Kiraboshi

This Musashi-Sakai haunt serves up ramen in a decadently thick and rich pork-bone soup. Customers queue up every day at lunch time to sample this delicacy, made by cooking large quantities of pig trotters and heads for a good 30 minutes. The menu includes dishes like tonkotsu-men (¥700), noukou (thick) tsukemen (¥800) and kiraboshi Kumamoto-style ramen (¥750). Servings are topped with cabbage and bonito-flavoured anko bean paste, which can be melted into the soup for a whiff of seafood among the heavy pork flavours.
