The Fuuki Seimenjo noodle company in Kumamoto, with a history of over 50 years, has been crafting over 30 varieties of noodles, including ramen and udon.

While the company has continued its tradition of noodle-making since its establishment, it entered a new phase in its history when it opened a ramen shop in Kumamoto in 2021. Two years later, the “Fuuki Noodle Factory Roppongi” opened in Roppongi, Tokyo, and has quickly risen in popularity ever since.

Their popular “Tsukemen” ordered 250 times a day

Fuuki Noodle Factory Roppongi offers three types of ramen, but 80% of customers opt for their signature “Tsukemen.” In the original Japanese, the name roughly translates to “fresh nodogoshi noodles in a light bonito and kombu broth,” nodogoshi being the pleasant sensation of noodles going down the throat.

“鰹昆布水のどごし生麺,” Tsukemen 1,300 JPY (tax included)

The noodles, crafted from whole grain flour and the renowned waters of Aso City in Kumamoto Prefecture, are served soaked in a light, flavorful broth made with Hokkaido kombu and Kagoshima bonito.

First, savor the noodles alone to appreciate their wheaty flavor and nodogoshi. Then, try them with seaweed salt to bring out the noodles’ natural sweetness.

Eating Tsukemen with seaweed salt

After enjoying the noodles’ natural flavor, taste them with the dipping sauce, a soy sauce-based broth enriched with seafood flavors and a light, umami-rich profile.

Midway through, adding the juice of sudachi, a tart lime-like Japanese citrus fruit, enhances the flavor, offering a fresh and different taste.

After finishing the noodles, mix two to three ladles of the dipping sauce into the light kombu and bonito broth remaining in the noodle bowl and drink it. The transformed, refined taste of the broth is irresistibly delicious and a must-try for first-time visitors.

The freshly boiled cabbage adds a crisp texture, while the generous garlic gives a strong kick to the ramen. It’s best dissolved in the soup or mixed with the noodles.
