醤油 / Shoyu / Men Mitsuwi — Asakusa, Tokyo

Shoyu soup is carefully made from whole chickens, combined with seafood stock and chicken oil. Three types of raw soy sauce go into the shoyu tare, no msg or additives. Housemade noodles contain a unique blend of flours (and whole wheat) from Hokkaido. Pork belly chashu is roasted on a burner, while pork loin chashu is cooked at a low temperature and resembles ham. Other toppings feature thick menma, lotus root and negi. Katsudon (with housemade sauce) on the side.

Master Yoichi Murata-san trained at the well known Tokyo ramen shop Shichisai, which has a menu inspired by Kitakata style ramen. It was there that he perfected the art of noodle-making. Men Mitsuwi originally opened in 2016 before closing briefly (in 2022) and moving to a newer location nearby. 10 seats. Since April 19th, 2023 @men.mitsuwi
