Tonkotsu ramen (with side-order of miso paste): 16 / 20

We tried with my friend to go to the famous Yoshimuraya (home of iekei style!) on a sunday evening. Well, that’s not a good idea: at 8 pm, around 30 people were still queuing. Not being in the mood to wait one hour or more, even for an excellent ramen, we switched to another option, a reasonably highly rated tonkotsu ramen in the area.



Broth: A quite creamy and pleasant tonkotsu. You can buy for 20 yens a side-order of karai (spicy) thick miso paste. It actually blended very well with the broth and gave an interesting twist.

Noodles: Barikata, katame, whatever else, up to you. Nothing to say more.

Meat: Two thin slices of salty chashu. I tend to prefer thick chashu, but this was not unpleasant.

Topping: Two sheets of nori, some negi.

A good tonkotsu overall, the miso paste definitely brought something to this otherwise quite classical tonkotsu. Too bad that they only serve garlic paste rather than fresh garlic. I also do not recommend their ‘special sauce’ which did not bring much more flavor than salt.
