Huunji Shinjuku

This popular shop, located underground in the Shinjuku Station South Exit area, specializes in rich seafood x chicken paitan tsukemen. The double soup, a blend of chicken paitan and seafood, is rich yet boasts a refreshing aftertaste. Stirring in the fish powder piled in the center instantly elevates the aroma. The medium-thick straight noodles, crafted by a former Italian chef, are delightfully chewy and elastic, offering a substantial presence that perfectly complements the rich soup. Large portions are free, and the final soup-wari (broth dilution) is self-service. Despite being a highly popular spot frequently listed in "Top 100 Shops" and known for its long queues, the high turnover rate means you can often get in surprisingly smoothly. The touch-panel ticket machine features photos and multi-language support, making it easy to order even for first-time visitors. Business hours may change, or the shop might close early if the soup runs out, so we recommend checking their official website (https://www.fu-unji.com/ - multi-language supported) before your visit.

1. **Before Entering (If there's a queue)** Upon arrival, please first join the end of the queue, which may be formed outside the shop or in the aisle inside. 2. **Enter & Order** After entering, please purchase your meal tickets from the touch-panel vending machine located immediately to your left. "Tsukemen" is our signature dish, and a large serving (大盛) is available free of charge. Electronic payment methods such as Suica are also accepted. 3. **Seating & Receiving** Once you've purchased your meal tickets, hand them to a staff member, who will guide you to an available counter seat. Please take a seat and await the arrival of your ramen. 4. **Other (e.g., Soup-wari, if unique shop procedures exist)** After finishing your Tsukemen, you can enjoy our self-service "wari-soup" (broth for diluting). Simply pour it from the pot provided on the counter and adjust to your preferred strength.
