I am not sure of the background of this place, but its location along a commercialized drag in Roppongi was an unlikely place to find a tsukemen shop that was rather modern and differentiated (3 Chome-13-10, 03-6447-1140). Of course, the noodles were thick and chewy, and the broth was thick and salty with good chunks of pork in there. But if you look closely at the noodles, they sat in a cold kelp water that was mildly savory.
They had instructions to try the noodles plain before sprinking on a bit of salt, and that was before even dipping into the broth. Later, you could spike the noodles with sudachi citrus juice, as well as add some broth to the water, with the final instructions of "eating everything." I loved both the food and the playful attitude here, and am so glad that I randomly decided to go here instead of the crowded shop down the street.
