Matsumoto, Nagano, Japan｜Mensho Sakura

Amazing, thick, fragrant soup broth! I had number 1 of the menu. You can order from the vending machine by depositing the cash first. I came here just after 7pm and had zero queue and was promptly seated by the counter. It was just a 2 minutes walk to my hotel. English menu is available too. A hearty meal on a cold Matsumoto night! Love it!

Fantastic ramen spot with the perfect noodles. Thick enough to cling onto the tsukemen broth. The restaurant was busy with customers rotating in and out constantly but well worth the hustle and bustle because the bowls of ramen were plentiful, flavourful, and absolutely delicious. So glad to have tried this spot while in Matsumoto!

In my opinion, the best ramen in Matsumoto. So freaking delicious. The deluxe miso ramen with minced pork is so damn good! Every time I come back they have consistent flavor and presentation. The gyoza are solid also. Highly recommended.
