Recommended bowl: Tonkotsu w/ sides

Open since the end of 2015, Isshō serves up a new school take on tonkotsu ramen. The master trained for eight years at the famed spicy tonkotsu shop Inosho. The soup is rich, creamy and oily, with a smooth consistency. It's made from pig leg bones, pig feet and back fat. The noodles are semi-medium and straight. What makes this shop unique are the veggie side options available. Plain cabbage and bean sprouts, spicy veggies, tomato-based veggies, peppery veggies — you have various options. You can eat your ramen as is, with the veggies on the side, or you can add them to your soup. In this way, each customer gets to customize their own bowl. A popular shop ranked on numerous tonkotsu award lists.
