Kyuramen

Kyuramen on Beacon Street offers several ways to approach a bowl of ramen. Tokyo tonkotsu shoyu comes with pork broth, chashu, a marinated egg and vegetables, while the divided Yinyang Bowl lets you try tonkotsu shoyu and Sapporo miso together. The point is choosing a broth and toppings that suit you, rather than treating every bowl as the same dish.

The Brookline menu also includes appetizers, rice dishes and desserts, with pork bao among the smaller options. You can make a meal of ramen alone or add something to share before the bowls arrive. Find this branch at 1008 Beacon Street and use its location-specific menu when planning an order. Kyuramen operates many restaurants, and a dish shown elsewhere in the chain is not automatically a Brookline offering.
