Legendary tsukemen shop in Shinjuku known for its rich, creamy fish and pork broth.
Fuunji is a legendary tsukemen (dipping noodle) shop tucked in a quiet alley behind Shinjuku Station. Famous for its intensely rich seafood and pork bone broth, the restaurant has been a top-rated destination since its founding. The thick, chewy noodles are served cold alongside a steaming bowl of concentrated dipping sauce, creating a deeply satisfying contrast of textures and temperatures.
