Afuri Yuzu Shio Ramen

Nissin was founded by Momofuku Ando in 1958 after he invented the world's first instant noodle, Chicken Ramen. Headquartered in Osaka, the company went on to create Cup Noodle in 1971, changing how the world eats. Today Nissin remains the global leader in instant noodles.

This noodle comes from Japan, a country with a rich and diverse noodle culture that has influenced instant ramen traditions around the world. Each region brings its own distinctive flavours, techniques, and ingredients to the bowl.

A rich, creamy tonkotsu broth made from simmered pork bones. The long cooking process extracts collagen from the bones, turning the broth milky white and giving it a velvety texture. It is the kind of broth that feels substantial enough to be a meal on its own.

The noodles in this bowl are crafted to complement the broth style perfectly. The texture, thickness, and cooking time are all calibrated so that the noodles and soup work together as a complete experience rather than separate elements sharing the same bowl.

Yuzu is a Japanese citrus fruit that looks like a bumpy lemon but tastes somewhere between a lime, grapefruit, and mandarin. It is rarely eaten whole. Instead, the zest and juice are used to add a bright, aromatic lift to dishes, exactly as Afuri uses it in their broth.

A beautifully executed tonkotsu that proves you do not need a restaurant to get a great bowl of pork bone ramen. The broth is rich without being heavy, and the noodles are perfectly matched. It is the kind of quiet excellence that makes this one a repeat favourite.
