Menya Shishimaru Description
Tucked within the bustling city of Nagoya lies Menya Shishimaru, a gastronomic haven for ramen enthusiasts. Ranking as the second-best ramen shop in Nagoya, this eatery is not just a place to grab a quick bowl; itâs an experience that leaves an indelible mark on your taste buds.
Whether you choose the signature Prawn ramen, opt for the rich Chicken, delve into the Mixed Shoyu adorned with Truffle Paste, or refresh yourself with the cold Summer Soba special, each bowl is a testament to the culinary expertise that defines this establishment.
Noodle aficionados will revel in the meticulously crafted texture of the ramen, each strand echoing years of tradition and modern-day perfection. Each broth is an intricate dance of flavors, with the standout being the shoyu base, renowned for its impeccable balance that is neither too overpowering nor too mild. The cold ramen, on the other hand, is a surprising delight that challenges and satisfies in equal measure.
Perhaps the most talked-about offering is the lobster base soup ramen. A creamy, flavorful concoction that reminds one of a fusion between Singaporean laksa and prawn noodles. This bowl, rich yet not overwhelmingly salty, carries a nostalgic aura that has the power to transport one home, even if momentarily. It is this distinctive lightness, coupled with intense flavors, that make each bowl at Menya Shishimaru memorable.
With warm hospitality and a menu that resonates with both tradition and innovation, Menya Shishimaru is more than just a ramen shop. It's an institution, a must-visit, a testament to the sheer brilliance of Japanese culinary arts.

Was in Nagoya for a few days and decided to give this ramen restaurant a try. I was very impressed, and came here a few times. I tried all 4 of their popular ramen: their signature Prawn, the Chicken, Mixed Shoyu with Truffle Paste or the cold Summer Soba special. Really liked the texture of the ramen and each component were cooked perfectly. The standouts definitely was the cold ramen, followed closely by the shoya base - very well balanced. Highly recommend ððð

Extremely delicious ramen. The lobster soup is the winner!
By default they served cold water. We requested for hot tea and she boiled water to make the tea for us. Add the black pepper paste. Itâs superb!! We went for 2 nights consecutively during our stay at the opposite Richmond Hotel.

My sister took me to this ramen shop that offers lobster broth noodles. This seafood based dish had a mellow and creamy taste to it and that red pepper corn added an interesting flavor. I could definitely eat another bowl this winter ð¬
