I went to eat “Tsukemen”（Dipping noodles） at “Zuru-men Ikeda”, a ramen restaurant located in the Meguro Station neighborhood in Meguro-ku, Tokyo. This restaurant is highly rated by many ramen lovers for its homemade noodles and thick soup.

Cleanliness of the restaurant and commitment to homemade noodles

As soon as you take a seat, you will be ready for the “Tsukemen” (Dipping noodles) to be served. The most distinctive feature of this restaurant is its commitment to homemade noodles. Made from domestic wheat flour and finished with Mongolian rock salt, brine, and pi water, the noodles have a rich wheat aroma and excellent chewiness.

Rich and balanced soup

The soup of “Tsukemen” (Dipping noodles) has a rich flavor of chicken white soup with a hint of seafood. The soup looks thick and thick, but when you actually drink it, the salty taste is just right and the seafood flavor fills your mouth. It is made without additives or chemical seasoning, and its natural flavor is one of its charms. The soup is filled with cabbage, bamboo shoots, and chopped kakuni (stewed diced pork), and these ingredients further enhance the flavor of the soup.

Exquisite harmony of noodles and soup

“Zuru-men Ikeda”‘s “Tsukemen” (Dipping noodles) is characterized by its thick, sticky noodles. These thick noodles have a smooth, smooth texture and are a perfect match for the thick soup. First taste the noodles as they are, then dip them in the soup, and the flavor of the noodles and that of the soup will blend perfectly. In addition, you can add a refreshing change to the flavor by squeezing the lemon that accompanies the noodles. The acidity of the lemon neutralizes the richness of the noodles and soup, making this a dish that can be enjoyed to the end without getting tired of it.
