Highest!!!

This shop is a little far from the station. At first glance, it looks like a barracks restaurant, so you might overlook it, but it is a famous tsukemen restaurant. This time I had the spicy "Tsukemen Red". First of all, when you give your ticket, you can choose from three levels of spiciness, and I asked for the spiciest one. Also, you can choose a large size (1.5 balls) or a medium size (1.2 balls) for free, and you can choose the finish of the noodles from hot or cold. The noodles that came out were medium thick and chewy. It's not firm and firm, but 1.5 large balls is more than 2 balls at a poor restaurant. For me, who is fat and doesn't eat much, it was enough for me to skip dinner. And when it comes to spiciness, even though it's the spiciest, it doesn't taste that spicy. The color looks quite red, but is it just a little spicy? Although the capsaicin-like stimulation of the chili peppers was not very strong, the setting brought out the flavor of the soup and it was a wonderful soup that did not upset the balance of flavor. It's not my favorite type of noodles, but the noodles were in the best condition, with the chewy texture of the noodles lifting the soup just the right amount, making it a satisfying meal.

A hidden gem! The shop is old and has a unique atmosphere, but the owner who operates one operation seems to be a kind person, and it is a shop with low hurdles if you get used to it. Above all, the tsukemen you get here is one of the most delicious in the Tenma area. With smooth medium-thick noodles, crunchy vegetables, soft-boiled eggs, plenty of bamboo shoots, and a simple, rich and fragrant dipping sauce, it's a gem that can't be complained about! By the way, my recommendation is "salt" tsukemen. On top of that, I think the cost performance is quite high (free up to large servings). I want to come again!
