Ramen is Japanese noodle dish originated
in China. In more recent decades, it has
become a very popular dish in Japan, adapted
to the Japanese taste. Almost every locality
in Japan its own variation of ramen, from
the tonkotsu (pork bone broth) ramen of Kyusyu
to the miso ramen of Hokkaido.
The most popular ones are.......
Shoyu Ramen : brown,
transparent, soya sauce
based soup
Miso Ramen : brown, non-transparent, miso
based soup
Shio Ramen : transparent, salt based white
color soup
Tonkotsu Ramen : white, milky, pork based
unique soup
Niboshi Ramen : brown, dried fish based soup
Tsukemen : dipping ramen, the noodles
are served separate from the soup
Order "a bowl of ramen, please"
in Kyushu, then you'll automatically get
Tonkotsu soup ramen. In Hokkaido, most likely,
you'll enjoy Miso soup ramen. In port town
like Ibusuki, Akashi, Yaizu, Kushiro, you
may get their original prepared soup usually
with fish based soup (sakana no dashi).
