Tried out the Yamasa broth and it isn't bad. My usual go to at home tonkotsu are the ichiran kits from Amazon. This bottle was $10 with sub and save and a pack of J-Basket ramen noodles for $6 at HMart. $2/ bowl and way better than instant ramen. Added toppings I already had on hand, Chashu, egg, scallion, ginger, age Negi, aroma oil, chili crisp, sesame.
Ichiran 5 pack goes for $29 and it's salty af. I add extra water and stretch each broth packet to 2 bowls. So $29+ $6 = $3.50/bowl with 3 extra ramen bundles (8/pack). I would buy this over the ichiran from now on for ease and cost. I prefer the slightly thicker j basket ramen than the ichiran

Surprisingly clean ingredients list! Seasoning/tare already added?
I tried this, maybe I’m not using it right but didn’t care for it. Seemed tart.
Have you tired the somi brand concentrate? You can only get it in a huge bag but it comes out to a similar cost per bowl. I tried a bunch (including this Yamasa one) and somi was my favorite by far.
I recall other reviewers saying this stuff was awful.
