In Tsukuba City, Ibaraki, Mendokoro Haikara (麺処 はいから) is a popular ramen shop known for its flavorful and hearty miso ramen.
The star of the menu is the Special Haikara Miso Ramen—a bowl packed with rich, umami-filled miso broth, thick slices of tender chashu pork, crunchy vegetables, menma (bamboo shoots), and a perfectly marinated soft-boiled egg. The broth is bold without being overpowering, with a subtle kick of spice.
Their signature noodles are flat and medium-thick, designed to soak up the delicious soup with every bite. The chashu melts in your mouth, and the toppings are balanced to let the miso flavor shine.
If you’re looking for something with an extra twist, try the Sakuradama Haikara Miso, which includes chili and Sichuan pepper for a mild numbing-spicy (“mala”) sensation.
🥢 “The deep miso flavor and perfectly cooked noodles create a satisfying, comforting bowl of ramen.”
The shop has a cozy, casual atmosphere and offers parking space for about 10 cars—perfect for locals and visitors alike.
