The Kakegawa Grand Hotel is a luxury hotel that shines conspicuously at the south exit of Kakegawa Station in Shizuoka Prefecture.
This spring, Kakegawa Grand Hotel opened a long-awaited new restaurant.
It is a ramen restaurant named "Men Liu".
Meng Liu has attracted a great deal of attention from locals and tourists alike with its concept of a ramen restaurant with a spectacular view of the beautiful scenery of Kakegawa.
I'm sure everyone is wondering what kind of restaurant it is.
We will therefore introduce the new restaurant "Meng Liu" in detail.
Men Liu, a high-end ramen restaurant, opened on April 27, 2023 on the 10th floor of the Kakegawa Grand Hotel.
Although the hotel is located near the train station, it is surrounded by beautiful nature and offers a wonderful blend of natural and urban landscapes.
At Noodle Liu, Chef Liu Angguo is the mastermind behind the restaurant.
Liu Anguo is from Fushun, Liaoning Province, China, and has trained at numerous restaurants in his home country and Japan.
His desire to cook delicious food led him to a career in the culinary arts.
This restaurant maintains the traditional flavor of Sichuan cuisine,
We pursue flavors that suit the Japanese palate.
This is a dish that makes full use of unique spices and techniques, and allows you to enjoy the deep richness and spiciness of Sichuan cuisine.
Specialties at Meng Liu
Szechuan dish of noodles covered with a sauce of sesame paste and chili oil
One of Noodle Liu's recommended menu items is "Tantanmen," an appetizing dish with the flavors of bean-paste and sesame seeds.
This drink is an addictive gem with a lingering spiciness.
The tantanmen features a special bean-paste and sesame-based broth. One bite of the tantanmen will fill your mouth with the spiciness of the bean-paste and the richness of the sesame seeds, whetting your appetite.

Szechuan style stew
This local dish, a specialty of the chefs at Noodle Liu, is officially called shui zhou loupieng (water-boiled meat pieces).
Bite-sized pieces of meat are stewed in oiled broth, and chili peppers, hwajang pepper, green onions, and bean paste are heated in more oil to bring out their aroma and spiciness, which is then added to the broth.
Along with this soup, the ingredients can also be enjoyed together.
The "water-boiled meat pieces" have a unique flavor and spiciness that can only be found in Meng Liu.
You will be impressed by the exquisite taste of the tenderness of the meat and the flavor of the broth, which will spread over your tongue in a blink of an eye.
A must-try at Noodle Liu is the "Water Boiled Meat Piece," a local dish of the chef, which is a perfect harmony of spiciness and flavor.
We invite you to visit and enjoy this special flavor.

mapo doufu
Noodle Liu's Bean Curd with Bean Curd with Mapo Tofu has a "pleasantly numbing spicy flavor that is so hot that it blurs the scenery" using carefully selected sansho, hwasho, and chili peppers.
Its unique spiciness is not only hot but also exquisitely balanced with a profound flavor.
Particularly recommended is the "mapo donburi," a bowl of rice topped with hot and tasty spices that intertwine perfectly with the white rice.
One bite of the hot, rich, spicy sauce will fill your mouth with its exciting flavor.
It is an appetizing dish that goes well with white rice.
Noodle Liu's Mapo Bowl is a masterpiece of the chef's delicate technique and attention to detail.
In addition, the ingredients, carefully prepared with fresh ingredients, harmonize and unite in the mouth.
