It had been a while since I tried any new miso ramen spots, and with a semi-new spot (June, 2016) just a couple stations from my home, I had to check out Menya Yu.
A miso blend straight from Tokushima Prefecture. Made from soy beans, rice, and salt, this particular miso has a long history dating back to the Heian Period (roughly 1000 years ago). It is known for having a slight sweetness and deep flavor.
They were named one of the best new miso ramen shops in 2016, which is always a bonus.
Miso, among all the styles of ramen, is the one I am most critical of.
Yu delivers. It's a rough, flavorful bowl with a big, salty miso hit. Just a hint of negi onions to mellow it out.
They do a spicy miso as well, which was very spicy.
