about this ramen: kazuo yamagishi was the first person to offer tsukemen on a menu at legendary shop higashi ikebukuro taishoken some 50 years ago. however, in the last 20 years, it’s become extremely popular in japan, largely for its super-rich, uncompromising flavours. tsukemen, basically, is deconstructed ramen. but don’t let that put you off. unlike most deconstructions, this one exists for a reason - the noodles are shocked in cold water and served at room temperature, allowing the diner to consume their meal a little more slowly than with a bowl of hot, steaming ramen. it makes for a great summer bowl. this variation owes more to legendary modern shops like tomita or ganjya than the more old school shops, using pork, chicken, niboshi and saba-bushi to create a super-decadent broth to complement the huge portion of thick noodles. delicious, and not for the faint of heart.

Let customers speak for us
Although there was a small error with the order, the Matsudai team contacted me straight away and gave me a voucher (which was incredibly gracious of them). What came wasn't strictly Gyokai miso but as always it was incredible. The ramen kits are incredible quality. If you're considering ordering just do it. You will not regret it.
Arrived when expected and fantastic tastes .Consistently good each time I’ve ordered
Eggs are always well cooked and marinated, never had issue, my suggestion is to use it straight away and avoid freeze it, did it once and wasn’t a great idea
Cannot fault it, never eaten at Matsudai restaurant but the ramen via post beats any ramen I've ever had elsewhere.
Really easy instructions to follow, and delicious! Cheers butt
The bowls are truly superb very high quality and looks beutiful, however don't get the chopsticks or spoons, they are far less quality than the bowls and not worth the money.
I bought a few kits for a birthday gift. The team were really helpful in quickly responding to my query on ingredients. We were really impressed with the quality of the kits and the depth of flavours.
