Tonkotsu Ramen

Tonkotsu ramen is a Japanese noodle soup known for its rich, creamy broth made by simmering pork bones for hours, extracting their flavor and collagen. This results in a hearty, opaque, and flavorful soup that is often paired with thin, straight noodles. Common toppings include sliced pork (chashu), boiled eggs, green onions, and sometimes garlic or sesame. Originating from Fukuoka, it’s a popular comfort food celebrated for its savory depth and satisfying texture. The broth’s distinctive milky appearance and intense pork flavor set it apart from other ramen varieties.
