About this spot
Mannen delivers intense, savory beef broth that cuts through the rich fat with perfect clarity. You must order the thick-sliced beef and let it steep in the hot dashi before slurping to unlock the full umami flavor.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the 'Kata' (half) portion if you plan to linger over a bowl of this heavy broth.
- Bring your own chopsticks or ask for a pair, as they are rarely provided at the counter.
- Go early in the morning before the line stretches around the block.
