What Is Tsukemen? (Japanese Dipping Ramen)
Tsukemen is a Japanese noodle dish, originating in Tokyo, where noodles are served separately from a thick, concentrated dipping broth. Unlike traditional ramen served in hot broth, tsukemen noodles are dipped into a flavorful, often tangy broth, allowing you to savor the unique texture and taste of the noodles. After finishing the noodles, you can dilute the remaining broth with soup stock called "wari-soup" and enjoy drinking it, providing an enjoyable and satisfying meal experience.
