This dipping ramen features thick noodles served separately from a rich, concentrated broth, allowing you to control the intensity of each bite.
"I’ve visited Hokkaido Ramen several times, and their Tsukemen and Kara-Miso Ramen consistently stand out as some of the best in the city. Both dishes are rich and authentic, with deep, well balanced flavours that are satisfying without being overly salty. Each bite leaves you wanting more."
