Last update :

Kurotei, founded in 1957 in Kumamoto City, offers a continually evolving Kumamoto ramen experience. Their creamy, cloudy pork bone soup is paired with fragrant, charred garlic oil, maintaining the tradition of Kumamoto ramen while offering a one-of-a-kind taste. The pride of their soup is the use of low-fat pig's head bones, giving it a rich yet refreshing aftertaste. The charred garlic oil, a defining feature of Kurotei, is meticulously crafted by dedicated artisans, accentuating the deliciousness of the soup. The homemade medium-thick straight noodles are perfectly smooth and chewy, complementing the soup. The menu also includes homemade chashu and soft-boiled eggs marinated in a secret sauce, enhancing the ramen's flavor.

The most popular and classic menu item is the "Egg Ramen," created by the original proprietor who loved eggs. It's a luxurious dish featuring two rich, yolky eggs from a local egg farm and shoulder loin chashu. For those seeking authentic Kumamoto ramen, their standard "Ramen" topped with charred garlic oil, homemade medium-thick straight noodles, specially cooked chashu, green onions, wood ear mushrooms, and seaweed is recommended.

    湯頭味道特別帶有一點點的焦香，店裡的水餃也是很有水準。
