"Try the famous Hiroshima tsukemen at this simple street-corner eatery. Tsukemen is a rāmen -like dish in which noodles and soup come separately. This is the original outlet; the chain has spread across the country."

Chris Rowthorn

"A good place to sample another famous specialty of Hiroshima, the Tsukemen, a bowl of ramen served with soup."

Stephenie Harrison

"Though the dish sounds simple enough, the spiciness of the accompanying sauce can be customized based on your own preference and some claim that the dish can be addictive. After one meal there, I can see how this might be true, as it has been weeks since our last fix and hardly a day goes by when I don’t think of them and wish I could sit down to another bowl."

Kaitlyn Mah

"The final consensus was that Tim’s cold tsukemen was better. I can imagine eating it on a hot summer’s day, it would be really refreshing. I like how they give you paper bibs since there is a lot of splashing when you dip your noodles into the soup."

Ryohei Kuroda

"Bakudanya is a Tsukemen (Hiroshima style spice noodle) restaurant. Tsukemen is cold & spicy noodle with many vegetables. It’s one of the specialty of Hiroshima, so you should try this too."

Benjamin Weber

"The clear noodles differed from the cabbage and other toppings only in texture, as everything was light and took in the sesame flavor of the soup. It takes a special kind of spice to leave me feeling good and my stomach feeling intact after a full meal of tsukemen."

Eric Eto

"This Hiroshima-style tsukemen is definitely refreshing, and a good alternative to hiyashi-chuka."
