How to (try to) make Kumamoto Style Tonkotsu Ramen

Since I made some kuro-mayu in the last video, I decided to try to make a bowl of Kumamoto style Tonkotsu ramen. Kumamoto style tonkotsu ramen is a little different then other styles of tonkotsu in that its a lighter bowl that uses chicken and vegetables to balance out the pork funk. This makes a lighter soup which has been described as 'Maroyaka' (smooth / mellow) and 'assari' (light) even though it has a paitan appearance. It took me 3 days of filming and the final product honestly wasn't that great. To me, a great bowl of ramen is one where all the components are working together to make an amazing experience. In this bowl all the components were fighting with each other for attention. More than anything, this experience reminded me of just how hard it is to make good ramen and why true ramen chefs should really be respected. I always say that I'm not an expert and this video really shows it. I'll keep trying to get better and if I ever figure how to make this work, I'll post a follow-up video. Thank you guys for watching and for all the support.
