Tsurugashima, Saitama, Japan｜Kimuraya

Lovely little shop run by a single owner. The chashu pork (チャーシュー) ramen is SO GOOD and has a large quantity of pork. I almost regret ordering it because there was so much meat I struggled to finish it! I ordered the tonkotsu shoyu (豚骨醤油) (pork bone broth flavored with soy sauce). It's thick, rich, and hearty without being too salty. If I hadn't overextended myself with the pork, I would have drank my bowl dry! This shop also offers thick or thin noodles (futomen or hosomen), so you can order based on your preference! I got the thick noodles and they were lovely. Do spare the extra 50 yen to get the marinated egg (味玉), it made my tastebuds stand up and sing. I'll definitely be going back to try the miso ramen and a few of the other toppings! UPDATE: Had the Miso ramen, this time with cabbage and marinated egg as the topping (seriously, that marinated egg is the best 50 yen you'll ever spend)! The miso broth was also fantastic, though personally I prefer the Tonkotsu Shoyu. Despite the regular amount of pork this time, I still struggled mightily to finish my bowl - the servings are just so generous! Next time I'd like to try the Japanese style broth, and maybe the thin noodles...

Very delicious. The soup is very fragrant.

8 p.m. - 2 a.m. Great taste and very reasonable price. Very popular ramen shop!
