Menya Muso brought a Tokyo ramen and tsukemen brand to the United States for the first time when it opened in Capitol Hill in November 2018. The restaurant, run by Passion Foods, Inc., has since expanded to several other Seattle-area locations.
The menu centers on tonkotsu ramen — a rich, creamy pork-based broth served with fresh vegetables and pork belly — alongside tsukemen, the house's dipping-style noodles paired with a thick pork-and-fish broth designed for the noodles to soak up. A vegan ramen built on a vegetable broth with tofu and vegetables rounds out the core lineup, with rice bowls and small plates filling in the rest of the menu.
The Capitol Hill space carries a strong Japanese atmosphere and theming, and regulars describe it as consistently crowded — service holds up even when the room is tight.
