    Recommended order

    Kurosaki-Style Tonkotsu Ramen (唐そば)

    Hours conflict: Hotpepper/Gurunavi 11:00–23:00 daily; RamenDB/Tabelog snippets and a 2026 Instagram post give Mon–Sat 11–21, Sun 11–16 (used, more recent). Building name differs (幸和ビル vs 三信ビル) across sources, same street address. Price band from the 2026 post (1,000–2,000円); Gurunavi shows an old 800円 ramen. X account match is by name and content only (handle is random), medium certainty.
