Yakisoba $7.50
- $8.99
Mugen”Ēs powerful stoves are very unusual for this type of
Japanese restaurant. These strong burners are essential
for sealing in the flavors of their fresh ingredients. This
is one of the key factors that makes Mugen”Ēs yakisoba (pan-fried
noodles) such a popular menu item. Abundant vegetables such
as carrots, cabbage, broccoli, bean sprouts, onions along
with the yakisoba noodles themselves are quickly fried on
top of these stoves. Their homemade sweet and tangy yakisoba
sauce made from various fruits and vegetables complements
the natural sweetness of the vegetables. The amount of tasty
vegetables makes this yakisoba a very healthy dish. Customers
can also add some special toppings such as shrimp, beef,
or tofu (bean curd). You have to try the yakisoba at Mugen!

Grilled Yellow Tail
Collar with Ponzu Sauce
(included Miso Soup) $15.50
Mugen purchases whole yellowtail to serve as sashimi (slices
of raw fish). The delicacy of fish collar is also offered
as one of their menu items after being salted then grilled.
The collar is the meaty portion around the gills, and it
is customary in Japan to serve them salted then grilled.
The collars of yellowtail or tuna are very tender and delicious.
When you first try this dish, you may have some difficulty
in getting the fish meat off the bones, but it is totally
worth the effort. Their carefully grilled yellowtail collar
goes really well with steamed rice. Dipping it in some homemade
ponzu sauce is very refreshing too. |
|
|
Only two collars
are to be had from each fish, so supplies are limited. It
takes about 20 minutes to grill them. Please call to reserve
for your enjoyment a piece of this flavorful delicacy in
advance. |
