On the night of July 7, 2023, I visited a very standard "mataoma-style" tsukemen, with a good balance between the noodles and soup. The dipping sauce is a combination of animal and seafood flavors. Despite being open late into the night, the soup was surprisingly good. The noodles, made by Asakusa Kaikaro, had a satisfying chewy texture. I ordered the medium size for 1,000 yen, which was the same price as the small and regular sizes. Even though it was late at night, I couldn't resist ordering the medium size. The default tsukemen was priced in the four digits, reflecting the trend of rising prices. The restaurant provides various condiments on the table, such as garlic vinegar, fish powder, and chili powder, which enhance the flavor. The noodles were thick and had a good texture, with a hint of wheat flavor. The dipping sauce had a combination of animal and seafood flavors along with soy sauce, topped with chashu, green onions, and seaweed. The toppings included menma and slices of lime on top of the noodles. The restaurant operates on a ticket vending machine system, and high denomination bills are accepted. The review was based on a visit on July 7, 2023, at 22:35, with no wait time for seating and a wait time of less than 10 minutes for the food to be served. The meal lasted for 19 minutes.
