    To be honest, I love both Ramen and Tsukemen as long as they taste good! lol

    why tho did you dip the noodles, take a bite, and then put the half bitten noodles back in the bowl? all this for a photo? 😂

    edit: or are those bamboo shoots?

    I like both but I tend to crave ramen far more often.

  6. Ramen all the way. I tried Tsukemen Gonokami in Shinjuku recently. I personally hated it. Why are the noodles cold and the dipping sauce only warm? After a few dips, the broth loses its temperature and then the rest of the meal is as cold as zaru-soba. And then there was a block of cheese in there that wasn’t melted… Overall one of my worst food experiences in Japan, and that’s saying something.

    つけ麵はラーメンの味より好きけど、食べ方ちょっとめんどくさいと思います。
    だから普通はラーメン食べますよ笑

    Tsukemen, no contest. Thicker noodles + dunking control just hits different.

    Ramen. The thing about Tsukemen is while I enjoy dipping noodles in a flavorful broth, I frankly did not like the end part where one is supposed to add some clear soup into the potent broth in order to drink it as a soup. In every instance I did that the broth became diluted and the flavor is lost.

  10. I thought that I would really enjoy tsukemen when I learned about it, but I tried it twice and I didn’t really enjoy eating it, at least nowhere near as much as I enjoy ramen.
