Menkobo Usissi

Located in Sakae, Nagoya, this is a beef bone ramen shop specializing in wagyu and beef bones. It is the second brand of 'Shurakutei Kuuan', known as a famous duck broth restaurant in Midori Ward, and its signature dish is 'Wagyu Shio Ramen'. The soup, made from Kuroge Wagyu beef bones combined with Dounan Ma-kombu seaweed and Himi-produced dried sardines, is milky white and mellow, with a distinct richness and sweetness characteristic of beef, yet almost no unpleasant smell. It has a unique flavor that resembles both tori paitan (chicken broth) and tonkotsu (pork bone broth), and many say it's a bowl they've never tasted before. The thin, smooth, and chewy noodles, made with high hydration, lift the soup well, and toppings include tender shabu-shabu style wagyu, aromatic roast beef, and well-seasoned daikon radish and turnip. The biggest highlight is the fermented seasonings in syringe-shaped containers on the table, allowing you to enjoy changes in flavor by adding small amounts of several types, such as Aomori garlic x rice koji, onion x grape vinegar, and Mikuniyama green chili x hishio. Mazesoba (mixed noodles) and limited-time menus are also available, offering a different experience each time you visit.
