Slurping noodles from a steaming bowl is great, but it's not the only way to enjoy your ramen. In Tokyo, a deconstructed style of the dish called tsukemen has become increasingly popular among Japanese ramaniancs. Renowned noodle master Ivan Orkin of Ivan Ramen is one of a handful of ramen chefs who have started to introduce New Yorkers to the gospel of tsukemen, in which cold noodles are dipped into a bowl of extra-potent broth to soak up flavor. Tsukemen is perfect for ramen obsessives who see noodles as the main event.

I've had this bowl of tsukemen before and it's just okay. What I admire about it though is that he doesn't copy anybody and goes with what he wants in a tsukemen.

Tsukemen is my favorite type of ramen! IN FACT here in Tokyo there are many shops that are now incorporating western ingredients in Tsukemen, I made a video about a fried chicken ramen here!

@SLCclimber 6 жыл бұрын

Now I don't know how to pronounce tsukemen but Mr. Orkin lived in Tokyo for fifteen+ years and ran his own local Ramen shop for ten of those years, so I can imagine he knows how to pronounce it.

@rayage777 6 жыл бұрын

Dylan Camp That makes it a lot worse if he lived there for 15 years and pronounces it like that. The "tsu" is like chicken katsu, the "ts" is pronounced very quickly where the t and the s sound like one letter. You wouldn't pronounce it chicken kas, like he is doing by dropping the "t" and the "u". Maybe if he pronounced tsukemono we could tell.
