About this spot
Tucked into the bustling Nishiki Market Area, this spot serves up hearty bowls of tonkotsu ramen that locals queue for before heading home. The broth is rich and pork-fat forward, perfectly balanced by a generous mound of chashu and fresh green onions.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order your noodles 'matsugai' (medium thickness) to avoid the standard thin strands that dissolve too quickly in this heavy soup.
- Ask for extra garlic oil on the side if you want to cut through the richness of the pork broth.
- Eat immediately after ordering, as the shop often runs out of fresh batches by late afternoon.
