Kagoshima black-pork ramen

The story behind the bowl

Founded in 1950, Komurasaki uses kansui-free steamed noodles, generous cabbage and Kagoshima pork in a long-cooked pork, chicken and mushroom soup.

Before you go: The unusual soft noodle texture is intentional; approach it as its own Kagoshima tradition, not a Hakata bowl.
