About Hiroshima Tsukemen (Cold noodles with spicy dipping broth)
In 1954, inspired by something he had encountered in China, Mr. Shingu opened a Chinese restaurant called Shinkaen in Hiroshima City. Its “cold noodles” were popular at the time. These noodles, served with a spicy, chilled broth made with ichimi chili pepper, sesame oil, and vinegar, are said to be the forerunner of today’s Hiroshima Tsukemen. Around 1985, shops specializing in the dish began to appear, calling it “tsukemen.” Around 2001, comments by celebrities helped make it famous nationwide and sparked a Hiroshima Tsukemen boom.
