After the popular Ropponmatsu spot, “Shin-chan Ramen,” closed its doors, a new place called “Men to Sake Zakio” opened in its place. I used to frequent “Shin-chan Ramen” often, enjoying their tonkotsu ramen and the famous garlic-heavy fried rice. Unfortunately, they had to close due to a staff shortage. I wonder how the owner is doing these days. With those thoughts in mind, I decided to visit the new “Men to Sake Zakio” that has taken over the space.
Umakara Miso Tsukemen is a must-try!
“Men to Sake Zakio” is known for its delicious tsukemen, and the owner highly recommends the “Umakara Miso Tsukemen.” While soy sauce and pork broth are the typical flavors for tsukemen, miso-based tsukemen is quite rare, and the spicy kick adds a unique touch. The noodles are from the famous “Keishi,” and their chewy texture pairs perfectly with the rich dipping sauce. Plus, the large portion option comes at no extra charge, which is a great bonus!
A Former Boat Racer’s Restaurant Offering Delicious Tsukemen and Drinks
“Men to Sake Zakio,” run by a former boat racer, is known not only for its tsukemen and ramen but also for its wide selection of alcoholic beverages. With options like beer, shochu, sours, and cocktails, it’s a great spot for those who want to enjoy a meal and drinks together. The cozy atmosphere, with both counter seats and traditional Japanese seating, makes it welcoming for both solo diners and groups.
The restaurant also has two TVs, allowing you to relax and watch while enjoying your food. It’s perfect for solo visits, where you can savor the delicious tsukemen and a drink while watching TV for a bit of indulgence. Plus, it’s open until 5:00 AM, making it an ideal spot for late-night dining.
