The pork broth of tontro ramen is very rich! The thick and wavy noodle can hold more soup and carry full flavor into the mouth! This is the best ramen for people who love thick type ramen! Topping is simple, but it’s heavy enough to satisfy your hungry stomach!

This is the thickest chicken broth that I have ever had! What makes the ramen so special is the garlicky soup and grated daikon radish that tastes powerful and so delicious! Thick wavy noodle and rich broth is the characteristics of ramen from Sapporo, Hokkaido.

The noodle is thin and straight and fatty chashu melt in your mouth! They have unique menu like lobster ramen and also typical appetizers. Get Fried chicken, they are so crispy and juicy!

This ramen restaurant by the Iron Chef Morimoto has a lively vibe with nice decor and music, and the service is friendly and quick. The tonkotsu soup is thick, and the chashu is tender. Definitely perfect with beer and sake!
