I’m going to introduce one of my favorite Tonkotsu ramen. Tonkotsu ramen use pork and soy sauce as the base for the soup. Hence it’s usually oily! Rasuta is one of my personal favorite and it’s pure tonkotsu ramen! Oily and yummy!

This place is along the Tokyu Toyoko Line which runs from Yokohama to Shibuya. Hiyoshi (日吉) station is like right inbetween. This is the stronghold of Keio university ^^ (had to introduce one here since I did one for Takadanobaba). Walk straight from the station to the yellow mark on the map. Place is only open 5pm-1am. So don’t even think about going there for lunch.

This is the store front.

The various kind of toppings you can have. From right, chilli paste, ginger, garlic. There’s also black pepper, vinegar and some sauce for rice too.

Here is their basic “Rasuta ramen”.

That’s usually the amount of toppings I add to my bowl.

The basic is ¥600. You can also add more toppings… but that usually involves more ¥. There is also a store special which goes for a little more, but it comes with more char siew (slices of pork), egg, more noodles, more seaweed, more spinach. I usually have the basic with rice. So it’s ¥700 everytime I go. I remember the first time I had this. It was love at first *slurp*.

You know that feeling ^^?
