    Thank you for sharing insight about Tanmen and Ramen! I was curious about Tanmen ever since I saw it on an episode of Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories. I really thought it was a variety of ramen. It didn’t occur to me that it was entirely a different noodle dish.

    I hope to get to eat a bowl of Tanmen sometime ahahaha 🙂

      Thank you for commenting!
      Tanmen is similar to ramen in appearance, so even Japanese people, many think of it as a variety of ramen!
      In fact, I too assumed so before 🙂
