Sawtelle's tsukemen obsession — Tokyo-trained ramen masters serving a dipping noodle that Angelenos will wait an hour for
Tsujita's Tokyo team brought their tsukemen technique to Sawtelle Boulevard and created a destination that has defined the stretch as LA's most concentrated Japanese food corridor. The tsukemen format — thick, springy noodles served separately from a rich, concentrated dipping broth of pork and chicken — requires patience but repays it completely. The broth is reduced to an intensity that would be overwhelming as a soup but functions as the perfect dipping vehicle for the handmade noodles. The seasonal crab dipping noodles, available when dungeness is running, have generated a dedicated following that returns specifically when they appear on the board.
