A Shinjuku ramen bar known for its crystal-clear fish-based shio broth, thin noodles, and grilled onigiri finish—popular at any hour.
MK Guide Recommends
Just steps from Shinjuku Station’s southeast exit, Menya Kaijin serves a refined take on seafood ramen. Daily-selected fish heads and bones are charcoal-seared and simmered to create a clean, umami-rich shio broth that feels both light and deeply savory. Thin, custom-milled noodles soak the broth with gentle elasticity, pairing beautifully with handmade fish-and-chicken meatballs, scallions, shiso, and a touch of chili . End with a grilled heshiko (mackerel) rice ball added to the remaining soup—it transforms into a rustic zosui. With six counter seats and ten table seats in a quietly modern space, this halal-friendly ramen bar is a polished choice for solo diners or groups at any hour.
