I went and recreated Fuunji's tsukemen! In addition, is isn’t as fishy tasting as many other modern tsukemen soups.

Next to the noodles was a beautiful bowl of broth. Then you would have thought, “That’s okay…” Please check across the road to see if there is another line of people behind the back wall waiting for their booty of noodles.

But well, one man’s meat is another man’s poison. Do you have a choice of not including the pork belly and just egg? With everyone eating and not talking, the place was quiet except for Japanese pop music blasting away on speakers in the front and back of the restaurant.

The line moved fairly fast as people ordered, slurped down their noodles faster than humanly possible, and moved on. Our very first meal in Tokyo was at Fuunji (風雲児), a ramen joint famous for its delicious tsukemen ramen. Kyushun Jangara Ramen (Tokyo) We turned our head to see what he was referring to, and alas, there was actually a really long queue of over 30 people behind! Today, Fuunji is widely regarded to be one of the top tsukemen joints in Tokyo. I personally wouldn't recommend stronger flavors like garlic or sesame oil here if you want to be true to the original, but of course, it's ramen so anything goes. Labor intensive, to say the least. The first time I tasted a bowl of tsukemen was at Fuunji, a small and unassuming ramen shop hidden on a quiet street near Shinjuku Station in Tokyo, Japan.Fuunji is considered by many, including me, to serve the best bowl of tsukemen in Tokyo. Not so fast. With confidence, I can say it serves up the best bowl of tsukemen ramen in all of Tokyo. Oh also for aromatics I added a whole onion and a couple carrots and maybe 3 thick slices of ginger. The taste of the stock when you mix them all together, is quite unimaginable.

After you finish your noodles, if you still have room, grab one of the kettles on the counter and pour hot water into your bowl and drink the remaining soup. Although apparently Fu-unji actually only uses chicken in the broth - pretty crazy.

Wrapping around the kitchen was a long wooden bar.

Each strand was firm but chewy with a great bouncy bite. With the all toppings inclusive “specials”, Fuunji could be more generous. Note that all the items come with seaweed, bamboo shoots and green onions by default, so there is no need to press the buttons for these unless you want extra.

Is the pork added on or cooked into the broth as I don’t eat pork but really want to try this! Surprisingly, he had never served as an apprentice under another ramen master. Directions: 8 minute walk from Shinjuku Station JR South Exit I’ve been a big fan since my first visit long ago. We had to queue for almost 1.5 hours, which was pretty crazy! Umami.

, They are both entirely different. But is Fuunji worth the hype and wait? Once you’re inside, make your selection from the ticket machine and line up against the wall. But wait. I won’t have typiclaly liked a fishy soup as I am usually a tonkotsu base person, but its layered flavours of rich chicken broth and smoky fish powder was revolutionary good, grabbing you to just focus on its unique taste.

For this reason alone, they’re worth a visit.

Alkaline flavor was definitely strong though. This time, however, I vowed not to be denied, and arrived before noon to make sure of it.

At one point, the staff will ask what amount of noodles you want (regular or large). Luckily, things sped up once we were inside the restaurant.

I used 3 whole chickens (breasts and thighs removed)!

Based on my observation, there were about four apprentices, with each of them expertly executing just one or two tasks.

After queueing for another 15 minutes or so, we finally got our seats!

Don't have any measurements there unfortunately, consistency was close to gravy, a touch lighter.

Super cool experiment with ash and flour type. They offer either a normal portion size or a (free) large portion size. Items 1 and 2 refer to the tsukemen ramen dish, which is Fuunji’s signature dish.

This isn’t a bad thing of course, and Fuunji still gets plenty of locals. Even though most customers were Japanese, the workers always seemed to have a smile on their face as they greeted and served the few tourists that passed through the doors.

In fact, Shinjuku is a famous ‘ramen hyper-battle zone’ (ラーメン激戦区) where ambitious ramen chefs set up stores to try to win over the most demanding customers. It means that instead of pork bones, the chef’s broth is based on chicken and chicken bones. Today, Fuunji is widely regarded to be one of the top tsukemen joints in Tokyo.

There are 3 noodle sizes with namimori (small, 200gm or so), chuumori (medium, 300 gm), and oomori (large, 400gm). This is a dry ramen dish where you dip cold noodles in a separate bowl of hot savoury broth.

He's sharing the recipe for tsukemen, also known as "dipping ramen." What made the tsukemen broth so special were the multiple layers of flavors and textures which complemented each other and balanced out the dish. But renting in Shinjuku isn’t cheap.

This bar was packed with customers, mostly businessmen, sitting elbow to elbow slurping down delicious bowls of tsukemen. It is served with a dollop of smoky dashi powder, which enhances the taste. Today I’m taking you to Fu’unji Tsukemen -the first place I recommend in Shinjuku for ‘Japanese dipping noodles’.
