Motsu ramen with beef gopchang, or the spicy shoyu 'hangover' bowl
The story behind the bowl
Mentsuru's City Hall branch gives central Seoul a distinct offal-led ramen counterpoint: beef small intestine in a dense, spicy broth, alongside shoyu, shio and tori paitan. The menu spans classic Japanese styles and a Korean-palate-friendly spicy bowl.
Before you go: Use the City Hall branch specifically; Mentsuru has several Seoul locations with different menus. Confirm the current menu before ordering motsu ramen.
