Ramen and Tsukemen. Which do you like better?



In the case of Ramen, it is provided so that noodle is in soap. You can enjoy it in hot temperature.

On the other hand, Tsukemen is served separating noodle and soup, which help keep its elasticity.

Actually, the history of Tsukemen is not so profound, just 15-20 years. The very origin is thought to be a legend of Taisho-ken in Ikebukuro.

At the first place, there is background to eat noodle that is soaked into soup. It is since Edo period.
That is Soba. So, the birth of Tsukemen is not so suprising.

This original Taisho-ken has already gone, but its offsprings scatter around Tokyo.

You google this word "大将軒" and find several shops.

I will put a link later.
