(21) Tonkotsu Ramen @ Izakaya Sozai

Ohhhh yeaaah. This big bowl of Ritsu Tonkotsu Ramen is 100% list-worthy. The miso broth was beautifully murky and it was salty! and creamy! and rich! I could drink a gallon of this broth all by itself. Then, the ramen was perfectly al dente and chewy, yum! Here is some no-brainer advice > get it with pork belly. The pork belly was おいしい, as they say. Next time I'm going I'm doing all the upgrades - pork belly ($2), spicy miso ($1.50), & garlic chips ($0.75) - go big, or go home. If I lived in this neighborhood I would haunt this place weekly that is a guarantee.

P.S. Does anyone have any tips on how to properly eat ramen? I was slurping all over the place, had difficulty maneuvering the chopsticks with the ramen, and  kept spilling the precious miso broth, haaaaaa. In sum, I want to not look like this. Please, help a girl out, thanks.
