Kagoshima ramen

(鹿児島ラーメン)

Kagoshima ramen is a variety of tonkotsu ramen prepared in southern Japan's Kagoshima prefecture. It is beloved by the locals, but not so popular in the rest of the country. A base of this ramen is a cloudy tonkotsu broth made with pork bones, enriched with chicken bones, vegetables, anchovies, kelp, and dried mushrooms to make a mixed broth.


Two types of noodles can be used: the thicker ones, influenced by Okinawa, or extra-thin noodles similar to the Taiwanese vermicelli. This mellow, full-bodied ramen pairs nicely with pickled daikon or radishes.
