Toshima City, Tokyo, Japan｜Ganso Mentainikomi Tsukemen

I really enjoyed it. It deserves the 5 stars. The restaurant is slightly hidden away down a narrow hallway and past the elevator. Follow the stairs up to the second floor. I first noticed the traditional Japanese music and the indoor woodwork. No wait. I was seated immediately. Once you're greeted, you'll pick up a small wooden tab that shows how much noodles you want. I was served quickly and efficiently. Let's be real, you're here for the mentaiko. You can choose your spiciness level or add spicy paste to your liking. It comes with rice but I asked them to hold it, 200g noodles was enough for me. The noodles were fresh and thick, and the broth was extremely enjoyable. The broth came in its own heated pot with a lid. They served a tea that had a rich flavor, I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was. I had added in two eggs and some pork as add ons. Tsukemen is a different take on traditional ramen eating. It's fun to dip noodles every once in a while. I'd definitely come back again!

One of the best tsukemen place I found in Tokyo. (The other good place is Mammoth in Shibuya). It is pricier than other places but the soup has lots of cod roe eggs in it so even though it’s prob the left over cut which are generally sold cheaper it doesn’t matter for this dish & it’s a alright price imo. Pudding was surprisingly good too lol

The food is incredibly delicious, the dipping is very thick and perfect for dipping noodles (they give you soup if you think it's too thick). The place is actually quite big, you can only access it through stairs though. When you enter the restaurant you need to pick the amount of noodles and the spiciness. The amount of noodle and spiciness doesn't affect the price to a certain level. I think the soup is seafood based and it doesn't come with pork char siu and egg like the usual ramen (you have to order it separately).
