Pork Cheek Ramen
This wonderful vision of deliciousness came from Santouka, a spiffy little ramen shop near Gion in Kyoto.
I can't begin to tell you how I love pork cheeks. This restaurant touts the fact that you only get 200 grams of cheek per pig. That's not the point.
The decadence of pork cheeks comes from the meltingly tender texture you feel as it deconstructs in your mouth. It's the waves of richness that overcome you when you taste it.
