💬 I had not been back to Tsuta for a while, so I was surprised to see a tonkotsu bowl on the menu. They are mostly known for their signature shoyu flavour; which is my go-to, but I decided to give their pork bone broth a try. At first glance, the broth looked extremely creamy, so much so you could even say it looked milky. I was prepared for an umami explosion but was quite taken aback when it ended up being rather light. Felt more like a shio-tonkotsu soup as I tasted more salt than porky-ness. The soba noodles on the other hand were perfect as always; springy ramen-like texture that makes you wonder if this is actually soba. And as usual, their char siu was not the highlight, as people are generally there just for their broths and noodles. Although this might not be my favourite tonkotsu bowl but it is still a decent attempt of innovation by the Chef!
