Here’s one from the Box From Japan box from March! BoxFromJapan.com is a monthly subscription service – you get 4 neat and very unique bowls of ramen sent from Japan along with a few chopsticks and a little letter! Really awesome – I’ve not gotten any that I’ve reviewed before at this point which is really quite amazing! Today it’s a shiny gold ensconced tonkotsu. Let’s have a look!

The noodle block.
Powder soup base.
A fluffy powder.
The liquid soup base sachet.
Very thick.
The solid ingredients sachet.
Spring onion and a piece of dehydrated chashu pork.
Finished (click to enlarge). The noodles sported a good chewiness and premium gauge; not too thick, not too thin. The broth was a creamy thick tonkotsu which almost seemed a little chowdery to me – still very good. The pork hydrated very well. 4.25 out of 5.0 stars. JAN bar code 4901990334150.
