"Tsukemen" is a noodle-based dish in which the noodles and the thick broth for it will come in separate dishes. The traditional way to eat this food is by taking a few strands of the noodles, dipping them into the broth and then eating them.

In Fukuoka, ramen noodles are primarily thin and straight; whereas, "tsukemen" noodles are known for their thickness. What can also be noted is that customers cannot generally choose the firmness of their noodles.

Compared to your typical ramen, the broth/soup for "tsukemen" is a bit thicker. Since there is no worry of your noodles becoming soggy, in place of the ramen "kaedama" (second servings) they have the "oomori" (large serving) option. Though, each store has their own unique way of serving.
