風雲児 新宿本店 (Fuunji in Shinuku)
The author visits Fuunji, a tsukemen shop in Shinjuku, which is closed from 3:00 to 5:00 for preparation. They order tsukemen and are impressed by the massive line and rave reviews. The soup is filled with layers of fish flavors, with the essence of roasted fish skin giving it a gold medal. The author plans to return if time permits.

I'm currently breaking down the Top 100 #hyakumeiten #百名店 shops from around Japan. This one is 84/100 on the Tokyo list.
This post was generated from my writeup over on the #ramenadventures website. For all my #ramen posts head over there. Links are in the bio. Let's #slurp
Soup is full of Umami an and not too salty, loads of meat and vegetables in it.
Noodles are on thicker side and fully cooked.
Excellent Tsukemen
RAMEN BEAST:
Unlike most ramen masters, the creator of Fuunji, Miyake-san, never served an apprenticeship in another famous shop. After spending years systematically sampling many of Tokyo's best ramen shops, he simply decided that he had what it takes to launch a place of his own. His creation has been regarded as one of the top tsukemen destinations... More

RAMEN BEAST:
Unlike most ramen masters, the creator of Fuunji, Miyake-san, never served an apprenticeship in another famous shop. After spending years systematically sampling many of Tokyo's best ramen shops, he simply decided that he had what it takes to launch a place of his own. His creation has been regarded as one of the top tsukemen destinations in Shinjuku for years.
Ramen is also on the menu here, but if you look around you'll see 90 percent of the customers slurping down Fuunji's signature tsukemen. Miyake-san runs his shop methodically - there are four to five busy staff members working in a space about the size of a typical two-man ramen kitchen. Each apprentice has one or two jobs to do and that is all they do. Mikaye-san himself mans the noodle station. He sifts out his specially ordered noodles, watches them boil, and serves them into the bowls by hand.
The noodles are wonderful, but the star here is the soup - rich and creamy, without any overbearing heaviness. Each bowl gets a dollop of fish powder that makes the soup even silkier once you mix it in.
Although pork chashu comes as a topping, the soup is made only with chicken carcasses, katsuo, and konbu.
