Summary: Saying that Shigemi Kawahara (known as the "Ramen King") owns this place should be enough. That said I feel like this ramen falls short of its potential. The floury noodles were tasty but didn't seem like a good match for the broth. But the star, as always in really good ramen, is the broth. Tonkotsu broths almost never bad, but most are rather plain. Ippudo's broth has a subtle complexity to it. The chashu, although a minor point for me, was the best chashu I've ever had.
I'm not a big tonkotsu ramen fan, but this was totally worth the 3.5 hour journey.
