at Totto Ramen

"The chicken paitan at Totto is cloudlike — a broth so rich and white it looks like milk. The noodles are thin and springy, the chashu fatty and caramelized. This is what chicken ramen looks like when someone has spent a decade perfecting one bowl."

"Chicken Paitan Ramen at Totto — the broth is made from chicken bones simmered for 24 hours, resulting in a white, opaque soup with a richness that borders on creamy. The chicken is roasted and sliced, the noodles are thin and firm, the egg is soft-set."
