Tonkotsu has a delicious umami flavor, but it also has many health advantages over other bone broths. Well, rich, hearty, delectable ramen soup doesn't seem particularly healthy, does it? However, broth made from pork and chicken bones is actually very beneficial for your health.

It's nutritious and delicious By steeping the pork bones for hours, as mentioned before, all the healthy goodness within the bones flows out and marinates the soup. This gives the broth its silky feel and makes each mouthful a decadent experience.

Creamy soul-warming broth full of lip-smacking umami flavor, chewy noodles, and toppings that can include everything from tender fatty pork belly to soft boiled eggs with their golden yolk, nutty-sweet sesame seeds, earthy scallions, and crunchy bean sprouts – Tonkotsu is a sensory delight.

In truth, tonkatsu and tonkotsu are very different. The main similarity is that they both feature pork: Ton translates to pig or pork. But the dishes differ: Tonkatsu refers to crispy fried pork cutlets, while tonkotsu is a type of ramen made from bone broth.
