Tonkatsu = Fried pork cutlet. You can have them on ramen, but they themselves are not a type of ramen broth.
Tonkotsu = Pork bone broth
What you’ve got is tonkotsu. Very small thing, but a pretty big difference that comes up a ton on this sub.

Looks good! The other posters were very respectful regarding the terminology. They let me have it when I posted a pic of my first “tonkatsu”lolol!

Have to say, I’ve never had a ‘Tonkatsu Ramen’ 🙂 You know the mistake you’ve made. Also, if you’re in in Tokyo and want to have a Tonkatsu my rec is Butagumi.
Time to move on to some proper Ramen now OP. That’s like having the McDonald’s if Ramen in Japan.
