Menya Sakimasa: Niboshi-Rich Tsukemen Worth Every Bite (Watch Out for the Lunch Rush!)
2017.12.01
A Sarukuma writer visits “Menya Sakimasa” in Kumamoto and shares a firsthand report. Price range: from 880 yen. We also cover family-friendly tips, access, and opening hours.
Today we’re introducing
“Menya Sakimasa,”
located in Tamukae, Minami Ward, Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture.
The shop sits right next to a pachinko parlor.
It gets seriously packed during lunchtime, so plan accordingly!
Recommended Menu
Our top pick is, of course, the Tsukemen (Large) for 880 yen.
The dipping broth has a wonderfully concentrated niboshi (dried sardine) flavor, balanced by a hint of refreshing yuzu citrus.
It’s surprisingly light, and with a soup wari (broth dilution) at the end, you can savor every last drop!
There’s a parking lot in front of the shop.
Drive safely and enjoy your visit!
