Tonkotsu
$17豚骨
A 24-hour pork bone broth, silken and opaque, hand-cut chashu, marinated egg, scallion, black garlic oil.
A tiny ramen shop on Berry Street, built around a single pot of broth that simmers for twenty-four hours. Hand-cut noodles, small menu, no shortcuts.
Slurp House started in 2019 in a 14-seat room at the back of a record store. Chef-owner Mei Tanaka had spent fifteen years in Tokyo and Fukuoka kitchens and wanted to make one thing, very well: a bowl of ramen that tasted like the ones she grew up slurping.
We don't have a freezer. The broth goes on at 4 a.m. The noodles are cut in-house. The eggs are marinated for six hours. The chashu is rolled, tied, and slow-cooked the day before.
We seat a small crowd, we play a lot of city pop, and we don't take reservations for parties smaller than five. Come in, lean against the counter, and stay a while.
