    Best for

    Representing a modern counterpoint to Onomichi's classic pork back fat ramen, Tori Soba Honten focuses strictly on domestic poultry broths. Its signature 'Botteri' chicken broth simmers chicken carcasses and collagen over high heat for ten hours, yielding a thick, velvety reduction that coats the noodles completely. Sliced chicken chashu and seasonal citrus yuzu add bright contrast.
