A pioneer of the ramen boom back in Tokyo, the introduction of Menya Musashi in Singapore was surprisingly downplayed. Tucked away in a corner and fading behind the presence of other restaurants like Salt Grill and Brotzeit, I would have missed it if not for a couple of column banners displayed within the mall.The restaurant was clearly inspired by Japan past, with traditional furnishings, murals of samurai warriors adorning much of the facade.

The restaurant was clearly inspired by Japan past, with traditional furnishings, murals of samurai warriors adorning much of the facade. Occasional warrior-like calls from the chefs in the kitchen only helped to build the atmosphere.
Menya Mushashi is famed for its own brand of Tsukemen (dipping noodles). Diners can choose from 3 sauces, White (original pork broth), Red (spicy) and Black (garlic). The ramen is served separately from the broth selected. To consume, simply take portions of the ramen, dip in broth and down the hatch
The Black (garlic) broth was much more savoury in my opinion, but I'd want to caution any fellow foodie from simply drinking out of the bowl unless you have water in reserve. A lot of water.Currently, the restaurant is running a promotion, where you can order a set meal at $15++ and get additional miso soup and gyoza. Though not as plump as some of the gyoza I tried, those at Menya Mushashi did hit the spot with a brilliant texture contrast and flavourful filling.
This would probably be my ramen of choice whenever I'm at Raffles City. =D
