Tontoro ramen is a popular ramen place in kagoshima area, and we are staying in a hotel very closeby, so we gave it a shot around 10:30 pm on saturday. We took the last two seats at counter by the entrance, and the restaurant was packed by the locals except one group of taiwanese tourists.

We were greeted with two ice water. Hubby and i both ordered their best selling ramen, the soup was greasy buy yummy, and the noodle was chewy. I honestly cannot say i understand the beauty of kurobuta since the pork slices do not taste particularly good for me. I, however, really love their complimentary marinated radish on the table, which tastes similar to what they would give you in korea if you order fried chicken there lol! The portion was not big, and we paid 1680 yen for two bowls. We were there for probably only fifteen to twenty minutes. For paying, just walk to the cashier close to the kitcken, make sure not to block the path like i did lol.

When we left, there were probably 10 locals waiting in line to eat. It looks like a popular place for people to get some food after they get somewhat drunk too lol. I would recommend this place for a quick bite, but their ramen actually isn't overly amazing for me.
