If you’ve never tried Hiroshima Tsukemen, you might be wondering one thing—is it spicy?
The answer is yes, but not overwhelmingly so. Hiroshima Tsukemen is traditionally served with a soy sauce-based dipping sauce that includes chili peppers, giving it a pleasantly spicy kick. The cold noodles help balance the heat, creating a refreshing and flavorful dish.
At Hiroshima Ramen Momiji, our Hiroshima Tsukemen is designed to let you enjoy both the rich umami of the dipping sauce and its gentle spiciness. It’s a favorite choice, especially during the warmer months.
For an even more unique experience, try our Hiroshima Tsukemen with crispy kakiage tempura. The light, crispy tempura adds a delicious crunch and pairs perfectly with the spicy dipping sauce.
Whether you’re a fan of spicy food or trying Hiroshima Tsukemen for the first time, it’s one of Hiroshima’s must-try local specialties.
