Dogenzaka Mammoth — Restaurant in Tokyo

Hands down one of the best tsukemen we've ever had in Tokyo. Fish-based dipping noodles that are thick with awesome bite. Not too chewy but just enough to be a pleasure to eat.

We have a favorite tsukemen place that's very similar near where we live and this place is undoubtedly better. Recommended by my wife's brother, really glad we checked it out the next time we were in Shibuya.

As the noodles are awesome, I'd recommend upgrading for extra noodles (oomori) for JPY 50. Well worth it. They'll ask you to pick from two noodle types. They'll recommend the one on the right called daihyoumen, make sure you go for that.

The dipping soup base comes with really good chashu pork slices as well as menma (bamboo shoots). I'd also get an egg as well which was pretty good. The soup itself is thick with a strong fish base and a noticeable lemon zest to cut through it a bit.

Price is reasonable for the high quality and being near to the center of Shibuya.

If you're any kind of Japanese noodle fan and looking for a local favorite, definitely try this place. You may need to wait outside around peak times, it was full when we first arrived on...

Very good ramen, borderline excellent. Broth is thick and reach in flavor, without too much bells and whistles. Pork was tender, cut in thick slices, and very fatty. You can choose between 2 different types of noodles, soft and hard. I am not sure what is the difference in ingredients, but soft ones are more yellow, while hard ones are more brown. My only issue, and hance no 5 🌟, was the taste of the noodles. I opted for thick ones (and almost everyone else around me went for those). They are thick and firm, but they had an egg flavor that was too strong for me. You can choose the amount of noodles in 3 sizes, around 200gr, 300gr, and 400gr. I would say that 300gr is a right measure.

Place is very small, 10 people can fit inside. Usually there is a line of several people outside. But it goes relatively fast. Prices are standard, around ¥1000 for a...

I visited this restaurant 4 years ago and I am glad to say that the quality is still amazing and it deserves all the recognition it has. The chewiness of the noodles combines superbly with their thick and meaty broth. The soft boiled egg is cooked perfectly and is marinated with a lot of flavours. Every time you have a slurp of their noodles dipped into the broth, there's a surge of this meaty flavour bursting in your mouth and it is so addicting. The cha siu is also soft and flavourful. Do keep in mind however that the store is very small, only 10 seats or so inside, and it is also popular which is a terrible combination. You usually have to line up for 15-30 minutes but they take your order in advance so the moment you get a seat inside the restaurant, you...
