ASCII Gourmand The strong aroma and rich flavor of pork bones are unique!Ramen Kiraboshi (Musashino, Tokyo) [ZATSU's Ossu Noodles in Musashino, Tama] 95th

There is a shop that has a signboard of "Tokyo's richest tonkotsu ramen".

I'm not sure what it should be called "Tokyo's richest", but if you come to this shop and eat ramen, you should be convinced.

The shop is "Ramen Kiraboshi", which is about a 4-minute walk from the south exit of "Musashino Sakai" station on the JR Chuo Line.

The scent of pork bones floating around is a landmark !? "Ramen Kiraboshi"

His husband, Nohhiro Hoshino, has been eating ramen from all over Japan since he was a student, and advanced to the final at the "TV Champion 6th Ramen King Championship". Furthermore, he is a hardcore ramen freak who has a history of publishing ramen books as a member of "Musashino Tama Ramen Dan" formed by ramen freaks in the Tama area. He is also one of the ramen shop owners.

With an eye on becoming a ramen shop owner, such a husband worked part-time at the popular Shinjuku store "Kamado Shinjuku Main Store (closed)" when he was a student. I decided on. After that, he trained at the famous Chofu restaurant "Takechan Niboshi Ramen" and gained experience points, but he thought that it would be meaningless to use the same kind of seafood as the surroundings, so he sealed the seafood and repeated trial and error on his own. With the pork bone ramen that I made, I opened "Ramen Kira Hoshi" on May 15, 2004.

"Tonkotsu ramen"

The original taste-changing item "bonito bean paste" is topping by default

From the beginning of the opening, we have provided pork bone ramen with high concentration and originality, and by melting the topping called "Katsuo 餡", the rich pork bone is transformed into rich seafood pork bone, a new "double taste" It became a hot topic as a pioneer using style and became a popular shop.

Kiraboshi's popular menu "2 kinds of char siu pork bones"

"Kiraboshi" has established a solid position as a popular restaurant of tonkotsu ramen that represents Tokyo, but without being content with its popularity, it just confronts tonkotsu and has evolved further in the last few years and is drawing attention again. It is a store.

The most important factor that attracts the attention is the strong "smell"!

Recently, it is also called "pork bone smelt", but "Kiraboshi" has a huge impact anyway!

However, it is not the "smell" of pork bone blood or meat, but the "aged odor" of pork bones cooked by the recall manufacturing method using three barrels after careful preparation such as draining blood and boiling. However, it is not the one that has become odorous, but the strongest aged pork bone soup that has been "smelled" after repeated research!

I don't think it's as simple as "smell" = "umami", but this aged odor has a definite taste, and it's thick and thick enough to make your lips sticky, and it's super rich. Although it is surprisingly non-greasy and easy to eat, it is addictive and you can't get rid of it if you get hooked.

Homemade noodles that are popular for their unique freshness

Not only the soup but also the noodles are homemade, and you can enjoy the elasticity and powderiness without regret, and it matches the rich pork bone soup.

The most popular "2 kinds of char siu pork bones" is a juicy rose roll that is big and thick and has a lot of flavor and is soft and heavy enough to crumble just by holding it with chopsticks, and low-temperature cooked shoulder loin. You can enjoy two types of char siu!

"Red tonkotsu ramen"

The default "Tonkotsu Ramen" and "Two Kinds of Char Siu Dotonkotsu" are not so noticeable because they are the main axis, but other menus are also excellent!

"Red Tonkotsu Ramen" has a well-balanced taste that complements the umami and spiciness by adding spiciness to the soup that has a slightly refreshing taste with the addition of seafood taste to the rich pork bones.

You can choose from 4 levels of spiciness, "spicy", "spicy", "super spicy", and "yaba spicy", so you can enjoy spicy mania!

Change to "Kira Hoshikaze Kumamoto Ramen" for an additional 100 yen!

"Kiraseifu Kumamoto Ramen" that can be eaten by purchasing "Change to Kumamoto Ramen".

You can enjoy a high-impact cup of rich pork bones with three types of garlic taste: mar oil, fried garlic, and raw garlic!

Separate topping menu "Changero"

Put it on ramen and it will look like Jiro!

"Changero" is a boiled cabbage and bean sprout topped with soy sauce-cooked lard and chopped garlic.

If you put this on ramen, the strongest pork bone ramen with Jiro style taste will be completed!

Limited menu provided so far (partial)

The limited menu is also unique! None of them have lost the “Kiraboshi” character, so it is one of the pleasures for fans.

Collaboration ramen with Kagetsu Arashi "Gingira Hoshi"

GLOBEAT Japan's "Ramen Kagetsu Arashi" offers many collaboration ramen with famous stores, and the origin of this is "Kiraboshi".

With the hit of "Gingira Hoshi" provided in 2009, the collaboration with famous stores became established, and even though it was a chain store, the brand "Kagetsu Arashi" became a prominent figure among freaks.

"Two kinds of char siu pork bones" provided by Kagetsu Arashi

Last year, through the second collaboration in 12 years, we offered the signature menu "2 Kinds of Char Siu Tonkotsu". We have created a ramen that is suitable for the masses but that you can enjoy the "aged odor".

You can even enjoy it online!

If you use the ramen mail order site "RAMEN STOCK", you can get "Kiraboshi" "2 kinds of char siu pork bones" at home.

There is a note that other ordered ramen does not have, "Please note that the inside of the room smells when making ramen", and the aged odor actually spreads throughout the room and makes me laugh. If you can't go to the store far away, please try this.

Whether it is "aged odor" or "pork bone odor", the strong odor is divided into two, and it is not a ramen that everyone likes to eat.

However, if you love tonkotsu ramen, you should try it once and get hooked on it. It's the strongest tonkotsu ramen, so please come visit Kiraboshi!
