Kurayoshi Beef-Bone Ramen — location in Prefectura de Tottori, Kurayoshi

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.

Guía privilegiada

**Order shoyu first.** Beef-bone ramen is made in soy, salt and miso versions; the soy is the reference and the one that shows the broth. Miso covers it. **Expect it to be lighter than tonkotsu.** The colour suggests something heavy and it is not. The distinguishing feature is aroma rather than body. **It is a Kurayoshi-area dish.** Central Tottori — Kurayoshi, Yurihama, Hokuei. It is not a prefecture-wide style and you will not reliably find it in Tottori city or Yonago. **Sets are cheap.** Ramen plus rice and a fried side around ¥1,000 is standard, which is inexpensive for what arrives. **Confirm the shop before you go.** Individual hours and rest days vary and several are small family operations. Kurayoshi tourism keeps a list.
