Menkui-Tei

We tested out our new 10 minute lunch walking radius using Menkui-Tei as the outside far limit of our walking range. It took us 16 minutes from door to ramen. It's hard to find good ramen within the radius but Menkui-Tei is worth the extra 6 minutes, especially the yakibuta negi ramen. Yakibuta generally refers to any sort of roast pork, Menkui-tei's is particularly fatty and delicious. The house bowl of ramen usually comes with the Japanese version of Chinese char-siu, barbecued pork.
