Manshu Main Store
Beloved by Kochi locals, this savory, mildly spicy ramen topped with a thick sauce pairs perfectly with rice.
This popular restaurant is known for Janmen, a local ramen considered a soul food of Kochi Prefecture. The noodles are topped with a thick sauce containing egg, garlic chives, and offal. Committed to using locally sourced ingredients, the restaurant offers dishes made with local garlic chives, rice, eggs, and more.
The mildly spicy, addictive sauce combines an animal- and seafood-based soy sauce broth with doubanjiang, miso, and other seasonings. Generous portions of garlic chives and offal make it especially satisfying. After finishing the noodles, adding rice is recommended so none of the exceptional sauce goes to waste. Although Janmen is described as savory and spicy, it is actually mild enough for children. Those who prefer more heat can adjust the spice level with paid toppings.
Popular side dishes include motsunabe, praised as being on par with versions from specialty restaurants, as well as fried chicken and stir-fried boiled offal, both excellent accompaniments to Janmen.
