Tokushima-style with the raw egg cracked on top and the sweet ribu chashu — this is a bowl you can't get anywhere else in LA. Darker, sweeter broth. Worth the trip to Sawtelle.
Rare Tokyo import specializing in Tokushima-style ramen — a pork bone and soy broth topped with a raw egg and sweet-stewed pork rib (ribu chashu). The broth is darker and sweeter than typical tonkotsu, with a distinct tare built from tamari and bonito.

Sweet pork rib chashu was incredible. Noodles were a touch soft for my taste. Broth has a tamari-bonito depth that's distinctly Tokushima. Limited seating, expect a wait at lunch.
