👑🐷 King Kogi here with a delicious chicken ramen review with a surprising umeboshi (pickled Japanese plum) twist.
☔️ A cold rainy day spurred me to find comforting, creamy ramen.
Torifuji is the satisfying creaminess you want from Tonkotsu ramen without the heavy-oily aftermath 🙌🏻 I even went for a walk afterwards and didn’t fall unconscious from heavy stomach feelings 🥴
🐓🍜 特濃鶏命湯麺 (my order) The noodles were delicious, medium in size and slightly flat which helped the thick broth cling nicely. A thin noodle would have disappeared in the broth and a super fat noodle would have been overwhelming.
🍃 The umeboshi and shiso added on top were such an excellent palette cleanser between slurps; they balanced with the broth so nicely.

This place is 100% recommended for anyone looking for great food and an authentic Japanese ramen experience. I’ll definitely be returning before the...
Read moreIt says Chicken white broth & I decide to give it a try. Had basic ramen ¥750 & 3 types of add-on toppings at ¥250 consisting of menma, chopped onions, egg, pork. I wished the shop would provide 七味 唐辛子 (7 taste chilli pepper) but there was none.
It was ok, doesn't suit my taste & will not go back for a 2nd visit. Server wasn't too friendly either so that minus another star. This shop is quite easy to miss, along...
