Bowl of thick noodles beside a separate dipping broth and sliced pork on a table.

tsukemen

Japan · East Asia

Short description
A ramen-shop style built around dipping: noodles stay separate while the broth is stronger than a normal soup.
Ingredients
Ramen noodles are served apart from concentrated broth, often with pork, egg, menma, nori, scallions, and citrus.
Cultural note
Separating noodles and broth keeps texture central, letting diners dip each bite and control how much rich soup clings to it.
Common misconception
It is not just ramen served in two bowls; the broth is usually more concentrated because it is meant for dipping.
