If it’s a spicy food that gets your mouth watering, then look no further than Menya Kouji, located near Chinatown, where they specialize in fiery red miso-based soups topped off with ground beef mincemeat mixed into their noodles—not one for those who don’t take kindly to spice levels but still worth trying just once if only so you can say “I did it!”
