At Hakata Gensuke, the yobimimoshi (master stock) is a delicious soup unique to Japan’s finest ramen restaurants – and Melbourne CBD and Hawthorn, where they serve ramen. The soup is made using the highest quality fresh pork bones from respected Australian sources, and it takes three days to cook the broth so that it has a lot of taste.
