Ramen Diaries: Mitsuyado Sei-men

There are ramen. And there's tsukemen.
Tsukemen are dipping noodles, just like the Chinese toast noodles that you dip into the soup before eating. The difference? While the Chinese variety merely separate the noodles from the soup, the tsukemen's soup base is thicker, having a sauce-like consistency.

Mitsuyado Seimen's bestseller is the Cheese Tsukemen.

At first you would think it's spaghetti with thick noodles cooked al dente.
But then you pour in the cheese (the cheese is like cheez whiz) and start dipping it into the soup, the magic happens...an exceptionally tasty and gooey ramen you can slurp.

Delicious whether you're a ramen lover or not. I was expecting to be overwhelmed by the cheese although I kept adding in moderation and the slight tartness of the ramen soup somehow balances things out, making it a ramen experience worth going back to

Other stuff we ordered: Gyoza , 5 pcs. pan-fried and definitely better than Ukkokei's ho-hum gyoza.
Gyoza P 180
Black Pepper Chicken Don Php 260
I loved the Black Pepper Chicken, they were very generous with the chunks of chicken
and the taste of pepper wasn't too overwhelming. For those who are not in the mood for ramen, this one's good.

Stuff that didn't make it in the pics: Chasyu Ramen

Check out  the place! It feels like you're dining in a movie set of war time Tokyo. Great concept. And by the way they also have a bakery next door named Yamato.
Thank you Mitsuyado I'm now a fan.
