Acecook’s IPPIN Black Tonkotsu with Garlic Ramen is the bolder, more intense version in the bag noodle range — a tonkotsu-style broth darkened by caramelised sugar and lifted by garlic, giving it the character of a kuro-mayu (black garlic oil) ramen. The noodles are firm and chewy, made from wheat flour and starch, and hold up well against the full-bodied soup. The soup powder builds a creamy tonkotsu base from creamer powder and oil powder, with garlic, soy sauce powder, and yeast extract adding savoury complexity. The flavour oil is where the dish comes together: caramelised sugar, a tonkotsu-style flavouring containing sesame, fish sauce, and additional garlic spice produce a deep, smoky, and fragrant finishing oil that gives the bowl its distinctively dark colour and roasted aroma. A step up in intensity from the standard tonkotsu, and a reliable choice for garlic lovers.
