So, we all know kaedama is where select ramen establishments offer extra noodles at a reduced price to go into your leftover soup.

At places like Shinsengumi Hakata ramen, this is a common practice and they even provide you with extra tare, negi, and shoga so you aren’t watering down the experience.

HOWEVER, it’s my understanding that not all restaurants that serve kaedama provide you with extra tare.

So, my question is...what happens if you drink all or most of your soup and then order a kaedama? Will they say no? Will you have to eat soupless noodles?

you get… tare-flavored lo mein? hmm, i’ma try it next time just to find out…

I did this at Asa accidentally, drank most of my soup before ordering kaedama.  Yeah, you pretty much eat tare-flavored noodles.
