About this place
Diners who ordered the tonkotsu ramen have remarked on the chashu, so tender it falls apart when lifted with chopsticks. Some describe the soup as light yet full of savoury depth, while another found it a little rich. It may appeal if you want tonkotsu with flavour and body rather than sheer heaviness. The menu also includes soy-tonkotsu, salt-tonkotsu, miso, soy, spicy and stamina ramen, alongside the standard tonkotsu. Choose a straightforward bowl or one with garlic; the options let you match your ramen to your mood.
One diner found the garlic in the stamina ramen milder than expected. Reviewers have also noted that fresh garlic and chilli-seasoned leek were available at the table, offering a way to build a bolder flavour gradually. Some have paired kimchi with their ramen, while others enjoyed it as a snack with beer—a handy option if you want to change things up between mouthfuls of noodles.
Seasoned rice is another way to round out a bowl. A diner who ordered it at lunch recalled its pleasant balance of richness and sweetness, and found the portion generous. The menu also lists chashu rice and chashu rice balls, so you can make the pork a side to your ramen or let it take centre stage.
In summer, the menu adds chilled Chinese-style noodles and zaru chuka, chilled noodles served with dipping sauce. One diner reported that the chilled Chinese-style noodles had a firm bite and came with tender chashu. Whether stopping for lunch around Showa-cho or settling in for ramen and beer in the evening, you can choose from seasonal noodles as well as rice dishes.
