An arrangement of Umakacchan, the Kyushu instant tonkotsu ramen, made mellow and rich with milk and topped with ten times more black pepper than you think you need. The mellowness of the tonkotsu broth tames the heat of the pepper, giving it a carbonara-like quality. Green onion and pickled red ginger toppings are also recommended.

  1. Pour 600ml of water into a pot, add the included liquid soup seasoning, and turn on the heat. Increase from the usual 500ml and fine-tune the flavor.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen), Water~1 minWatch the video from 0:39
  2. Fill a ramen bowl with hot water to warm it. The bowl will draw less heat away, so the ramen stays piping hot to the last bite.Watch the video from 1:00
  3. Once the broth warms up, whisk it to dissolve the seasoning thoroughly.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen), WaterWatch the video from 1:07
  4. When it comes to a boil, take out the powdered seasoning and seasoning oil packets and add only the noodles. Boil for a short 2 minutes for a firm texture.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen)~2 minWatch the video from 1:12
  5. After about 1 minute, gently loosen the noodles with chopsticks.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen)Watch the video from 1:22
  6. After 2 minutes, turn off the heat and add the powdered seasoning. Open the packet away from the pot rather than directly above it, add it all at once, and stir well to dissolve.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen)Watch the video from 1:29

  8. Turn the heat back on to warm it, and turn it off just before boiling so the aroma doesn't escape.Uses: Milk~1 minWatch the video from 2:02
  9. Serve in the warmed bowl. Pour the broth along a chopstick to keep it from splashing back. Lift the noodles to align them neatly.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen)Watch the video from 2:07
  10. Finish by drizzling on the included seasoning oil. Adding it right before eating keeps the aroma intact so you enjoy it at its best.Uses: Umakacchan (instant tonkotsu ramen)Watch the video from 2:16
  11. Sprinkle on so much black pepper that you think it's too much. Ten times more than you'd expect is the guide. Never use seasoned salt-and-pepper, as its salt and umami throw off the balance.Uses: Black pepperWatch the video from 2:36
  12. Top generously with green onion and pickled red ginger to taste.Uses: Green onion, Pickled red gingerWatch the video from 3:52
