About
Part of a franchise traceable to the tsukemen specialist 'Nobunaga' in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, Ieyasu Tsukemen & Izakaya has grown across Shanghai and Southeast Asia. The Mengzi Road branch—the second city location after the flagship on Xingyi Road—is run with Japanese operational discipline: reservations are accepted, service is attentive, and broth refills are offered mid-meal without prompting. The nine tsukemen dipping sauces (miso, hot miso, soy sauce, hot soy sauce, sesame, hot sesame, curry, tomato-cheese, and kimchi) each draw from the same nine-hour triple stock of pork bone, chicken, and bonito. Noodle portions are sold by weight (100g for ¥45, 150g for ¥52), and an extra sauce can be added for ¥25. Beyond tsukemen and ramen, the evening izakaya menu ranges from yakitori to sushi and sashimi. Confirmed by Nomfluence as one of the city's best ramen and tsukemen options.
