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 Less
