1ST STEP - NOODLES 2ND STEP - DIPPING 3RD STEP - TOPPING 4TH STEP - SOUP WARI At Taishoken, we believe tsukemen is a dish to enjoy the taste Dip the noodles in our special broth cooked over two days Enjoy the change in flavor by eating the topping as is, When you’re done with the noodles, try adding our soup wari (special of the noodles. First, enjoy the taste of wheat and texture of with pork, chicken, dried anchovy, and dried bonito. The or dip them in the soup. dashi broth) to the leftover dipping soup. Drink the soup wari and dipping our freshly made noodles by eating some without any soup. soup will coat the thick noodles and will create a pleasant soup mixture to cleanse your palette. The umami made with the synergy of experience as you swallow. DO NOT POUR THE SOUP glutamic acid from kelp, guanylic acid from shiitake mushroom, and inosinic on to the noodles as it will dilute the soup. acid from dried bonito will spread in your mouth and leave a great aftertaste.

OUR FRESHLY MADE NOODLES DO NOT CONTAIN PRESERVATIVES OR ADDITIVES, MAKING IT EASY FOR THE NOODLES TO DRY AND QUICKLY STICK TOGETHER. WE RECOMMENDED NOT LETTING THE NOODLES SIT AROUND TOO LONG AND EATING AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER SERVING. AT THE SAME TIME, IF YOU PUT A LOT OF NOODLES IN THE SOUP AT ONCE, THE SOUP WILL COOL DOWN.
