Best Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen in Toronto

Rich and deeply savory

Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen

What the real thing tastes like

The definitive tonkotsu. Pork bones boiled at rolling boil — not simmer — for 12 to 18 hours until the broth turns opaque white and milky from emulsified collagen and fat. Served with thin straight noodles, two slices of chashu pork, half a soft-boiled egg, and green onions. The kaedama system — adding a fresh portion of noodles to your remaining broth — was invented here. Portions are intentionally small so you order kaedama.
