Prepare your taste buds for an intensified spicy experience. Even at level 1, the soup packs a punch that surpasses its counterparts in Japan or Singapore. The tantalizing spiciness lingers, leaving a burning aftertaste that ignites the senses. While the soup offers savory spiciness, the iconic nuttiness of karaka-men seems to be absent, despite the presence of crushed peanut toppings that hint at its potential.

Experience a flavor journey like no other with the Ikkousha soup. The initial hint of bitterness gives way to an explosion of irresistible sweetness and the robust essence of pork. Allow the lingering garlicky aroma to dance on your palate, creating a memorable aftertaste. The long hours of cooking result in a soup that coats your lips with a tantalizing residue of emulsified fat.

The soup in this dish is characterized by its thin and oily consistency. The tare or sauce used is a combination of black garlic and oil, which imparts a noticeable garlic aroma. However, the taste is marred by an overpowering bitterness. Unfortunately, the richness of the broth is overshadowed by the flat oiliness and the strong bitterness resulting from the burnt garlic oil.
