Menya Smith — Restaurant in Tokyo

I'm thrilled to share my exceptional experience at Menya Smith, a small but mighty ramen shop in Tokyo that has left a lasting impression on my taste buds. As a ramen enthusiast, I've had the pleasure of trying various ramen shops in Tokyo, but Menya Smith truly stands out from the rest.

From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the cozy and intimate atmosphere of the shop. The decor is simple but elegant, with a touch of modernity that immediately sets the tone for a unique and exciting dining experience. The staff is friendly and welcoming, with a clear passion for ramen that's evident in every aspect of the shop.

The menu at Menya Smith is a masterclass in simplicity and focus. With only a handful of options to choose from, the shop is able to concentrate on perfecting each and every bowl of ramen that leaves the kitchen. The result is a culinary experience that's both familiar and innovative, with bold flavors and expertly crafted noodles that will leave even the most discerning ramen fans in awe.

I opted for the signature "Smith" ramen, which features a rich and savory tonkotsu broth, springy noodles, and a variety of toppings that add depth and complexity to the dish. The broth is a game-changer, with a rich, creamy texture that's both comforting and indulgent. The noodles are perfectly cooked, with just the right amount of firmness and chew. And the toppings - including slices of tender pork, boiled egg, and green onions - add a welcome burst of flavor and texture to the dish.

But what truly sets Menya Smith apart is its commitment to using only the highest-quality ingredients and traditional cooking techniques. The chef is a master of his craft, and his passion for ramen is evident in every aspect of the shop. From the carefully selected ingredients to the expertly crafted noodles, every detail is carefully considered to create a truly exceptional ramen experience.

One of the things that impressed me most about Menya Smith was its attention to detail and commitment to excellence. From the perfectly cooked noodles to the expertly balanced broth, every aspect of the dish is carefully crafted to create a truly exceptional ramen experience. The staff is knowledgeable and happy to answer questions, and the chef is always willing to accommodate special requests or dietary needs.

In addition to its exceptional food, Menya Smith is also a great value. The prices are reasonable and competitive with other high-end ramen shops in Tokyo, and the portion sizes are generous and filling.

Overall, I would highly recommend Menya Smith to anyone looking for a truly exceptional ramen experience in Tokyo. Whether you're a ramen enthusiast, a foodie, or just looking for a great meal, this shop is sure to impress.

どうも！つけりきです。 今日は青山一丁目にある「麺屋...

青山一丁目の路地裏のラーメン屋さん。 様々な飲食店がお店を構える、ウィン青山ビルの一角にあります。 水炊きからヒントを得た濃厚な鶏白湯ラーメンが名物となっており、連日お客さんで賑わう人気店です。

メニューは名物の水炊き醤油ラーメンに加え、つけ麺や汁なし混ぜそばなどがラインナップ。 券売機で食券を購入するシステムですが、食券はキャッシュレスのみの対応となっており、現金のお客さんは紙で注文する形式のようです。

この日は水炊き醤油ラーメンと替え玉、さらにお茶漬けセット（合計1,090円）をオーダーしました。

水炊きのアイデアを活かしたラーメンというコンセプトに惹かれ、楽しみにしながら初訪問しました。

夜のオープン後すぐに行ったので、待ちなしで入ることができ、オーダーから5分ほどでラーメンが到着。

まずはお店こだわりのスープから一口。 一般的な鶏白湯ラーメンと比べて旨味が長続きする特徴があり、鶏を丸ごと感じられるような味わいが素晴らしいです。 麺はやや硬めの細麺で、スープとの相性もしっかりと考えられています。

締めはお茶漬けセットをオーダーし、鶏出汁茶漬けの要領で食べすすめます。 お米を合わせると麺とはまた違った相乗効果が生まれ、より甘味が強く出る味わいに。 全体としてレベルの高いラーメンでした。

つけ麺も非常に気になるところです。 またお伺いしたいと思い...
