tonkotsu ramen

FAQ

It's nutritious and delicious. Healthy doesn't have to mean boring. With Tonkotsu ramen, the nutrition lies in its flavourful broth. By steeping the pork bones for hours, as mentioned before, all the healthy goodness within the bones flows out and marinates the soup.
Ichiran is well-known for its tonkotsu ramen, which traditionally uses a pork bone-based broth, but at its Nanba Midōsuji branch, ramen is served using a chicken bone-based broth instead. While it does not have halal certification, no pork or alcohol is used in the preparation. Naritaya is halal-certified.
Tonkotsu is said to be the most popular ramen type outside of Japan and focuses on the flavors of one specific protein: pork. “Tonkotsu is renowned for its creamy, pork-based consistency. 'Ton' means pork, and 'kotsu' means bones,'” Takebe says.
The pork bones are cooked for hours over high heat so the collagen from the bones has time to transform into gelatin. This broth is also rich in minerals as the marrow and fats from the bone release all the good stuff too. The soup has a silky texture and a cloudy coloring – Tonkotsu is truly heartwarming stuff.
Ramen is not inherently unhealthy, but the flavor packet provided in instant ramen does contain high amounts of sodium. Diets high in sodium are associated with an increased risk of developing high blood pressure, a leading cause of stroke and heart disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
