Enjoy Toppings at the Holy Land of Pork Bone Ramen

The 'Butanin Kurihigashi Store,' standing in the back alleys of Kurihigashi City, is known as a holy place for pork bone ramen lovers. The rich pork bone soup and the free extra noodle service are the reasons for its popularity.

Rich Pork Bone Soup and a Variety of Noodles

As soon as you step inside the store, you are greeted by the rich aroma of pork bone. The soup is simmered for a long time, condensing the umami flavor of the pork. In addition to the regular noodles, there are over 10 options including whole grain noodles and dragon noodles, allowing you to enjoy various tastes.

Free Extra Noodle! Can it become a Jiro-style with the toppings?

An unmissable feature here is the 'free extra noodle' service. In addition to the free extra large noodle portion, they also provide free extra noodles as many times as you want. Furthermore, there is a topping corner with free vegetables, chili oil, and pickled mustard greens, allowing you to arrange the ramen in a style similar to Jiro-style ramen.

Access and Parking Information

Located along Route 1, it is convenient to visit by car. However, the parking lot is small, so be careful to park in the designated area. During peak hours, it is recommended to wait for the neighboring Spolan's parking lot.

This store, where you can enjoy the true appeal of pork bone ramen, is irresistible to ramen enthusiasts. Why not try to enjoy the infinite variety while devising toppings?

They serve up a wide variety of noodles and several types of ramen. While normally this would be a red flag as that means the restaurant has to prepare multiple broths and they may lack a noodle specialty, I found that the huge bowl of ramen I served to be surprisingly enjoyable. For those unfamiliar, this is often called "Jiro-style," which is an absurdly large portion of ramen topped with a hilarious mountain of soybean sprouts, famous from the chain of Jiro ramen restaurants in Tokyo. I don't particularly like Jiro style, as it typically just means heavy, oil-laden ramen with toppings for the sake of having a ton of toppings... quality be damned. I took the plunge and asked for the "Special Portion." The waiter looked at the cook, the cook sized me up and down and gruffed, "Can you finish it?" I replied affirmatively, and he laughed. What was I in for...? As the waiter brought over the mountain of food (and a side bowl) and placed it on the counter, the other patrons giggled. Could I conquer the mess in front of me? You bet I could. The amount of food was easily two servings of ramen at any other restaurant; for the naysayers, the mountain was definitely not all soybean sprouts. A few slices of deliciously fatty chashu, flavorful (but overcooked) egg, fresh garlic topping, pepper, and a solid, rich broth made consuming it all rather easy. I will admit it was a bit greasy going down, but overall, it was actually quite good. And the value made it unbeatable. As I waddled my full belly over to the check out register, the waiter was amusingly surprised that I finished it. I stumbled to my car triumphantly, but almost regrettably full...

It always smelled delicious and I was curious about it. I was quite surprised to find out that the replacement balls were free! Although the soup was rich, the taste was very light. The flavor wasn't too strong, but the flavor and impact were strong. This may be the first time I've tasted ramen with delicious menma. Even the menma went perfectly with the soup and noodles. Today, I made the chijire noodles medium thick and used chili pepper noodles as a substitute. Again, the chili pepper had some spiciness, but it wasn't too strong and I could really taste the flavor. I will definitely go again!

2024.05 I got the pork bone. When ordering, you can choose the amount of green onions, bean sprouts, and garlic. It was dark and rich, but the soup felt a little grainy. It's a ramen that you either love or hate. Free toppings such as mustard greens and wood ear mushrooms are available, and you can choose from 10 types of noodles, as well as free extra noodles. The price is set so that it feels like the cost is included in the ramen price (lol) There are about 8 parking spaces in front of the store. It's easy to understand because it has a display. Please note that if you park your car for another store, you will be charged a parking fee.
