Tried out the Yamasa broth and it isn't bad. My usual go to at home tonkotsu are the ichiran kits from Amazon. This bottle was $10 with sub and save and a pack of J-Basket ramen noodles for $6 at HMart. $2/ bowl and way better than instant ramen.
Ichiran 5 pack goes for $29 and it's salty af. I add extra water and stretch each broth packet to 2 bowls. So $29+ $6 = $3.50/bowl with 3 extra ramen bundles (8/pack). I would buy this over the ichiran from now on for ease and cost. I prefer the slightly thicker j basket ramen than the ichiran

Nice execution on that egg. Just a note about ramen broth saltiness, in Japan, Tonkotsu broth is typically too salty to sip straight, unless you’re VERY drunk, and even then you can only take a few sips. It’s there to season the noodles. In my experience, ramen broth in the States is not salty enough, ironic considering most other food there.
This looks like restaurant ramen, except for the fact that the packaging of the broth makes it look like salad dressing, lol.
