"The signature 'king ramen' is garlicky, cloudy Kumamoto-style tonkotsu (pork) broth with bamboo shoots, julienned mushrooms, and chāshū (sliced roast pork) so lean you'd think it had been working out."

All About Japan

"20 Great Ramens from the Land of Tonkotsu: Komurasaki - It serves Kumamoto ramen that's a perfect balance of tonkotsu soup, roast garlic and thin noodles. The refined soup has nearly no smell, and is satisfying to drink, while the bone broth reveals its flavor slowly. It tastes refreshing and doesn’t leave you feeling heavy even if you’ve eaten the lot. We recommend the special char siu and the Osama Ramen, which comes with a full range of toppings."
