🍜 Zhanmian TETSU Mitaka Store

Once igniting a frenzy for dipping noodles, this shop is a branch of the famous "Dipping Noodles TETSU" located in Sendagi. Situated on the first floor of the station building at Mitaka Station's south exit, it's not surprising to see long lines even during the day at this popular establishment. The broth is based on pork bones, combined with chicken bones and other animal-derived stocks, and enhanced with seafood stocks made from small dried fish or bonito flakes, creating the shop's exclusive signature soup. It has a rich flavor that strikes a perfect balance, making it enjoyable no matter how many times you eat it. The noodles are made from a unique blend of flour used for udon and flour used for bread, resulting in TETSU's exclusive thick noodles that are elastic and chewy, perfectly complementing the broth. This deliciousness is something you can only find at popular ramen shops. Once the broth cools down, you can place it in TETSU's unique "hot stone" to enjoy the hot broth again. With the remaining broth, you can dilute it to your preferred concentration using the bonito stock from the thermos on the table, allowing you to savor a delicious noodle soup. The broth, made from a large amount of small dried fish and mackerel bonito flakes, perfectly pairs with the medium-thin noodles of Chinese soba, and its nostalgic flavor has received high praise from ramen enthusiasts.

Reputed as a pioneer of the dipping noodle craze, this renowned restaurant serves dipping noodles made with a rich broth of pork bones and seafood, paired with perfectly chewy noodles for an exquisite taste. If the broth cools down, you can add a "hot stone" to keep it warm. Ramen lovers can also dilute the broth to create a dish of Chinese soba noodles.
