Hidechan tonkotsu ramen
The story behind the bowl
Hideto Kawahara opened Hidechan as his own expression of a family ramen lineage. The soup keeps Hakata’s pork-forward soul while feeling slightly cleaner and more modern than its parent tradition.
Before you go: Pair a firm first portion with one kaedama rather than ordering a large bowl at once.
