鹿児島ラーメン豚とろ

Tontoro was recommended by the nice fellow at Kagoshima’s red light district 7-11. He sang their praises  The pork was, apparently, amazing.

Like most ramen shops in Kagoshima, they had a cheap option. For only 450 yen, you can have a mini bowl of their signature tonkotsu ramen. They also had the obligatory counter-top daikon pickles and tea.

Another disappointment. The chashu, an obvious draw, was almost pure fat. In the pork’s defense, it was silky smooth fat, but 90% fat nonetheless.

I was also accosted by a very drunk dude who called me a lady for not ordering the big size. Bro, I just ate a bowl at another place five minutes before! And that was after a full-sized dinner with my coworkers! Then he tried to lift up my shirt to look for my breasts.

Yeah, that happened in Kagoshima.
