Kurayoshi Beef-Bone Ramen
Investigado y escrito por Hinato
Prefectura de Tottori · Kurayoshi
35.4489°N, 133.8538°E
Almost all ramen in Japan is built on pork bones, chicken or fish. In central Tottori it is built on beef bones, and has been since at least the 1950s — Kurayoshi is generally named as where it started. The broth is pale brown, considerably lighter than tonkotsu, with a sweetness and a distinct beef-fat aroma that people either take to immediately or find strange.
Why it happened here is not fully settled; the usual explanation is that this was cattle country and beef bones were what the butchers had going spare. It stayed a purely local dish for half a century and was only given the name gyukotsu ramen and promoted outside the prefecture from around 2009. Two dozen or so shops in Kurayoshi and the surrounding towns make it.
