Mendokoro Kinari's signature dish is an elegant and mellow dark soy sauce ramen layered with the umami of shiitake mushrooms and seafood. The medium-thin straight noodles containing whole wheat flour offer a satisfying bite, carrying the soup smoothly and allowing diners to enjoy every last bite with a light finish. Its trio of slow-cooked chashu—featuring pork, chicken, and duck—each offers a distinct texture and depth of flavor, celebrated as resembling French roast cuts. The menu also includes white soy sauce ramen with Japanese pepper, salt ramen, and seasonal offerings utilizing French techniques for seasoning and aromatic finishing, offering a new experience on every visit. Playful touches such as seasoned extra noodles (ae-dama) are also available. The calm, white-toned interior features 11 seats, mainly along the counter. Located a 1-minute walk from Higashi-Nakano Station, it is frequented by solo diners and easy to drop by casually.
