I tried the rich pork bone soy sauce Tokushima ramen with all-you-can-eat rice and raw eggs at 'Ramen Todai'
Tokushima has many famous 'Tokushima Ramen' restaurants, which are characterized by their pork bone soy sauce soup and unique toppings such as pork belly and raw eggs. When I visited Tokushima to participate in
Tokushima Ramen Todai | The authentic taste of Tokushima

Ramen Todai has stores not only in Tokushima, but also in Kyoto and Shiga. This time, I went to Ramen Todai Daido Main Branch in Daido, Tokushima City, Tokushima Prefecture.
Arrived at 'Ramen Todai Daido Main Branch'.
The ticket vending machine is touch-type and accepts not only cash but also credit cards and PayPay.
The menu has four types: 'Todai Ramen,' 'Todai Ramen with extra pork,' 'Todai Ramen Rich,' and 'Todai Ramen Rich with extra pork.' You can choose either 'regular' or 'large' for each.
I chose the 'large' 'Todai Ramen with extra pork slices.'
The seats look like this. Tea is self-service, and small dishes, vinegar, soy sauce, etc. are lined up on the shelf. When I sat down and handed the ticket to the waiter, he asked me, 'What would you like with garlic or rice?', so I replied, 'I'd like both.'
There are raw eggs on the table. You can eat as many as you like.
Rice and a large portion of 'Todai Ramen with extra pork' were served within a few minutes. The rice is also all-you-can-eat.
The 'Todai Ramen with Extra Pork Slattery Meat' looks like this. It is topped with green onions, garlic, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and pork.
I cracked a raw egg into the center.
The soup is sweet and soy sauce-based. Some Tokushima ramen shops have a strong pork bone aroma that can even waft outside the store, but the Todai Ramen with Extra Pork Slenders has a more subdued pork bone aroma and a strong soy sauce flavor.
The noodles are firm and the soup sticks to them well. The garlic has a fresh spiciness that is good. If you don't like garlic, you can ask for it to be removed when you hand over your meal ticket.
The pork belly is seasoned with a sweet and spicy flavor. The soup is also sweet, making the ramen overall very sweet.
If you mix it with a raw egg, the sweet and spicy soy sauce and egg will combine to create a taste similar to sukiyaki.
You can also eat it by soaking the rice in the soup.
I finished it in a few minutes while I was having more rice and adding more raw eggs. When cracking the raw egg into the bowl, the egg white got a little sticky on my fingers, but although there was dry paper on the table, there were no wet tissues, so if you are worried about stickiness, I recommend bringing wet tissues with you.
I was also curious about the rich version, so the next day I visited Ramen Todai Daido Main Branch again and ordered a large serving of Todai Ramen Rich with Extra Slender Pork.
The appearance of 'Todai Ramen with extra pork slender meat' is like this. It basically has the same toppings as 'Todai Ramen with extra pork slender meat', but with back fat added in the center. In addition, garlic is included without any notice in the case of the extra pork slender meat version.
I also added a raw egg.
The rich version has more pork fat added, which enhances the pork aroma and sweetness. Another interesting point is that the soup is slightly thickened.
The back fat clings well to the noodles, giving the dish a very rich flavor.
'Ramen Toudai' also has a frozen food version that includes a set of 'soup,' 'noodles,' and 'pork belly,' and is available at the official online shop , etc. A set of four meals is sold at Amazon.co.jp for 3,980 yen (tax included).
Amazon.co.jp: Tokushima Ramen Toudai 4 meals included with pork belly, frozen delivery, famous restaurant, popular restaurant, Chinese noodles, local ramen, mail order, gift, home, trial, fresh noodles, New Year's Eve soba, midyear gift, year-end gift, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Respect for the Aged Day, anniversary, birthday, present: Food, Beverages, Alcohol
By the way, there are many famous Tokushima ramen restaurants such as 'Inotani' and 'Oouken' near 'Ramen Todai Daido Main Branch'. All the restaurants have roughly the same characteristics, such as 'topped with pork belly' and 'contains raw egg', but the taste of the soup is quite different, so it is quite fun to compare them. Not only if you have business in Tokushima, but also if you visit Tokushima just for the purpose of eating Tokushima ramen.
