Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto has just opened the doors of his first ramen restaurant, Momosan Ramen and Sake, located in Murray Hill. The new restaurant will be focused as much on Sake as on Ramen, with 13 different options by the glass and several sake-based cocktails. The ramen on the menu is fairly traditional, with an emphasis on tonkotsu and chicken ramens with traditional toppings, although the menu promises quality, including a secret recipe by which Morimoto’s noodles are more resistant to becoming soggy (or “Nobiru”). Appetizers include pig’s ear, pig’s foot, and two kinds of pork belly, plus a few non-porcine options as well.
Of course, there are no shortage of ramen options in the city, but any celebrity chef will have a certain opening bump. Momosan’s closest competition will be Ramen Takumi, on 34th and 3rd avenue.
