Ghost Pepper chilli-laced version of our original Eat the Bits. Rich umami flavours with an extra chilli kick. Not for the faint hearted!
The blend of rapeseed oil, d’Arbol chilli flakes and shichimi togarashi (a Japanese spice mix) is given a further flavour boost with the addition of red miso, garlic, onion, sesame seeds and sesame oil.
Tonkotsu Eat the Bits Extra Hot Chilli Oil
Ken and Emma met in 2002 and became great friends over their shared love of travelling and food, more specifically Japanese food and in particular ramen. Over the years, they realised it was very difficult to find decent ramen in London, so they began on a mission to sort that out themselves…
They started out in 2011 with a Saturday night pop-up in the city. 30 people came through the doors at the very first pop-up, but just ten weeks later they had 120, with tickets selling out within minutes.
Friday nights were spent prepping – bubbling broth for hours (with condensation running down the windows of Emma’s flat) making chashu and gyoza fillings, whilst drinking a couple of beers and talking about opening their first ramen restaurant. Then they’d be up at 6am on the Saturday to move all the ingredients to the pop-up restaurant, handmake 400 gyozas and get ready for the first sitting, with their adrenaline pumping.
Ken and Emma made a different ramen every week, each from a different region of Japan. People loved it, and they knew they were onto something, which gave them the confidence to go and find a location for our first restaurant – and in 2012 Tonkotsu Soho was born!
It’s not just ramen we’re obsessed with. We love all the things that go alongside our noodles to make them extra slurpable. Visit any of our restaurants, and there’s no way you’ll miss our Great Taste 2-star award-winning Eat the Bits chilli oil and chilli ketchup. All our condiments are vegan friendly, all natural and contain no nasties; and are the perfect condiment to add a smoky umami kick to any meal.
