Dashi
One major aspects of Ichiran Ramen is the dashi (soup stock). Japanese dashi usually consists of bonito fish and kelp. Ichiran’s special dashi recipe is kept secret and is known to only 4 of Ichiran’s chefs!
Tonkotsu Soup
Another major aspect of the Ichiran Ramen Take-Home Kit is the tonkotsu soup you can make at home! Unlike other ramen brands, Ichiran specializes in only one type of ramen: tonkotsu. Rather than diversifying their menu, Ichiran food researchers have devoted their time solely to perfecting the tonkotsu taste.
Their original tonkotsu soup is skimmed to remove any meat residue. This gives a deliciously smooth texture and delicious aroma. Once skimmed, all that’s left is a wonderful creamy pork bone flavor unique to Ichiran.
Collagen
Did you know that tonkotsu ramen is a great source of collagen? Rich with collagen, Ichiran tonkotsu ramen is not only a comfort food, it’s a beauty item! As we age our skin produces less and less collagen. This causes signs of aging such as dryness, fine lines, and wrinkles. Supplementing your diet with collagen helps to improve skin elasticity and hydration allowing your skin to appear more youthful.
The Noodles

Ichiran’s Hakata style tonkotsu ramen is different than any other because of its noodles. Hakata noodles were intentionally crafted super thin in order to speed up the cooking process. These noodles are cooked in a matter of 2-3 minutes! Moreover, they are crafted in pure filtered water to ensure that they are as fresh as can be.
Note: This ramen contains milk, eggs, wheat, pork and soybeans
■Thin Noodle (Straight)
Rare wheat flour specially blended by experienced noodle craftsmen is used to create noodles with a firm and smooth texture.
Ichiran's unique formula reduces the amount of ooze in the boiling water, allowing you to enjoy the flavor of the soup even more.
■Chirimen Noodle
The noodles are made by trial and error, from the wheat mixture to the thickness, shape, and firmness of the noodles, and are an excellent match for the new soup. The more you chew, the more you can enjoy the flavor of the wheat.
