Tonkotsu Ramen Broth (19 Fl oz) Concentrate, Rich & Creamy Pork Soup Base, Authentic Japanese Ramen, Made in USA, 100% Natural, No MSG, Pack of 10

The Kitchen Kurume ramen broth concentrate is fantastic. It’s very easy to use and creates a rich, flavorful ramen broth without being overly salty like many packaged soup bases. What I liked: Simple to prepare Great, authentic ramen flavor Not overly salty Because it’s a concentrate, you can control how strong you want the broth A little goes a long way I really appreciate being able to adjust the strength of the broth depending on how rich I want the soup. I used it to make a quick ramen bowl with noodles, vegetables, and a soft-boiled egg, and the flavor was excellent. It’s also versatile enough to use as a base for other soups or noodle dishes. Overall, this is a high-quality, convenient ramen broth that I will definitely be buying again.

Every time I open up one of these little liquid packages to make some Ramen I think I need to write a review. This stuff is great. Like absolutely great. It has such a deep and rich umami flavor with ginger and scallion all those other things you think about with delicious Ramen broth all in this little packet. To make it, I put a pot of water on the stove, I add in the liquid from this packet, and some frozen handmade noodles from the Asian store. I drop in an egg in the shell to let it soft boil while it cooks, I throw in some fish balls and squid balls and lobster balls, some vegetables and just let it go for five or six minutes. I top it with some freshly sliced scallions, a few sesame seeds, and a little sesame oil. It makes an absolutely terrific Ramen bowl. A box of these sauces has like 20 in there so it’ll last you a while. But I know as soon as I’m out I’m ordering again. This is an excellent product!

I love tonkotsu broth and often enjoy this without anything added (except unflavored collagen peptides) but I have also used it for a base for ramen and even a braised pork I made in the crockpot and it is incredible. My only word of caution is that it’s very concentrated, one pouch is more like 3-4 servings of just broth—a little goes a long way and it’s definitely salty if not diluted sufficiently. That says, the flavor has ruined me for all other broth, 10/10 Highly Recommend!!

I bought this about a month ago and just had a chance to try it this evening. All I can say that it tastes so close to the Tonkutso Ramen in the restaurant. Very flavorful and the texture is exactly that of the restaurant. I am not being paid to do this review. Now, I can save about $22 per bowl. I buy the noodles in the Asian store, add hardboiled eggs, dried seaweeds, fried garlic and bean sprouts - an authentic ramen bowl.

Best ramen broth I have found, BY FAR! Yes, a little pricey, but very good and no MSG listed in ingredients. This broth concentrate can be diluted with water to your preference of saltiness. I usually use this to add to noodles and some leftovers for a very quick and easy, but delicious dinner after work.

This has an amazing flavor. As I was adding the packet to a cup and I tried a small part. I knew immediately that it was going to be good. And sure enough after adding the water to it. It was an amazing broth. If you like tonkotsu ramen then this is a good broth and is easy for making tonkotsu ramen at home.

Delicious! Our family loves ramen. This is a great at home option along with fresh noodles of our choice. The broth is just a tad salty for our taste but diluting + adding in all the other extras (pork/swirly fish cake), corn, mushroom, bamboo shoot, spinach, soft boiled egg makes enough for 2 bowls of ramen. Excellent!

I'm so sorry, I wanted to love this! It was really savory but the broth is quite bitter with the amount of water they recommend. The ginger flavor is really strong. At the ramen restaurants I ask for them to take the ginger off because the strong taste overpowers the delicate, savory smoothness of the pork broth. I do love ginger in other contexts, in stir fries, curries, on sushi. I've had a really delicious ginger and scallion umami oil for soup dumplings (Mila brand) Usually the ramen broth at restaurants isn't infused with the ginger. The ingredients say they used powdered ginger, and dried herbs and spices tend to have a much more powerful flavor. I tried it first with a little under 2 cups of water and it was too salty, which would've been fine if it didn't have such a strong bitterness. I gradually added a little more water until the salty taste balanced out, but the bitterness persisted, so I added more hot water. I probably used a total of around 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 cups of hot water. The bitter flavor was a lot more mellow, but then it wasn't as salty or rich and the delicious pork flavor was pretty watered down. I think what needs to happen is a better balance of the salt and bitterness. Maybe omit the ginger all together and let people add their own if they like ginger in their ramen.

Delicious

The picture and ad looks nice, but it’s too expensive for a small amount of soup. Doesn’t even come with noodles.
