No. 17The one bowl to order
The tori paitan: creamy chicken broth, duck chashu and thick noodles
The San Francisco branch of a Tokyo ramen name, MICHELIN Plate-listed; the broth is rich enough to coat the spoon.
Make it at home
Tonkotsu ramen, the creamy pork-bone kind
12 hr broth (1 hr hands-on), 15 min to serve · 6 bowls. Hakata's ramen: pork bones boiled hard for hours until the broth turns white and creamy. It's a weekend project; the broth freezes, so make a big pot.
