About this place
Original or tomato? Even diners who eat karamen often say they find themselves weighing up these two flavours each time they visit Karamenya Masumoto Haradaten. The menu also includes white karamen, curry noodles and miso karamen, so there are options for sticking with a familiar bowl or trying something different.
Some people who visit for lunch say they like how the garlic, chives and egg mingle with the noodles. A ladies’ portion is also available, which may suit those looking for a smaller lunch. One diner who ordered miso karamen with thick noodles and 3 level of heat praised the balance between the miso broth and spice, and paired it with rice. It’s a useful combination to consider if you’d like to try the rich broth with rice.
There are dishes beyond the noodles, too. Chicken nanban is a favourite for one diner who says they return regularly for its tenderness. The menu also features Masumoto’s special cartilage, grated cartilage, and gyoza, to accompany a bowl of karamen or enjoy as a meal in their own right. You can eat in or take your food away. The branch has free parking, baby chairs and a children’s lunch, offering options for everyone from solo lunch-goers to families with children.
