むぎとオリーブ (Mugitooribu in Ginza)

Mugitooribu is a new clam ramen shop in Tokyo, located in Ginza. Initially skeptical, it is a perfection with many amazing points, including the clams. The signature dish is the mazemen, which is made with noodles and an egg from a famous Kyoto noodle maker. The real draw is the triple soup, which consists of chicken broth, niboshi broth, and clam broth, tied together with a deep shoyu tare. The menu includes clams, chicken chashu, fish cake knot, and...

The name 'Mugi to Olive' refers to wheat and olive oil. When the shop first opened they encouraged customers to add olive oil to your ramen midway through your bowl. A second branch is located in Kanda, 15 seats at the Ginza flagship. Open since February 2014, renewal opening on May 27th, 2023. @mugiolive Less

Lunch at Mugi to Olive

Hamaguri calm shyo ramen. This place stands out as it gives you the option to add olive oil to your soup. It is astonishing but it really works.

Ps: the presentation is very good and quite artistic. My messy photo is due to me greedily starting eating before I made a picture.

Ramen at Mugi To Olive (むぎとオリーブ)

Recommended bowl: Shoyu + olive oil?

Mugi to Olive's name comes from its curious but delicious use of olive oil ('Mugi To Olive' means Wheat and Olive Oil). Once you've eaten about half your bowl, it's recommended that you grab one of the bottles of olive oil sitting on the counter and add a generous splash to your noodles. The virgin oil harmonizes surprisingly well with the soup, while also altering the flavor profile and taste associations of the dish – a commendable innovation.

Once you've eaten about half your bowl, it's recommended that you grab one of the bottles of olive oil sitting on the counter and add a generous splash to your noodles. The virgin oil harmonizes surprisingly well with the soup, while also altering the flavor profile and taste associations of the dish – a commendable innovation.

The menu here is made up of three types of shoyu soup: one made with niboshi, one with hamaguri clams and another with chicken. Ramen is available in any of these varieties, or you can order a "triple soba" option that comes with a mix of all three. The noodles come from Teigaku, a top noodle producer from Kyoto. The presentation is quite gourmet.

Aside from the ramen, Mugi To's maze-soba also has a cult following. Maze-soba is ramen served with no soup. Typically, thick noodles are served over a bed of toppings, spices and a condensed sauce, which you mix up yourself, almost as if you're saucing a pasta. Here you're encouraged to add olive oil. Again, interesting, innovative and surprisingly tasty. Since 2014. Less
