As summer approaches and the temperature rises, there’s nothing more satisfying than indulging in something spicy to beat the heat. Mita Seimen, a renowned tsukemen specialty restaurant operating under MP Kitchen, is set to launch its much-anticipated seasonal dish, the
Scorching Tsukemen, on July 1, 2025. This spicy delight has been a summertime favorite for over a decade, and this year, it's ready to take your tastebuds on a thrilling journey, offering four different levels of heat—from mild (1 spiciness) to extreme (maximum spiciness).
