[Nagasaki Lunch] First visit to "Sasaki Mennosuke," a popular restaurant in Hamamachi with long lines! I ate my fill of their exquisite kombu broth tsukemen, ramen, and seared meat sushi!
This time, I finally made my long-awaited first visit to Sasaki Mennosuke, a hugely popular restaurant in Hamamachi, Nagasaki City, which I've been curious about for a while and which was highly recommended by my X (formerly Twitter) followers who said, "You absolutely have to go!" 🎉
In conclusion, "This creative ramen shop offers incredibly satisfying ramen! The homemade noodles were absolutely perfect in terms of texture and mouthfeel.😆 There weren't any limited-time menu items this time, so I'd like to go back and try some of them next time!"
This time, I visited a little after 1:00 PM on a weekday, but it was already so popular that the limited-time menu items were sold out (lol).
While I was surprised by its immense popularity, this time my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant, focusing on their signature dishes!
▼The exquisite dishes we had this time
[My order]
◆ Tsukemen (with kelp broth) 1,200 yen
You can tell the moment it's served that the kelp broth has a wonderfully smooth texture!
The noodles have such amazing chewiness, texture, and mouthfeel that you'll want to eat them plain without any toppings! (I even found myself thinking, "I want to try eating them plain with just salt on them...!" lol)
And when you dip it in the exquisite dipping sauce, the flavor is doubled, and you won't be able to stop eating!
I ate it all up in no time!
What's even more noteworthy is how delicious the "char siu" (roast pork) is!!
This was incredibly delicious, and as a meat lover, I would wholeheartedly recommend it! 🥩
Eating it with pickled plums in the second half is a great way to refresh your palate!
◆ Extra Truffle Rice 200 yen
I ordered this to finish off my tsukemen!
From the moment it's served, the rich aroma of truffles fills the air, and when combined with the remaining soup, it transforms into the ultimate luxurious meal 🍚✨
Partway through, I added that silky smooth kelp water to "finish it off"... and needless to say, it was amazing! 🔥
[Wife's request]
◆ Chinese noodles 950 yen
I also tried a bite of the ramen my wife ordered, and the balance between the soup and noodles was excellent!
Personally, this was one of my absolute favorite soy sauce ramen dishes I've ever had!
The rich flavor of soy sauce and the depth of the broth permeate your body!

◆ Seared meat sushi (2 pieces) 500 yen
My wife and I each had one piece! Sushi 🍣
The savory flavor and richness of the perfectly grilled meat fill your mouth!
Eating a huge amount of just this would be fun too (lol).
