Men Ippai (near west exit of Tsukamoto station/Nishiyodogawa Ward)

Nov. 02, 2017 File No. 24

First off, there is a eatery called Men Ippai that opened in 2010. It is the most famous representative in all of Tsukamoto. Usually, this place opens at 11 a.m., but the day we went, which was at the end of October, it opened at 11:30 a.m. (They are suffering due to shortage of employees)

(Side Note: We got permission for photography.)

The moment they opened, a row of nine seats at the counter table got occupied and there were many people waiting in line outdoors.

This place does not have a food ticket, so we need to pay when we order. Here is the menu.

Menu of Menippai

As we waited for a little while, the ramen we ordered before the restaurant opened came. This time we ordered, Kitakata style soy sauce flavored ramen and Tokyo style soy sauce based tsukemen (dipping noodle).
