About this place
A clear yet savory salt-based broth packed with the condensed sweetness of pork, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, and garlic forms the centerpiece at Mennosuke in Ningyocho. While maintaining the crisp, refreshing outline of a salt broth, the soup gains depth from the natural sugar of stir-fried vegetables and a potent garlic punch. A dollop of spicy sauce rests in the center of the bowl, allowing diners to select their preferred heat from none or mild up to spicy level 5, stirring it in gradually to transform the flavor as the meal progresses.
Those craving a heartier serving can opt for extra vegetables, extra meat, or the combination "vegetable and meat extra ramen." The pairing of delicate thin noodles and flavorful soup can also be customized with toppings such as spring onion, raw garlic, butter, or raw egg, letting you tailor the bowl to your taste on any given day.
The supporting side dishes are just as rewarding. Fragrant fried rice, available in full or half portions, harmonizes nicely with the savory salt broth for a classic back-and-forth rhythm. Crispy pan-fried gyoza and set menus with rice are also available, making for satisfying lunches and dinners.
A counter-focused layout creates an easy, approachable atmosphere for solo diners dropping in for a quick meal. Spanning daytime and evening services, the drinks list includes Gifu local sake Michisakari, beer, and sour cocktails, easily accommodating a leisurely routine of drinks and gyoza before finishing with ramen.
