Tsukemen (Dipping Ramen)

"The concentrated pork-dashi broth at Fuunji is the benchmark for tsukemen in Tokyo. The noodle thickness is deliberate — springy enough to carry the broth from bowl to mouth without losing cohesion."

"Fuunji's tsukemen is the thick, curly dipping ramen that set the template for Tokyo's tsukemen boom. The dashi-pork broth is intensely concentrated — you dilute it yourself with the hot broth served alongside. The noodles are thick and designed for dipping — they hold the broth without losing their chew. The ratio of noodle to broth per dip is the skill you develop over multiple visits. This is still the benchmark."
