🇬🇧 £12 for the Most Authentic Tonkotsu Ramen in Birmingham!✨

While power-shopping at Selfridges, we stumbled upon this unassuming eatery in the food hall - and oh boy, did it deliver the most spectacular culinary surprise! ✨ What started as a quick refuel stop turned into a full-blown "we need to tell everyone about this" moment. 🍜 The Ramen Revelation The manager proudly recommended their signature Tonkotsu Ramen, and from the first spoonful of that creamy, collagen-rich broth, we were transported straight to the ramen joints of Fukuoka! 🗼 The soup simmered for 18+ hours (we asked!) to achieve that perfect milky consistency, with deep umami flavors that lingered beautifully. The hand-pulled noodles had that ideal springy texture - not too soft, not too firm. And the chashu pork? Like butter - tender, marbled slices that dissolved on the tongue. Topped with a jammy marinated egg, crunchy bamboo shoots, and fresh scallions, this bowl was absolute perfection. 🍗 Karaage That Steals the Show Their Japanese fried chicken deserves its own fan club! Each piece featured: • Paper-thin crispy coating that shattered beautifully • Juicy, well-seasoned thigh meat inside • Served with zesty yuzu mayo for dipping At £8, the portion was generous enough for two to share. 💡 Why This Place Stands Out • Authenticity check: The chef trained in Hakata for 3 years. • Value: Comparable to £18+ ramen at specialty shops. • Speed: Ready in <10 minutes despite the complex broth. • Ambiance: Counter seating lets you watch the kitchen maic. #UnitedKingdom #Birmingham #Travel#RamenLovers #HiddenGem #JapaneseFoodUK #BudgetEats #FoodHallFinds
