Kagura-ya

Kagura-ya - Review - Suidobashi - Tokyo - The Infatuation

"The world of ramen is so much bigger than just tonkotsu, and Kagura-ya is here to prove it. Unlike the pork bone-based broths mostly served in the US, Kagura-ya’s ramen is all about chicken and the golden schmaltz that gives a deep savoriness to everything it touches. At Kagura-ya, there are five main bowls to choose from the ticketed ramen machine, but the assari toridobe and noujuku toridoba are our favorites. Assari has a clear, salted chicken broth with pools of shimmering gold from the schmaltz that floats on top. Noujuku’s base, meanwhile, is thicker and tastes just like a soup version of Thanksgiving gravy. photo credit: Julio Koshiishi photo credit: Julio Koshiishi Pause Unmute" - Kiera Wright-Ruiz
