Trying Hiroshima Tsukemen for the first time? Don’t worry—it’s easy, delicious, and a little different from traditional ramen.
Unlike regular ramen, Hiroshima Tsukemen is served with cold noodles and a separate spicy dipping sauce. Instead of placing the noodles in the soup, you dip each bite into the sauce before eating.
Here’s how to enjoy it:
1. Pick up a small amount of noodles.
Use your chopsticks to grab a bite-sized portion of chilled noodles.
2. Dip the noodles into the sauce.
Lightly dip the noodles into the spicy soy-based dipping sauce. You can dip them deeper if you enjoy stronger flavors.
3. Enjoy with your favorite toppings.
Our Hiroshima Tsukemen is even better with toppings like sliced pork, green onions, and our unique crispy kakiage tempura, which adds a satisfying crunch to every bite.
4. Repeat and enjoy!
The combination of cool noodles, spicy sauce, and fresh toppings makes Hiroshima Tsukemen one of the city’s most refreshing local dishes, especially during the warmer months.
