Slim pickings in Otsuka for really good ramen. At least that is what all the publications point to. Well, the search continues, and Mikan was the only Otsuka shop with a page in the massive 2012 Ramen Walker magazine.

I should start using the acronym YATG – Yet another tonkotsu gyokai. Mikan is YATG.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. There is a reason that so many of these shops are successful. Creamy pork broth blended with smoky, bitter fish is a winning combination.
