Boiled for 15 minutes: udon-like ultra-thick noodles coated in a rich seafood and pork bone sauce at this must-visit tsukemen shop

  • Special tsukemen is the signature dish
  • Ultra-thick noodles boiled for 15 minutes
  • Thursday-only aburasoba
  • 2 kinds of chashu
  • Welcoming for solo diners
  • Popular shop with inevitable queues
  • 9 counter seats only
  • Comfortable entirely non-smoking environment

Just steps on foot from Keisei-Yawata Station, Chonan Montaichio is a tsukemen specialty shop that draws queues despite its compact setup of just 9 counter seats. The signature dish is the special tsukemen made with Asakusa Kaikarou's ultra-thick noodles, which are so thick, akin to udon, that notices advise they take about 15 minutes to boil. Fans dip the noodles into the rich seafood and pork bone dipping sauce, enjoy them with 2 kinds of chashu (pork belly and pork shoulder) along with palate-cleansing Chinese cabbage, and finish the meal by adding broth (soup-wari). Diners also enjoy customizing the flavor with table condiments like apple lemon vinegar and daily changing condiments (yakumi). The unique service style includes resting the tsukemen on Thursdays to offer only sweet and savory mitarashi-soy aburasoba. Purchasing a meal ticket before lining up outside ensures a smooth flow, and the friendly staff who carefully explain boiling times and condiments are well-regarded. With many solo diners at the entirely non-smoking counter, guests can enjoy a hearty, voluminous bowl within a budget of under ¥1,000.
