Minobu

The red lantern advertises ramen, but Minobu is an izakaya. Visitors particularly recommend the gyoza, describing it as punchy and generously seasoned with garlic. Pairing it with a beer is one way to start.

Another characteristic way to spend an evening here is to enjoy drinks and izakaya dishes such as sashimi before finishing with ramen. One diner reported trying albacore sashimi and kizushi, vinegared fish, before ending with a bowl of ramen. Their bowl came topped with spring onion, menma bamboo shoots and a simmered egg. Ramen in regular and large sizes, as well as a sashimi platter, have also appeared among the menu options, though listings may not reflect current availability, so check the menu on the day.

Minobu also caters to late-night appetites. It is usually open from 19:00 until 3:00 the following day, except on Thursdays, making it an option for dinner or for ramen and a light meal later in the evening.
