they keep it original and serving tradionally. But, i'm not going to talk about their ramen. I'm going to talk about their newest menu called Abura Soba.

Well, for some people might quite know about this Abura Soba dish. Abura Soba is sort of like soupless ramen, and taste identically like the soup one. So Bari-Uma having this Abura Soba menu from 1 October - 31 December. So, it's limited and it won't be last any longer. Their choice of Abura Soba menu are: Torotama Abura Soba (Pork), Torotama Abura Soba (Chicken), Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Pork), Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Chicken).



Torotama Abura Soba (Pork): IDR 64k
"Nori" Seaweed, "Torotama" Simmering Egg, "Shiraga Negi" White Spring Onion, "Kyuri" Japanese Cucumber, Home Made Chasiu and Ramen.




Torotama Abura Soba (Chicken): IDR 64k
"Nori" Seaweed, "Torotama" Simmering Egg, "Shiraga Negi" White Spring Onion, "Kyuri" Japanese Cucumber, Home Made Chicken, and Ramen.



So, i thought because their name is Abura Soba, so they will use a Soba noodle. Turns out i was wrong, they use a thin ramen noodle. Which is great because it's different with other Abura Soba places. This is the Original version of their Abura Soba. What they say is right, it taste really traditional and they really keep it simple with this dish. It's really good. Both Chicken and Pork meat is tender and juicy. Came with a big portion. I love how they cook their ramen, it's not too hard but not too soft. When all of them are mixing together, it's just makes a perfect Abura Soba. The waitress say you have to mix 10 times to have a perfect Soba on your own.

Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Pork): IDR 69k





Torotama Abura Kara Soba (Chicken): IDR 69k
"Nori" Seaweed, "Torotama" Simmering Egg, "Shiraga Negi" White Spring Onion, "Kyuri" Japanese Cucumber, Home Made Chicken, Kara Sauce, and Ramen.



So, the different between Torotama Abura Soba and Torotama Abura Kara Soba are while Torotama Abura Soba is using original flavor, Torotama Abura Kara Soba will give you a kick of spicy in your mouth. Because in Japan, Kara means spicy. I really love the kind of spicy their using here, it's really kicking your tastebud. But, i get overwhelmed when i ate this because it's too spicy. Don't judge me but i really, really, love spicy food. But after i get use to the spicy, it's became normal for me. Again, the portion they serve here is really big. Both Pork and Chicken meat is really tender and super juicy. Not too oily which is good, because it can makes your tongue feel greasy.

Overall, i really love thei Abura Soba here. It's different with what i usually ate at other places. You guys all need to give it a try for this Abura Soba because it really is super good!
