Kaze Ramen House — 18-Hour Tonkotsu in Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Eighteen hours of broth. One perfect bowl.

A tiny counter-seat ramen-ya in Williamsburg pouring rich, milky tonkotsu simmered overnight — hand-pulled noodles, slow-braised chashu, and a soft-jammy egg every time.

Our Story

Brewed overnight, served the next day

Chef Haruki Maeda learned to make tonkotsu the hard way — six years behind a counter in Fukuoka, where ramen is religion and the broth never stops moving. He opened Kaze in 2019 with twenty-two stools and one rule: nothing leaves the kitchen that he wouldn't pay for himself.

Every batch starts the night before. Pork bones go in at a rolling boil and stay there for eighteen hours, until the broth turns the color of cream and clings to the spoon. We pull the noodles fresh, braise the chashu low and slow, and marinate the eggs until the yolk is just barely set.

“Kaze” means wind — for the rush of steam off a fresh bowl, and the line out the door on a cold night. Sit at the counter, watch your bowl come together, and slurp loudly. We take it as a compliment.
