Any time I order anything other than regular size basic tsukemen, I run out of the dipping sauce. I find it extremely weird that a ramen shop would sell me a 特製 bowl of noodles and only give me enough sauce for half the bowl, and I end up having to pay extra for more.
A quick search on yahoo seems like Japanese people have never heard of running out of dipping sauce? Which leads me to wonder, am I eating it wrong? Am I not supposed to use that much sauce with each bite?
I'm a little perplexed right now because I just had to ask for more sauce and got told it wasn't free lol
EDIT to add how I eat tsukemen:
I DO dip the noodles in the whole way and swirl it around a bit and then slurp it like regular ramen. And I do it with quite a large amount of noodles (like I go in with my chopsticks and grab a bunch, not just with the tip of the chopsticks). I think this might be why I'm using up more sauce to noodle ratio.
But I should clarify, I only run out of sauce with 大盛り, for example at つけ麺TETSU. The most recent occurrence happened at ラーメン町田商店 with their 特製並盛. This one had tons of lettuce and beansprouts along with extra chashu and nori…
