Tokyo’s Celebrated Menya Musashi Ramen Is Destined for Capitol Hill | Eater Seattle

"I'm excited to see this Tokyo-based ramen chain open at 1510 Belmont Ave on Friday, November 9, when Menya Musashi Niten Ichiryu—whose first location debuted in Shinjuku in 1998 and which has 14 locations throughout Asia—replaces Capitol Hill’s shuttered Tentenyu. The shop is known for serving big chunks of braised pork belly whole in the soup rather than the usual chashu slices, and it also specializes in tsukemen (dipping noodles) and a rich pork bone-and-seafood broth. After opening its first North American location in July in Los Angeles (coincidentally also replacing a defunct Tentenyu), this Seattle spot will be the company’s second on the continent. To celebrate the opening, starting November 9 at 5 p.m. they’ll offer $3 bowls of ramen (dine-in only) until 300 bowls are sold, one per person; regular hours begin November 10: Monday–Friday 11:30 a.m.–2 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.–10 p.m., Saturday 11:30 a.m.–11 p.m., and Sunday 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m." - Megan Hill
