Hentai Kamen / 変態仮麺

Special collaborated ramen "Hentai Kamen" at Gachi /
GACHIのコラボ麺 「変態仮麺」

A movie called "Hentai Kamen," which literally means "Pervert Mask," came out on April 13, 2013.
According to some sites, "Hentai Kamen" is a hero who gets a demonic force once he puts on a women's underwear (I know you thought, "WT*!?").

Tsukemen Gachi collaborated with the movie and has started serving "Hentai Kamen Ramen (変態仮麺)" for a month starting from April 12.
The Ramen looks like the hero, who wears female's underwear on his face.
And they only have 10 bowls each from 11:00AM and 6:00PM.

When we went in, I asked if they still had stock and they said yes.
I used a vending machine and bought a ticket, then mentioned I wanted to have Hentai Kamen, collaborated ramen.
The ticket machine doesn't say "Hentai Kamen" there and I needed to press one of the buttons and mention I want the special ramen, which was written on a board outside and also inside.

"Limited! Hentai Kamen"

If you want this...

plesae choose "Tori Sio Tsukemen (normal) from the vending machine.

The price is 790JPY, as same as Tori Sio Tsukemen (normal), means chicken salt tsukemen.

Once I set my order, I heard they're using mixer. 
I could imagine that white part (panty) is meringue.

Maybe about 10 minutes later after ordering, a waiter brought it to me saying, "Please enjoy!" with a smile.

Taddaaaaaaa!!

This is what it was.

Eyebrows: seaweed
Eyes: eggs
Panty: egg white (meringue)

My problem is that lately I don't like egg yolk, so I just wanted to try the  white part of the eyes.
However, as my husband could handle them, I gave him 2 eyes.

Seaweed eyebrows were just regular seaweed; not seasoned and plain ones.

I scooped the finely whipped meringue-panty and ate it to check what it's like.
It had NO flavor and was just a plain egg white, which was a bit awkward.

You can see that the form was put pretty high.

Had the soup and it was really thick soup as if it's for Tsukemen, which is a different type ramen which they serve you noodle and soup separately.
I might have written that I'm not big fan of Tsukemen, so it was a kind of torture to enjoy the soup to be honest.

The noodle was pretty thick, hard, and chewy.

As half of the bowl is covered by the white form, every time I dunked spoon or chopsticks to grab noodle or toppings, pretty much everything was coming with meringue surrounding the items.

I was wondering why the soft meringue could stay like that over a hot soup and noodle.
Underneath, there're char siu (here they use chicken, and it's thigh meat) at the forehead,  mianma (bamboo shoot) was shaping the curvy lines, and deep-fried bean curd at the chin.

Inside of the bean curd pocket, there're 2 egg yolks covered with sesame seeds.
I'm sure this 2 egg yolk balls imply testicles.

They use thigh meat but it's seasoned well and didn't smell that bad.
It had skins and some flabby fat part, so I left them in the soup as I tend to separate them before eating.

So far, I mentioned this ramen's soup was as thick as tsukemen and also the noodles was as thick as tsukemen, that is not my favorite style of ramen.
I wish I could choose regular ramen soup and noodle, which was thinner and skinnier.
If you're one of those who likes limited things, you'd enjoy taking photos and some noodles in a famous gay district in Shinjuku.

You can buy this on internet while supply lasts and cook at home.
