1/3 https://t.co/OXIS3tkpkx
Translator notes:
TN: Tsukemen is a type of dipping ramen, where the noodles are served on the side of the broth, and you dip the noodles into the soup instead of eating them from the soup. Typically the broth is more concentrated.
— kou~pen~chan!! (translations/翻訳) (@koupenchan_yaku) June 22, 2024
I love tsukemen.
