つけ麺 & 油そば Tukemen & Soupless
TSUKEMEN
Categorized under ramen, Tsukemen is a type of noodles with cold (or hot) soup on the side for you to dip. The soup is normally flavored stronger than regular ramen. Just a few years ago, there were many people who never had Tsukemen before, but now, Tsukemen specialty restaurants are making appearances as well as many variations such as vegetable potage. Keep your eyes open for new creations!
DO YOU KNOW RAMEN WITHOUT SOUP?
Recently in Japan, ramen without soup is making an appearance. It called “Abura Soba” or “Maze Soba”. The three components of ramen – soup, noodle and toppings – are all tossed together equally presenting their existence, featuring the flavor you could not have tasted before. You will mix soy sauce based sauce, vinegar, and oil. Although you are adding vinegar, the overall flavor is mild and not tangy at all. If you prefer light taste, you can add extra vinegar to your bowl. Would you call this a creation by obsession of Japanese chefs or a non-traditional invention?
