Tonkotsu ramen

 

Tonkotsu ramen is the soul food of Fukuoka. The name literally means ‘pork bone ramen.

Its signature is the creamy, cloudy white broth, which is made by boiling pork bones for

many hours until the marrow dissolves into a rich, savory soup. It is typically served with thin,

straight noodles and topped with tender chashu (braised pork belly), crunchy wood ear

mushrooms (kikurage), and a soft-boiled marinated egg.

 

A unique part of the Fukuoka ramen experience is the ‘Kaedama’ system, where you can

order a second serving of noodles to finish your leftover soup. You can also customize the

texture of your noodles, ranging from ‘Barikata’ (very firm) to ‘Futsu’ (regular).
