ネパル麺 / Nepal-men / Mizoguchiya — Higashi-Jūjō, Tokyo

Nepalese inspired Jiro style ramen starts with a base of tonkotsu-shoyu soup. Thick and curly housemade noodles contain flecks of Yume Botan brand Japanese whole wheat and Kodo millet, a grain popular in Nepal. Topped with pork chashu, back fat, bean sprouts, cabbage, coarsely ground masala, Mula Ko Achar (Nepalese pickled daikon), togarashi and various spices.

Mizoguchiya first opened in Nagoya in 2014, with the original shop moving to a new Nagoya location in April of 2023. This Higashi-Jūjō branch is the first and only company store located in Tokyo. While the Nagoya flagship serves Jiro style ramen only, a Nepalese staff working in Higashi-Jūjō influenced the creation of Nepal-men. Open since December 10th, 2023 @mizoguchiya.nishio
