Menya Yu

One nice thing about ramen shops that stick around for a while is that people who have been working at those shops for a while go and start their own shops. Such is the case with Menya Yu, opened by a former employee of Menya Taku. Just like Taku they focus on mixed soups, so I ordered the chicken seafood pork ramen with an egg.

長くあるラーメン屋さんの影響で、似ている店が出てきます。終業した人がよく独立して店を開きます。今回麺屋拓で終業した人で麺や佑ができました。拓と一緒でダブルスープをやっていて、鶏魚豚ラーメンを頼みました。

The Bowl
And a lot like Taku it was. The broth was a syrupy clear-brown, thick with fish and an unusual mixture of pork and chicken. It didn't have quite the same perfect balance that Taku did, but it was good none the less, with firm noodles, some medium slices of chashu, and a creamy and slightly cool egg.

やっぱり拓に似ていました。スープは半透明茶色で、魚介の味が強くて、とろみがありました。拓みたいなジャストバランスは聞いていませんでしたけど、うまくて、硬めの麺、クリーミーなひんやり的な幸せでした。

Would I Go Again?
I'm not in a rush, but I would stop in again

またいつか行こうかな。

Should You Go?
I would recommend it for fans who have already been to Taku.

もし拓が好きなら、お勧めします。
