Menkoi Sao — authentic Sapporo-style ramen in the West Village (麺恋沙織, formerly Menkoi Sato)
麺恋 — noodle love. Hokkaido in a bowl, on Cornelia Street.
“I’m Saori. I kept Sato’s recipes, brought my own, and import the same curly Nishiyama noodles from home. Same counter. New chapter. Come sit.”
The Bowls
Sapporo-style broth, curly Nishiyama noodles from Hokkaido, chashu on top.
Premium Shoyu醤油
Our signature — a deep, clear shoyu tare, chashu, ajitama, nori and scallion in a 雷紋-rim bowl.
Signature
Spicy Red-Miso辛味噌
Akamiso the Sapporo way — thick, hot, built for winter and good all year. The reddest bowl on the counter.
House favorite
Fiber Ramen沙織の一杯
Saori’s own new bowl — cabbage, shimeji, ground pork and chives in a warming red broth.
Saori’s pick
Under the white tiger — 白虎
Sapporo & Sumikawa come to Cornelia Street. A tiny counter, an open kitchen, a hand-painted 白虎 watching over the wood benches.
