tonkotsu (Page 2)
Recreating all the restaurant’s famous touches, including the serving of food from behind the bamboo curtain.
We’d meant to compare French tonkotsu with Japanese tonkotsu, but we couldn’t resist trying a brand new kind of ramen!
We’re equal parts intrigued and scared as we try this local version of Japan’s favorite noodle dish.
Ramen lovers in Japan will have something to be excited about this Friday, October 16. Popular ramen chain Hakata Ippudo is celebrating their 30th anniversary that day and will be offering complimentary bowls of ramen at 30 select locations. That’s right, we’re talking FREE RAMEN here, and come the 16th, we know there’ll be plenty of customers waiting for their bowl of steaming pork-broth noodles!
