    Best for

    Hakata Tonkotsu Ramen Ichiban stands two minutes from Okachimachi South Exit under the bustling market tracks of Ameyoko. The kitchen simmers pork head and femur bones continuously to produce a creamy, frothy white tonkotsu broth with strong marrow depth. Ultra-thin noodles can be customized by firmness, from soft (yawarakame) to extra hard (barikata). Sliced pork chashu, finely chopped wood ear mushrooms, and fresh scallions top every bowl.
