About
Menya Sho is a long-running modern favourite a short walk from Seibu-Shinjuku and the west side of Shinjuku station. The star is a shio ramen made with shamo chicken: a clear, rounded salt soup topped with chicken and pork chashu, smoked chicken thigh and a seasoned egg. It has been named to Tabelogs Ramen 100 six years in a row, has 18 counter seats and stays open until late evening, which makes it a reliable choice near the Shinjuku hotels.
