Mitsuyado Sei-Men - The House of Tsukemen

Mitsuyado Sei-men: An Unconventional Japanese Experience

by Cityzen | Kathrina Paz Elefante

I first heard about Mitsuyado Sei-men on ANC’s Executive Class. Knowing the kind of places and products they feature, I knew that this ramen place has got to be something special.

So one Saturday, I made my way to quiet Jupiter Street in Makati to visit the first international branch of the restaurant also known to be the House of Tsukemen. I stepped inside and not only was I brought to another place - I also went back in time. The interiors are made to look like the streets of Japan some 50 years ago – cobblestone floor, a food stall complete with wheels on one side of the room, an old bicycle hanging from the ceiling on the other, and vintage-looking posters all around. It was already becoming a memorable experience for me just by walking in.

Marufuku: Authentic Japanese Cuisine

It’s always a pleasure finding new restaurants. I used to actively look for new places and then let friends and family know how it was (it’s probably one of the reasons why I got this writing gig in the first place). And a few weeks ago, I saw a banner announcing this new Japanese restaurant. I positively had to go and check it out. I was like a moth to the flame.
