Tonkotsu Ramen
Pork Bone Ramen
noun
Pig bone ramen is tonkotsu ramen or, very logically indeed, pork bone ramen.
豚骨ラーメン is a type of Japanese ramen made with a rich, creamy broth from 豚骨 (pork bones). The bones are simmered for hours to extract the flavors, resulting in a flavorful and hearty soup. It's so delicious, you'll be back for more. Bone appetit!
This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You know both of these readings, but in case you need a reminder, here's a mnemonic to help you out:
You really like tonkotsu ramen so you just ate a whole ton (とん) of it. Imagine how you feel after eating a ton of pork bone ramen.

この豚骨ラーメンを食べると懐かしい気持ちになるよ。
