Tosakko Ramen Los Angeles – Restaurant Introduction
Brand Origin
In the 1960s, Mr. Minoru Yasuda started selling ramen from a pushcart along Tokyo's Ring Road No.7, known locally as "Kan-Nana." His signature tonkotsu broth infused with backfat quickly captured the hearts of countless diners. Since then, Tosakko has become synonymous with the rich backfat ramen culture and the spirit of craftsmanship in Japan.
From its humble beginnings with a single pushcart, to selling over 1,400 bowls per day at its first Tokyo shop, and now expanding to locations worldwide, Tosakko continues to touch people's hearts through authentic, heartfelt flavors.
