"MENYA OKIBI" is located in the wellness zone in Tokugyo, Kofu City. With a stylish exterior that at first glance would not make you think it is a ramen shop, it just opened on November 2024, 11.

The logo is cute and it looks like a cafe. The menu has two types of noodles, kombu water tsukemen and chicken ramen, each of which comes in salt and soy sauce.

As soon as I went inside, I was greeted by a stylish atmosphere that reminded me of a parfait! The system involved buying food tickets from a ticket machine right at the entrance.

The concept of this ramen shop is "a ramen shop that even women can casually enter alone with a cafe-like feel," and the "Special Kombu Water Tsukemen (Salt)" that I ordered today was just too delicious!

"First, eat the noodles without any dipping sauce" → "Then sprinkle a small amount of seaweed salt on the table" I followed the instructions and started eating. The rich, chewy noodles were mixed with the delicious flavor of the smooth kelp water, and I couldn't stop eating. The mild flavor of the high-quality seaweed salt, which is natural, gently enveloped the noodles, which are made with roasted wheat germ.

I nearly forgot to dip it in the salt soup while eating... But! The salt soup was also exceptional. The base soup is made from ground chicken and is blended with clam stock to create a rich, full-bodied flavor.

You can also add lemon or black shichimi to the noodles and dipping sauce to your liking. The set includes two types of pork slices: pork shoulder roast slowly roasted in a hanging oven and chicken breast cooked at low temperature in a vacuum. They are moist and tender, and melt in your mouth.

The shiny egg yolk is crushed as you eat it, and the roast pork rice topped with egg yolk is a perfect harmony that will have you hooked.

The extremely thin chicken soy sauce ramen has a different flavor from the salt ramen. It is made by heating several carefully selected types of raw soy sauce, which brings out the sweetness of the soy sauce. I'll definitely try this next time!
