Shio ramen with toroniku pork cheek
The story behind the bowl
The Hokkaido-born Santouka is known for a milky, long-simmered broth and a restrained salt-seasoned bowl. The tender toroniku pork cheek is its most distinctive upgrade when available.
Before you go: Ask whether toroniku is available at the specific Los Angeles branch; menus vary by location.
