This interior is pretty normal for tsukemen these days – is it supposed to appeal to a customer segment, or is it just supposed to be cheap? The target sgement is certainly youngish men – you can get noodles in normal, bigger or huge sizes – tsukemen places tend to be kinda clinical about it these days, so that’s 220g, 330g or 440g at Yasubee – all for the same price.
Soup comes in normal or spicy. There’s ramen on the menu, but it was ‘sold out’, which probably means “We’re not making that ramen crap. Eat some real noodles.”
The spicy soup, voici. The propaganda materials at each seat mentioned something about how the soup includes vegetables, meat and seafood. Usually that makes me think it’s going to be very thick and heavy and rich and hopefully awesome. The non-spicy soup, which I ate, was strangely pretty thin, and quite oily, although the oil is presumably to help it stick to the noodles. There were a few layers to the flavor, with the dominant tone being sweetness. Ordinarily I like sweet things (though ‘like’ is too weak a word); this was unsettling.
This is the 220g noodles, and that’s a very manageable size. These are more eggy, and a bit thinner, and a bit curlier than many of the modern tsukemen versions, most of which are quite udon-like. Definitely a good thing.
