Tongara Ramen was first established by Makoto Okazaki in Shinjuku, Tokyo<\/strong>. The chef spent over a decade perfecting the art of ramen until he developed a one-of-a-kind broth that was truly his. To describe this broth, Mister Okazaki coined the term “tongara” – a combination of Tonkotsu (pork bone broth) and Torigara (chicken bone broth).<\/strong><\/p>\n John and Aubrey Borja visited the ramen shop\u00a0in 2015 and fell in love with the rich flavor that was unlike anything they’d had before<\/strong>. As fate would have it, the Cebuanos, in partnership with Okazaki, brought Tongara Ramen to the Queen City.<\/p>\n Next month,\u00a0the franchise will open their second branch in the Philippines\u00a0on\u00a0April 7<\/strong> – this time, right here in Metro Manila! The ramen master, Okazaki, himself is confirmed to be making an appearance at their grand opening in Lamp Quarters Marikina<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Here’s a first peek of the place and what’s in store!<\/p>\n Signature tongara broth with chashu\u00a0(braised pork belly), tamago (egg), menma (bamboo shoots) and greens.<\/p>\n Signature tongara\u00a0broth with pako (breaded pork cutlet), tamago (egg), menma (bamboo shoots) and greens.<\/p>\n Signature tongara broth with chili paste, sesame oil, minced pork, tamago (egg), menma (bamboo shoots) and greens.<\/p>\n Are you as excited as we are for\u00a0Tongara to open?
