Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Japanese ramen | pork bone broth 🐷 liquid egg

🏠 Ikkousha Tonkotsu Ramen 🗺️ R. Thomaz Gonzaga, 45 - Loja E - Liberdade, São Paulo - SP, 01506-020 🍜 The Authentic Tonkotsu Temple in Liberdade Tucked in Liberdade, "Hakata Ikkousha" is part of a chain that my Japanese friend swears by for authenticity. Last night, post-overtime, I stumbled in at 9:50 PM—no queue (unlike weekends, when it’s packed)! 🥢 Order Like a Pro: The Full Monty Classic Tonkotsu Ramen (completo)：Opted for the "full set" with ajitsuke tamago (Japanese marinated egg), seaweed, bamboo shoots—plus 4-5 thick slices of chashu pork. The egg was perfection: runny yolk that oozed when poked, just how I like it. Broth Breakdown：Creamy pork bone broth was rich but not overly salty (way less than Misoyo). You could see tiny bone marrow bits at the bottom—proof of 8+ hours of simmering. Side Notes：Fried chicken was decent but forgettable; better to pair with an ice-cold Coke—essential for cutting through the broth’s richness. 💰 Bang for Your Buck Under 90 BRL per person for two full-set ramens, chicken, and drinks. In Liberdade’s pricy Japanese food scene, that’s a steal. Perfect for broke office workers craving a hearty late-night fix. 🌙 Late-Night Eater Tips Come after 9 PM to skip the crowd—ideal for post-work decompression. Request "half-cooked egg" in Japanese ("hanjuku tamago") for that perfect runny yolk. #JapaneseRamen #GlobalFoodieJourney
