The story behind the bowl
Komurasaki helped carry Kumamoto ramen beyond the region. Its gentler tonkotsu, garlic aroma, bean sprouts and firm noodles offer a historically important counterpoint to heavier modern bowls.
Before you go: Use the central Kamitori shop listed here and choose the classic preparation rather than judging it against ultra-rich tonkotsu.
