If you want to eat real tonkotsu here it is.

I introduce true Tonkotsu ramen in Hells kitchen in NYC.

When I used to live in Japan I went to Akaroren

(Same group of Mentoku) many times.

So I knew this shop is my favorite.

 

This Tonkotsu ramen is kind of plain and right soup with thin noodle.

This is typical real Tonkotsu ramen in Janan.

  

This time I order Hakata genryu ramen.

This is the one I used to eat in Japan.

Because soup is not too heavy I enjoy all the soup too.

If you like right and plain real Japanese tonkotsu ramen here is the one.

EAK ramen. New wave from Yokohama-style ramen.

Are you Enjoying cold weather in NY?

It's bit too cold for jogging outside so I'm a little bit frustrating for that.

I talked with my friends about which ramen is the best in NYC.

My friend said "E.A.K ramen".

So I went last week for my first visit to check my friend's tang is right.

E.A.K = iekei(Japanese) means Yokohama style noodle.

Yokohama is located in close to Tokyo. 

Which is a fusion of southern style noodle soup(tonkotsu pork bro soup) and Tokyo style noodle soup(soy sauce)

 

I order E.A.K ramen(extra noodle) + fried rice. 

Yes, I'm big eater!

 

Fried rice: Not large potion so you can enjoy ramen & fried rice by one person.

This is just in my opinion but noodle is a bit too thick for me, feels like udon but I love the deep and rich soup and half boiled egg.

Kame ramen. Well balanced ramen.

I introduce Kame ramen.

Kame means Turtle in Japanese.

Also, because turtle lives long/many years,

there is hidden meaning in it too.

So they might name kame because this shop wants

to live/survive like kame lives. 

亀＝turtle in Japenese and I think also Chinese too.

I went there around 3 pm so there was no 

waiting and easy to find the seat.

I ordered Tonkostu ramen and also Gyoza(dumpling)

 

This gyoza was really good.

Very thin but was juicy and crunchy

though I'm sure there is a lot of garlic in it

might be better to skip 

if you will have a face to face work after you eat this.

 

I ordered regular Tonkotsu ramen.

This ramen soup is one of the mildest/smooth ones in NY. 

I really love this soup.

You will taste full-bodied and same time kind of sweetness

from the oil of pork and pig's bone. 

Not too salty and feels many layers of the taste

so I enjoyed whole soup!

The noodle itself is wavy and normal thickness.

For me, cha-syu(roasted pork fillet) was bit too oily/fat but 

the pork was soft and juicy too.

This ramen is high-quality and well-balanced.

Price ★★★☆☆ Bit over price for ramen.

Service ★★★★☆ Good!

Taste★★★★☆ I love soup!

Do I want to go again? I think so but there are many ramen shops like here recently.
