Hakone, Kanagawa, Japan｜Mensho Sai

This place is delicious! It's a must! Perhaps a lil hole in the wall to get away from the crowd. The draft beer is huge!!

Among the best ramen I ever eaten in Japan. Had the shio ramen and was really amazed! Note that the broth has a strong fish flavor. If your not in to that, another place might be better for you.

2023.9.9 Visited the store for the first time today with my wife. I ordered the sea bream ramen set, and my wife ordered the sea bream ramen with soy sauce. Wait about 5 minutes for the item to arrive. Attached beauty visual⭐︎. Eat slowly. …umm. Delicious. This extremely light salt soup without the slightest unpleasant taste is an exquisite masterpiece⭐︎ extracted from high-quality kelp and sea bream. Yes, rather than ramen soup, it's more like a Japanese kaiseki soup served at a Japanese restaurant. It's a luxury to have this delicate soup with ramen. Substitute menma with roasted bamboo shoots, and subtly but firmly present shredded wooden ears and zucchini, mizuna, small green onions, and white sesame seeds that rise and fall like flower rafts on the surface of the clear soup. And the thin, low-hydration noodles that make this bowl of ramen taste like ramen are the result of considerable research. After eating the ramen, put perfectly cooked rice balls in the soup, spread them with condiments and yuzu pepper, and enjoy the indescribable feeling of happiness. When I give half of a grilled rice ball to my wife and get a spoonful of it mixed with soy sauce soup, it has a much stronger ramen flavor that is different from salt. It will be even more delicious if you use tabletop black pepper instead of yuzu pepper. ...Well, it was delicious. It was a feast. I'll be back again⭐︎.
