The Secret to the Perfect Tonkotsu

True Japanese tonkotsu ramen cannot be rushed. The hallmark of a great tonkotsu is a milky, rich broth heavily infused with collagen and marrow.

At Modu Ramen, located on Baymeadows Rd in Jacksonville, Chef Kim employs a rigorous 18-hour double-boil process. We extract every ounce of flavor from premium pork bones, resulting in a soup base that is incredibly creamy without feeling overly heavy.

This meticulous method ensures that the collagen breaks down perfectly, delivering a smooth, velvety texture that coats every noodle. We carefully skim the broth to remove impurities, guaranteeing a pristine, milky-white appearance and a clean, deep umami finish that true ramen lovers appreciate.

We pair this magnificent broth with thin, straight noodles that perfectly hold the soup, thick-cut melt-in-your-mouth chashu (braised pork belly), kikurage (wood ear mushrooms), scallions, and a beautifully soft-boiled marinated egg. A drizzle of mayu (black garlic oil) adds an unforgettable roasted complexity.
