"Shima was an instant hit when it opened in 2020. Customers lined up for their shoyu and shio ramen, but it was the konbusui tsukemen that put them over the top. The latest trend in tsukemen, cold noodles are served in a bowl with viscous konbusui (konbu seaweed water), along with a small bowl of strong soy-based dipping soup that fills with oceany umami as you dip your noodles. If slightly slimy tsukemen doesn’t sound like your cup of tea, go for the shoyu or shio." - Brian MacDuckston
