In episode the gang of Ramen Hunters adventured off to Menya Musashi, located near Ala Moana shopping center on Pensacola St. Menya Musashi is a relatively new ramen joint that opened early this year. It is originally a ramen franchise from Tokyo, Japan and has made it's way here in Honolulu. Their signature ramen is the Shoyu ramen. Its soup made with konbu (sea weed), and dried fish, added with shoyu flavoring, creates a traditional Tokyo style ramen that is loved by many. Another customer favorite is their goma ramen. Its goma ramen is its traditional shoyu broth mixed with roasted sesame seeds.
What also makes Menya Musashi so special is its topping. Every ramen is served with a GIANT piece of pork Kakuni, which is a thick, juicy charsiu that has been simmered in a shoyu based sauce. It also comes with aji-tama which is a boiled egg that has also been simmer in shoyu sauce. Ramen Hunter Kei ordered their famous shoyu ramen, while Cori gave the goma ramen a try.
Also note that every ramen on the menu can be made spicy upon request with no extra charge. You have the choice of levels 1-3 to adjust to your liking.
Ramen Hunter Kei ate his ramen so fast, and guzzled every last drip of his soup !
He mentioned that Menya Musashi's shoyu ramen is #1 here in Hawaii. Originally being raised in Tokyo, he has visited Menya Musashi in Japan many times. Kei said that he used to always eat there after a long hard day from baseball practice. When he first heard that Musashi's opened here in Hawaii, Kei was in shock. He told his fellow Ramen Hunters that he had to introduce this restaurant to everyone!

Ramen Hunter Cori ordered her Goma Ramen spicy at level 2. She was a bit afraid because it was her first time here so she went with level 2, but after tasting the soup she said it was not hot enough! Cori always demands her ramen to have that extra kick!....or two
She commented that the soup was good, as it was not too thick how some other places do there goma ramen and overall Cori was satified.

Both Ramen Hunters had mentioned how good the pork kakuni was. It was so thick and juicy that they could've been satisfied with just the kakuni and a bowl of rice.....
So with that, We'd like to introduce you all to the Musashi Don!
It is a combination of their pork kakuni, chicken tempura, garlic shrimp, and a soft boiled egg, all served on top of a bed of rice. Yes... it is a dream come true..
Not to mention you can order it on the side of your ramen with their combination deal, and is also available for take out as well.

So to wrap it all up, Menya Musashi is a well known ramen franchise in Japan and its taste makes it self explanatory. Not only Kei, but all of us Ramen Hunters would recommend Menya Musashi. It is a ramen joint still trying to make its name out there here on the islands, and we all encourage you to give it a try.
