Hiroshima "Kunimatsu" has developed a unique sauce using Japanese soy sauce and miso, adapting the flavor of soupless tantanmen noodles, which originated in Sichuan Province, to make them more palatable to Japanese people. Surprisingly, the recipe for this sauce is publicly available.
The perfect combination of noodles and sauce tastes even better if you mix them 20 times before eating.
The spiciness can be selected from 0 to 4 spices, with 2-3 spices recommended for those who like spicy food. 600 yen is a reasonable price and the speedy delivery of this tantanmen is so popular that the number of tantanmen restaurants in Hiroshima has been increasing due to its popularity.
