Located in Tokyo Character Street, this spot popularized tsukemen (dipping noodles) with its incredibly thick, rich pork and fish broth.

Signature
Tokusei Tsukemen, cold, chewy noodles served with a hot, concentrated dipping broth.

We visited Rokurinsha on a weekday, and the queue was surprisingly manageable. The staff kept the line moving smoothly and everything was very well organized. The tsukemen was outstanding. The noodles were wonderfully chewy, the broth was rich and deeply flavorful, and the combination was simply addictive. I couldn't stop eating. Don't miss the chili condiment in the serving container on the table—it made the broth even more delicious, adding a balanced heat and extra umami. Easily one of the best tsukemen meals I've had in Japan and absolutely worth the visit. One tip: order the small size. The portions are huge, and even though I normally eat quite a lot, I still couldn't finish the small bowl here. 🌶️🍜✨

A must visit if you love rich, flavorful tsukemen! Even at 8:30 PM, the line at the Tokyo Station Ramen Street branch was about 30 minutes long, totally worth it. Their signature seafood & pork bone dipping broth is salty, thick, and aromatic. On its own it’s heavy, but paired with their ultra thick, springy noodles, it’s just perfect. The broth clings beautifully to the noodles, and the thick cut chashu, soft boiled egg, nori, and green onions make it a hearty and satisfying bowl. Don’t miss the wari soup at the end, diluting the leftover broth into a lighter clear soup is the traditional (and very satisfying) way to finish. I also tried the ramen, which is lighter but still tasty. That said, if you love bold, heavy flavors, the tsukemen is definitely the highlight. Rokurinsha’s tsukemen is truly next level. Worth the wait!

Come at around 7 pm friday, wait for around 30 mins The tsukemen is worth the hype ! I ordered Tsukemen special with fresh shichimi - It was very delicious. All the topping goes well with the soup. I really liked the fresh shichimi - it added a unique flavor and refreshing taste to the soup. Overall I really enjoyed this ! Would revisit if possible ** Tokyo station is super complex, make sure you exit the right exit or else you need to walk 10 mins more like me lol

Good ramen and tsukemen. Tsukemen noodle is more thick than ramen noodle. Both taste good. You need to take the special tsukemen which has pork and egg. We need to queu to eat here at 7pm. The resto is very small and pack. The table for eating is also small. If you get counter table it would be better. You ordered the food by vending machine and paid up. It is located at Tokyo Ramen Street at Tokyo Station.

Even on a weekday morning, there's a line, so you know it's good. The tsukemen is the best seller, and the broth is deep and flavorful. The thicker noodles pair perfectly. I wish the noodles were actually served warm/lukewarm instead of cold. Service was very efficient. You order at the machine before sitting down. Prices were reasonable.
