So this is the second pork tonkotsu variety offered by Mike’s Mighty Good Craft Ramen – this being the non-spicy version. Let’s see what Wikipedia has to say about this style of ramen –
Ramen soup is generally made from stock based on chicken or pork, combined with a variety of ingredients such as kombu (kelp), katsuobushi (skipjack tuna flakes), niboshi (dried baby sardines), beef bones, pig bones, shiitake, and onions.
- Tonkotsu (豚骨, “pork bone”; not to be confused with tonkatsu) soup usually has a cloudy white colored broth. It is similar to the Chinese baitang (白湯) and has a thick broth made from boiling pork bones, fat, and collagen over high heat for many hours, which suffuses the broth with a hearty pork flavor and a creamy consistency that rivals milk, melted butter or gravy (depending on the shop).
I’m a big fan of this style of ramen so let’s see how it is!

Finished (click to enlarge). Added Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts spring onion, hard boiled egg, chashu pork and shichimi togarashi. The noodles are great – nice gauge and chew. The broth on the other hand was definitely not to my liking. It had a very acrid hit to it that I haven’t expoerienced in tonkotsu before. 1.5 out of 5.0 stars. UPC bar code 081567702170.
