Arajin

Arajin’s Miso Tonkotsu Ramen is less about a bold miso flavour than the way miso complements the richness of the pork-bone broth. Diners who have tried it say the thick soup clings well to the medium-thick noodles and goes especially well with rice. The menu lists a noodle portion of 150g. Add toppings such as seasoned egg, Kujo green onions or shredded white onion to suit your taste. Some diners have enjoyed it with seasoned egg and chashu, while others have adjusted the flavour as they eat with the seasonings provided at the table.

For a ramen where the richness of the pork-bone broth takes precedence over miso, there is also Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen. Diners describe it as flavourful, though some find the broth a little lighter than at other ramen shops. The two styles offer a useful comparison if you have a preference for a richer or lighter bowl. Ramen can also be paired with gyoza or a rice dish. One diner who ordered the chewy gyoza and rice with Miso Tonkotsu Ramen singled out the gyoza’s soft, springy texture. Others have enjoyed the gyoza with miso sauce; it is a good option when you want something different alongside your ramen.

Another rice dish, Aburi Chashu Mayo Meshi, comes topped with chashu and mayonnaise. A diner who paired it with Shoyu Tonkotsu Ramen said they enjoyed the combination of seared chashu, mayonnaise and rice. It is an option for anyone looking for a substantial meal of noodles and rice.

The restaurant has counter seating and is open for lunch. Payment is cash only, so be sure to bring cash.
