Dive into Rich Flavors at Buta to Komugi
Tokyo, a city known for its diverse culinary landscape, is about to experience a new sensation with the opening of
Buta to Komugi on
August 5, 2025 in
Chiyoda. Specializing in rich tonkotsu ramen, this restaurant aims to satisfy the hearty appetites of busy professionals and ramen lovers alike.
Signature Dishes
Buta to Komugi focuses on a signature
thick tonkotsu broth, perfected for a robust flavor profile. The flagship dish,
Red Mentaiko Tonkotsu Ramen, features spicy mentaiko sourced from the renowned Narumiya in Hakata. This dish is known for its deep umami and just the right amount of spiciness, which when combined with the rich broth creates a delightful experience.
The restaurant also offers a choice between two types of noodles: the traditional, firm
Hakata-style noodles and the
mochi-mochi noodles for a chewy texture. Guests can adjust their flavors with a variety of table condiments including pickled ginger and spicy takana. To finish, a refreshing drink of jasmine tea is available, ensuring a clear palate.

On opening day, guests can enjoy a special promotion: the standard tonkotsu ramen will be available for just
500 yen, a significant discount from its usual price of

2,000 yen meal voucher for ten lucky patrons who follow and like the restaurant's Instagram page during the promotional period from
July 22 to August 19, 2025.
