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.
Signature Dish
Tsukemen with rich fish-pork broth
Menu Highlights
Tsukemen (signature dipping noodles); Ramen (hot noodle version); Ajitama (seasoned soft-boiled egg); Extra noodle portion (kaedama); Wari-soup (broth dilution for finishing)
Access
5-minute walk from JR Shinjuku Station South Exit. Head towards Takashimaya Times Square and turn into the alley near Tokyu Hands.
Tips for Visitors
Expect a queue of 30-90 minutes, especially on weekends. The line forms before opening at 11:00. Order from the vending machine. Finish your tsukemen broth by requesting wari-soup to dilute it into a drinkable soup.
