About Tonkotsu

Tonkotsu ramen is a rich and creamy noodle soup originating from Japan’s Kyushu region. Its signature feature is the hearty broth, made by boiling pork bones for hours to extract their flavor and nutrients, resulting in its smooth, milky texture. Typically, Tonkotsu ramen includes ramen noodles, tender slices of pork (chashu), green onions, and toppings like nori, soft-boiled eggs (ajitama), and bamboo shoots. While Tonkotsu ramen is celebrated for its bold taste, it tends to be high in fat and sodium, owing to the pork-based broth and seasonings. On the plus side, it provides protein from the meat and eggs and energy from the noodles. Moderation and balance in portion size can help enjoy this flavorful dish while managing its nutritional impact. Tonkotsu is a favorite comfort food that showcases the depth of Japanese cuisine and its love for layered flavors.
