Mori soba tsukemen
The story behind the bowl
Taishoken carries the tsukemen tradition associated with Tokyo's original dipping-noodle lineage into San Francisco. Separate noodles and broth make wheat texture and the concentrated dip equally important.
Before you go: Dip only part of each noodle portion at first; ask about soup-wari to finish the broth.
