What kind of ramen does Kashiwa Ramen serve?

Accepted Answer

Kashiwa Ramen specializes in handcrafted Japanese ramen built around two signature broths. The tonkotsu broth is stewed over high heat until it reaches a creamy, collagen-rich white finish, while the kombu soup uses a wafu-dashi made fresh per order with kombu and shiitake mushrooms strained through a coffee filter. You can pair either broth with an ultra-thin Hakata-style noodle or a medium-thick wrinkled noodle. The restaurant also features a rotating seasonal ramen menu alongside sides like karaage chicken and fries.
