Tonkotsu Ramen
豚骨ラーメン
Tonkotsu ramen (豚骨ラーメン) is a rich, creamy, and flavorful style of Japanese ramen made from pork bones (ton = pork, kotsu = bone) that are simmered for 12–18+ hours, until the collagen and marrow break down into a luscious, milky broth.
Origin
Tonkotsu originated in Fukuoka (Hakata) on the southern island of Kyushu, Japan. It was created as a quick and hearty meal for laborers, and became beloved for its deep flavor and soul-warming comfort.

The Broth
Our signature tonkotsu broth is rich, creamy, and irresistibly smooth — crafted by simmering pork bones, fat, and trotters at a rolling boil for hours. This slow process releases deep umami and emulsified richness, creating the bold, cloudy flavor our ramen is known for.
