Tontoro Tenmonkan Main - Kagoshima

Was actually a decent and heart bowl of ramen in the neighbourhood. Open till late, suitable for a good supper. Delicious broth. Pay at the ticketing machine to exchange for a ramen ticket.

Best ramen in the whole of Japan and of course thus in the whole world. When in Kagoshima, this is the #1 place you should go eat!!!

Asides from their great pork cutlet, soup was filled with radish goodness. Plenty of flavors of various dishes

Delicious! Fast and affordable. Pay at the vending machine at the door and give it to the cook. One of the best ramen I’ve had. (And I’m picky!

This is a rich, heavy, luxurious bowl. And yet, I didn't feel it was overwhelmingly rich. The broth is pretty balanced but on the heavy side, and the noodles are good and pretty chewy but nothing really special. I think where this place shines is the toppings. In my opinion, the pork, egg, and little crispy bits on top are absolutely incredible. The pork is very fatty and extremely soft. Personally I love that, but I know some people don't. The seasoned egg though is bar none the best seasoned egg I've ever had in a bowl of ramen. The seasoning is not too strong and the egg yolk has the most rich and incredible flavour... it's the egg of dreams. Perfectly cooked too. No idea why these eggs are so good but HOOOOLY. Do not skip out on this egg. Finally the crispy bits and green onion are just dang good and quality additions. Given the heaviness of the bowl, unless you're really starting, the medium size should be perfect for most people. Overall, I don't think it really stands out as unique Kagoshima ramen, but it's just a quality bowl. 8.5/10
