About

Menya Navi is a ramen shop that has headquarters in Nagoya, Takahata with branches all over Japan. Many media outlets have said the Ramen at Menya Hanabi is superb. The outside of this Ramen shop is decorated like a box of firecrackers, but the real fireworks take place in the kitchen. Make your selection at the ticket machine and take your place at the brightly-lit L-shaped counter for a bowl of Maze-Soba (soupless Ramen, ¥780) topped with raw egg yolk, a spicy mince of pork and beef, spring onions, matchsticks of nori, powdered dried fish, and chopped raw garlic (set the latter ingredient aside unless you're dating a vampire later). The many custom versions include an additional Chashu Pork topping, but we found enough meat in the standard version. Stir up the nicely textured wheat noodles to a glorious mix and eat your fill. The queue attests to the popularity of this branch of a shop that started life in Nagoya; arrive before the opening time of 6pm, or be prepared to stand in line for half an hour.
