Looks like we have a spicy tonkotsu variety here – I reviewed one of these a very long time ago and things have changed a little with packaging, so let’s try it anew.
Itsuki Kumamoto Akikara Ramen – Japan
Detail of the packaging (click to enlarge). Unsure whether it contains meat – check for yourself. To prepare, boil noodles for 3 minutes in 500ml water. Add in powder base and stir. Finally, add in oil sachet, stir, and enjoy!
A grip of noodles.
A dry sachet of soup base.
A wet seasoned oil sachet.
Finished (click to enlarge). Added chashu, marinated egg, narutomaki, Lao Gan Ma Spicy Chili Crisp, black sesame seed, Salad Cosmo mung bean sprouts, and spring onion. Noodles are great – straight and with a soft tooth. Broth is luxuriant – pleasantly spicy with a nice rich character and amazing oiliness. Love this one. 5.0 out of 5.0 stars.
