Experience the Fusion of Flavors at Mita Seimen
Mita Seimen, a popular dipping noodle specialty shop managed by MP Kitchen Holdings located in Shibuya, Tokyo, has launched a new limited-time dish called "Mita no Raa Kare" starting May 7, 2026. This unique offering merges the rich, savory tonkotsu and seafood broth that the restaurant is famous for with aromatic curry spices, creating an entirely new dining experience. With roots in the innovative 'Raa Kare®' initiative by House Gaban, Mita Seimen's curry is uniquely crafted for noodle enthusiasts.
Introducing Raa Kare®
For those unfamiliar, Raa Kare® is a new genre of curry rice introduced by ramen shops, designed to utilize their traditional broth as a foundational ingredient. Unlike conventional curry ramen, which simply has a curry flavor added, Raa Kare combines ramen broth with curry to create a dish meant to be served over rice. This not only highlights the unique characteristics of each ramen shop's broth but also allows for a diverse range of tastes within the same dish—each shop offers its own original twist on this culinary innovation.
Mita Seimen has embraced this trend and developed its version called "Mita no Raa Kare". This dish features a thick and complex tonkotsu seafood broth, enhanced with spices that give it a kick—making it a perfect comfort food.
A Flavorful Dish You Can’t Resist
The dish captivates with a savory base, combining the deep umami of tonkotsu and seafood, along with a medley of vibrant curry spices, achieving a well-balanced flavor that won’t tire your palate. Accompanied by the distinctive flavors of nori and fish powder, the dish offers an engaging taste experience that will satisfy not only curry lovers but also dipping noodle aficionados.
You can enjoy "Mita no Raa Kare" on its own or even with noodles, making it versatile. It’s a dish that invites creativity—feel free to add extras like rice, raw eggs, chashu pork, or chopped green onions for a customized flavor profile that nods to traditional ramen shop innovations.

Mita Seimen’s Dedication to Quality
At Mita Seimen, their focus on rich tonkotsu seafood broth is what makes their dipping noodles shine. The secret lies in the meticulous preparation—a prolonged simmering process extracts the maximum flavor from both pork and seafood, crafting a robust broth that defines their culinary identity. Paired with carefully selected premium wheat flour, their extra-thick noodles boast a delightful texture and are prepared with precise attention to water absorption rates driven by daily weather conditions.
When served, the noodles are cooked to order, ensuring they are perfectly firm and have the right chewiness, complemented by their mouthwatering broth.
