Menya Shinuchi Minatocho Main Branch — Restaurant in Hakodate

Amazing Tsukemen shop, it’s quite far from the tourist spot. You’ll have to work for one of the top top Tsukemen in town.

The day we went, they only have the classic one available so we didn’t get to taste the shrimp dipping soup.

The noodle was chewy in the best possible way with a hint of wheat note. While the dipping soup is a combination of fish and chicken. They’ve also put a small yuzu zest which gives it that slight tang and citrus aroma to cut through the richness of the soup. Chashu pork was soft but pink in color. Amazing experience! We’ve also order pork rice bowl to go with Tsukemen. Pork bowl comes with wasabi.

Amazing spot, worth every minute it took...

🍣Dish/Meal: The highlight of the meal was the Tsukemen, featuring thick, chewy noodles served alongside a concentrated dipping broth, bursting with umami flavors and accompanied by tender slices of chashu pork. The dipping broth boasted a rich, complex flavor profile creating a symphony of flavors with every bite.

💸Price: 1,000-1,500¥ per person

🙌🏻Service was great, Seats were limited to only 10-15 seats so you need to wait during a busy schedule

I had tsukemen for brunch. The firm, thick noodles were dipped in a kelp-based broth with the flavors of fish powder and yuzu. It was refreshing and delicious. Ajitama Shinuchi Tsuke Soba, 1,290...
