By far, hands down, I have eaten the best ramen in all of Japan. Not only is the Tontoro Kurobuta (black pig) ramen amazing but the gyoza dumplings are also made from black pig with crushed pepper and topped with spring onions. You must eat this ramen if you go to Kagoshima! From 2015 this Ramen was in the top 3 finalist for best ramen for 2 years running.. I have not tasted #1 or #2 but for me this place is my favorite. I am huge fan of this shop because of the location, great staff and jaw dropping taste of the rich and creamy tonkotsu-style (pork bone broth). — Hokkaido/Sapporo, they have Miso butter ramen which will be my second favorite but that is a separate blog that I will leave for later.
