This rainy season, there is no smell more warming than a big hot bowl of ramen set before you.
Ramen is a Japanese adaptation of Chinese wheat noodles. The word ramen is a Japanese transcription of lamian, a type of Chinese noodle. Ramen can be broadly categorized by its two main ingredients: noodles and broth. A wide variety of ramen exists in Japan, with geographical and vendor-specific differences, from the miso ramen of Hokkaido to the tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen of Fukuoka Prefecture on the Kyushu island.
In case you haven’t been indoctrinated into the wonderful world of ramen, Tonkotsu broth is the Holly Grail of noodle soup broths. This broth is milky white and unctuous, which is the result of boiling pork marrow bones and fat with several seasonings for many hours to ensure the rich pork extract and hearty flavor.
Now you can savor P400-worth of the most famous Tonkotsu Ramen at IKKORYU FUKUOKA RAMEN.

Ajitama Tonkotsu (P380)
The ramen soup base is intensely porky, opaque pale broth with rich, buttery texture of light cream and seasoned with special soy sauce which is crafted with IKKORYU FUKUOKA RAMEN’s traditional secret recipe. It is served with thin, straight and bouncy noodles (freshly made, using premium flour imported from Japan), and a big slice of sweet and juicy, melt-in-you-mouth-tender pork belly or Chashu (that is surely achieved through a stringent cooking process). Lastly, it is topped with aji tamago or a perfect soft-yolked soy-sauce tinged egg, with a handful of thin-sliced green onions, ninniku or toasted grated garlic, thin slices of kikurage (wood ear) and a sheet of nori (dried seaweed). Surely, you couldn’t ask for a more satisfying meal to eat with this IKKORYU Signature dish.
THE BASIC: Ikkoryu’s Original Tonkotsu (P330) is a hearty Tonkotsu ramen garnished with Chashu, green onion, bamboo shoots, wood ear and dried seaweed. The Aburi Chashu Tonkotsu (P400) is an original Tonkotsu ramen topped with generous slices of Aburi (means lightly grilled) Chashu.
HOT & SPICY: A take on a Szechuan favorite, Tantan Tonkotsu (P380) has a spicy zest, warming and richly savoured with minced pork plus Ikkoryu’s special shoyu sauce, sesame and chili oil; while the Spicy Tobanjan Tonkotsu (P380) has spicy Tobanjan paste, resulting in an absolutely appetizing and wholesome flavor.
HOUSE SPECIAL: The Black Garlic Tonkotsu (P380) is made of Tonkotsu soup mixed with mayu or special roast garlic oil. An enriched Tonkotsu soup with special blended quality Miso paste is the Miso Tonkotsu (P380). And a spice experience in ramen like no other is the Yuzu Tama Tonkotsu (P380), flavored with yuzukosyo, one of the spices that the Kyushu Region of Japan is known for.
