Misen

Misen’s spicy ramen (a modified take on the far spicier Taiwanese danzi noodles) originated in Nagoya and have now found a keen following in the capital. Using the signature Taiwan Ramen (¥800) as a base, with its broth made from shoyu and chicken bones, the chef piles on a rich and spicy minced meat stew packed with shichimi peppers and garlic. Choose between two unusually named heat levels: American (mild) and Italian (spicy) – alternatively, there’s shio, miso, tantan and maze (pronounced ‘ma-ze’) noodles on the menu.
