✨【The Story of Fermentation, Part 10】The #1 Most Popular Topping at 59 Ramen & Curry! Did You Know This Is Also “The Science of Fermentation”? 🧀🔥
The series “The Story of Fermentation” has reached Part 10, the final episode!
After telling the stories of miso, shoyu, katsuobushi (dried bonito), and even organic pineapple vinegar, today we’d like to introduce one more star that may surprise a lot of you.
Let us ask you:
“What do you think is the #1 most popular topping at 59 Ramen & Curry?”
Pickled vegetables? A boiled egg? Some other side dish?
The answer is… our all-time number one is cheese! 🧀✨
💡 Why do curry and ramen call for cheese?
Many customers, especially fans of our rich curry soup or bold ramen, always say, “Extra cheese, please!”
Some might think, “Isn’t curry with cheese just a junk-food combo?”
But in truth, this is a natural pairing of two fermented foods: fermented food × fermented food!
Cheese is one of the oldest fermented foods in the world, made through the power of microorganisms such as Lactobacillus. As milk is slowly aged with enzymes and microbes, its proteins break down into a huge amount of “glutamic acid” (the compound behind umami)!
When the umami of cheese blends with the mellow depth of ramen broth and curry, the deliciousness multiplies in your mouth. That’s why once you try it, you can’t stop.
Our commitment: 100% genuine natural cheese imported from Australia
And this is what we most want to share.
Even though it’s “just a topping,” we never compromise on quality.
There are plenty of “processed cheeses” on the market (cheese blended with vegetable oils and additives so it melts easily), but the original aroma, texture, and benefits of fermented food are often lost…
That’s why at 59 Ramen & Curry, we select only genuine natural cheese from Australia!
Made from high-quality cow’s milk from cattle raised in pure, natural surroundings, it releases a soft, mellow aroma when it meets hot curry or soup, melting into a gooey, silky stretch. Torch it until it’s lightly charred and fragrant, and all we can say is: pure bliss!
It’s about taking the flavor up another level, making it even more well-rounded!
