Left a salaryman job to chase the perfect bowl. Twelve-stool ramen-ya in Shimokitazawa. My tonkotsu takes 20 hours and my patience takes longer. Slurping is a compliment.

The cookbook

Weeknight Shoyu Ramen (No, You Don't Need 20 Hours)1hFree

Weeknight Shoyu Ramen (No, You Don't Need 20 Hours)

My gateway drug. A clean chicken-and-kombu broth you can pull off after work. The gateway to the addiction.

The 20-Hour Tonkotsu (My Life's Work)20h🔒 $6

The 20-Hour Tonkotsu (My Life's Work)

The one that made the queue outside my shop. Cloudy, collagen-rich, borderline illegal. Block out a weekend.

Perfect Ajitama (Soy-Marinated Soft Egg)

The jammy egg that launched a thousand food photos. Six minutes and thirty seconds. Set a timer, this isn't a suggestion.
