Menya Enji

Menya Enji is a tsukemen shop a two-minute walk from Higashi-Koenji Station in Tokyo. The noodles are dipped in a thick vegipota broth made from fish and pork stock mixed with a vegetable paste, and diners choose between two types of noodles. On a Saturday at 2 p.m. there was a wait, and customers kept arriving during weekday lunch as well. After buying a meal ticket, diners choose the noodle type and whether to eat the noodles cold or warm, which can make ordering confusing at first.
