Ramen is our joy and on this trip all I wanted was some noodles to start the day. We stopped in front of the closest place and found a line that no soup, in my opinion, is worth. On the next block we found Tonkotsu and were able to get a table. We didn’t know it was a chain when we went in, though that wouldn’t have been a deal breaker, and sat down.
We had:
Tonkotsu ramen – Pork broth & sea salt base, enriched with lardo. Thinner-cut homemade noodles topped with roast pork belly, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, spring onions, burnt garlic oil and seasoned egg.
Seafood ramen – Chicken broth & sea salt base. Classic homemade noodles topped with softshell crab, prawn tempura, crab meat, bamboo shoots, spring onions, wakame and seasoned egg.
Gyoza - Pork, ginger & garlic
It was exactly what I was looking for even if it wasn’t the best I’ve ever had.
