Ramen restaurant • 2-chōme-12-6 Minamiyukigaya, Ota City, Tokyo 145-0066, Japan
Located in a residential area of Tokyo's downtown, "Tsukemen Takemoto" is a hidden gem that serves outstanding tsukemen without any flashy signs. You can enjoy the contrast between the quiet atmosphere of the back streets and the fragrant, freshly made tsukemen.
Despite its unassuming appearance, the shop's pride lies in its exquisite dipping broth, showcasing the masterful skills in its creation. The rich dipping broth, based on a double soup of chicken and seafood, remains enjoyable until the last bite. The chewy, homemade noodles are also exceptional and perfectly complement the dipping broth.
By using the various condiments available at the counter, you can freely customize the flavor of the dipping broth. Adding curry salt creates a curry tsukemen flavor, and throwing in a heated stone quickly transforms the soup into piping hot. This tsukemen offers a variety of ways to enjoy eating, full of playful creativity.
You can choose an extra-large serving (400g) or a mountainous portion (600g), providing plenty of satisfaction. However, the dipping broth is not overwhelmingly rich, allowing you to finish every last bite without getting tired of it.
Why not immerse yourself in the delightful flavor of the outstanding tsukemen at this hidden gem of a shop tucked away in the back streets of downtown Tokyo?
