about this ramen: we always balked at the idea that a vegan 'tonkotsu'-style ramen could come close to matching the decadence of a proper, long-simmered pork bone soup, but this substitute blew our minds when we first tried it.
Jay Rayner, The Observer: "the revelation is the vegan version of the tonkotsu that, given its analogue’s origins in the boiling of bones, sounds like a contradiction in terms. Here, though, is the richest of savoury broths, given its creamy, slightly sweet edge by the addition of oat “milk”. It’s topped with paving slabs of tofu that have first been marinated then deep fried to give a crisp shell. It’s a big old bowl of deep care and thoughtfulness."
contents: rich kombu + shiitake dashi with oat milk + shio tare; ginger + garlic aroma oil; handmade thin hakata noodles; organic tofu chashu; kikurage mushrooms; beni-shoga; + spring onion. seasoned ajitama egg not included but available seperately. view the images to see more.

Let customers speak for us
This was utterly spot on - exactly what I’d been craving, and more!
I was sorry you have not replied to the email I sent about problems accessing the instructions. I also sent a letter by post, but that has gone unanswered.
I’m sorry, too, to report that I hadn’t realised that the garlic that accompanied one of the ramens had not been cooked, treated. We thought it was a specially treated topping, put it on top of the ramen and paid a heavy price. We did not enjoy the meal. Alas.
So glad to have found Matsudai to get a fix of proper tonkotsu. The broth is thick, rich & so delicious. The noodles are perfect. Such a treat & comes perfectly packaged with clear instructions.
Probably one of the best and most authentic things I’ve eaten this year. Superb.
Don't walk - run - to Matsudai for their ramen, it was honestly the most flavoursome meal and like a big hug in a bowl!
