Tonkotsu Ramen

Tonkotsu Ramen

　　Tonkotsu ramen is a specialty of Japan, and its most distinctive element lies in the broth. The broth is made by simmering various parts of pork bones over low heat for a long time until it turns into a rich, milky-white soup. Just before serving, a seasoning mix made from eight different ingredients is added. Of course, besides tonkotsu ramen, miso ramen is also a rather unique type of Japanese ramen. The tonkotsu ramen broth is generally divided into two main types: red (akakuchi) and white (shirokuchi). The red broth is bold and dark in color, while the white broth is light and pale. Take a sip and savor it — it’s rich without being greasy, delicious without being overly salty.
