"While pulling out the flavour and taste of the fish, the ingredients used are fresh, clean, so it doesn’t give any peculiar smell. The fish used is different each day, so you can enjoy a taste of different fish in the food differently every day."
"The god of the sea would approve, assuming he eats seafood."
"The lightly flavoured soup is topped with perfectly matched cod and prawn dumplings and chicken meatloaf, and also goes very well with condiments like spring onions, ginger, perilla leaves and shredded chilli."
"The result is a thin but fully flavorful and refined broth that maintains a pleasant taste of the ocean without becoming overly "fishy" like some darker soups made from dried bonito and mackerel stock. "
"The delicate but flavorful very seafood-based shio broth at this ramen shop is made from the catch of the day - a mix of several types of fish in season."
"Menya Kaijin serves its ramen in a unique-tasting soup. The pickled fish imparts another dimension of flavor into the soup, and it’s like enjoying another dish after your ramen."
"Menya Kaijin’s bestseller is the Arataki Shio Ramen – noodles with a light soup made of tasty simmered fish stock."
"Kaijin ramen is famous for Shio(salt) based ramen. Once you try it, you’ll definitely be a fan of Kaijin ramen."
"Noodles were thin, straight and chewy. Fish ball made of cod fish and shrimp was soft. On the other hand, meat ball included soft chicken bones and it was crunchy crisp. Both of them were delicious."
