Burari — Restaurant in Tokyo

Really yummy! This is our 5th time in Tokyo. We came back to Mensho Burari 3x during this particular 10day stay. We’ve tried all three noodle options at Mensho Burari - as well as the gyoza.

The gyoza is decent but the highlight for us was the lighter, clearer soba noodle. I usually prefer pork based ramen or pork/chicken blend ramens which are NOT heavy in chicken taste or smell. The soba was a perfect choice and we had to return to enjoy it again.

The tsukemen and original chicken ramen broths are thicker, creamier in appearance and texture. The tsukemen and original chicken ramen are popular and will occasionally sell out by early evening so plan accordingly.

This is a quiet, little, tucked away shop - service is very quick and table turnover is quick as well. They also received a Michelin Star in...

닛포리에 살던 시절 자주 가던 라멘집으로, 지금도 닛포리를 지나게 되면 종종 들르는 단골 가게입니다. 닭육수 베이스의 라멘이라 개인적으로 취향에 딱 맞았고, 국물 맛이 깔끔하면서도 깊은 감칠맛이 있어 밥을 말아 먹기에도 정말 좋은 스타일이었습니다. 면발은 꼬들하고 탄력이 있어서 식감이 좋았고, 차슈도 잡내 없이 부드럽고 맛있어서 전체적으로 완성도 높은 한 그릇이라는 인상을 받았습니다.

미슐랭 가이드에 한 번 소개된 적이 있다고 들었는데, 그만큼의 특별한 맛이 있긴 하지만 일부러 멀리서 찾아가기에는 약간 아쉬움이 남을 수도 있는 위치와 규모입니다. 다만, 나리타 공항 이용 때문에 닛포리를 지나게 되는 분이라면 시간 맞춰 한 끼 들르기에 충분히 가치가 있는 가게라고 생각합니다.

예전에는 한국인 손님은 거의 없었던 기억인데, 요즘은 꽤 많이 방문하는지 메뉴판에 한국어가 추가되어 있어 놀랐습니다. 먹으면서 계속 김치가 생각났는데, 한국인 손님이 이 정도로 늘었으면 김치도 사이드로 추가해주면 정말 좋겠다는 생각을 했어요. 진심으로요. ㅠㅠ

닭육수 라멘 좋아하시는 분들이라면 꼭 한 번 들러보시기를 추천드립니다. 특히 밥까지 말아 먹는 스타일 좋아하신다면 더더욱!

日暮里に住んでいた頃によく通っていたラーメン屋さんで、今でも成田空港を利用する際に日暮里を通ると、つい立ち寄ってしまいます。

鶏ベースのスープが個人的にとても好みで、あっさりしつつも旨味がしっかり感じられ、ご飯を入れて食べたくなる味でした。 麺はコシがあり、チャーシューも柔らかくて風味が良く、全体的に完成度の高い一杯だと思います。

ミシュランガイドに掲載されたことがあるそうですが、1回きりだったようです。 わざわざ遠くから食べに行くには少し物足りなさを感じるかもしれませんが、成田空港を利用するついでに日暮里を通る方にはぜひおすすめしたいお店です。

以前は韓国人の方を見かけることはほとんどなかったのですが、最近は訪れる人が増えたようで、メニューに韓国語表記が追加されていたのには驚きました。 食べているとどうしてもキムチが恋しくなってしまいます。韓国からのお客さんがこれだけ多いなら、ぜひキムチをトッピングで追加してほしい…本気でそう思いました（笑）

鶏白湯系やあっさり系のラーメンが好きな方、ご飯と一緒に食べるのが好きな方には特におすすめです。

This is a ramen shop I used to visit often when I lived in Nippori, and even now, I make a point to stop by whenever I’m passing through the area on my way to Narita Airport.

The chicken-based broth is exactly my type — light yet full of umami, and perfect for mixing with rice. The noodles have a nice, springy texture, and the chashu is tender and flavorful. Overall, it's a well-balanced and satisfying bowl of ramen.

I heard it was featured in the Michelin Guide once, though it seems it was only that one time. It may not feel like a place worth traveling long distances for, but if you're already in Nippori — especially if you're heading to or from Narita — I highly recommend giving it a try.

Back when I first started going, I rarely saw any Korean customers. But these days, it seems to have become popular among Korean travelers — I was surprised to see that the menu now includes Korean translations! While eating, I couldn't help but crave some kimchi… Honestly, with so many Korean visitors now, I hope they'll consider adding kimchi as a topping option. Please, seriously!

If you enjoy chicken-based ramen or like finishing your bowl with rice, this place is definitely worth...

Tucked away in a back street near the station, is this small ramen shop, and on arriving here just after 7PM on a weekend, I was immediately seated, with a glass of water already placed at my intended table, after buying and passing over my meal ticket. I was hoping to order gyoza to accompany my tori-soba, but apparently they've indefinitely taken it off the menu, so I made do with an ajitsuke-tamago. The noodles were good, although I prefer mine slightly harder with a bit more chew. The egg was OK, I've had better, and I'm not so keen on how gel-like the yolk had become. The highlight is definitely the clear broth, not oily, nor busy or too strong, just pure, flavorful, chickeny...
