    Located in the basement of Nodera Building along Meiji-dori four minutes from Meiji-Jingumae Station Exit 5, Hajime serves hearty tsukemen to Harajuku shoppers. The soup simmers pork bones and chicken frames until gelatinous before infusing dried bonito, mackerel, and sardine powder. Thick, chewy noodles arrive cold to dip into the scalding soup, served with roast pork belly, seasoned menma, and nori.
