Quick take

Another bowl at Ippudo, this time going for the classic. The broth was more pork-forward, standing out without the black garlic oil and umami paste that define the Akamaru. Same toppings (and sadly, the same absence of tamago), but still an excellent experience overall. The presence of Japanese staff adds an authentic touch that elevates the visit.

Tonkotsu Ramen

The ramen arrived quickly and in generous portions, featuring a creamy, well-balanced broth—flavorful without being overly salty. The chashu was the real highlight: tender, abundant, and full of depth. The space is bright and minimalist, and the staff were friendly and efficient. Solid choice for a classic tonkotsu bowl in Barcelona.
