Shoyu Ramen

Shoyu ramen is a Japanese noodle soup characterized by its soy sauce-based broth. The broth is savory, tangy, and umami-rich, typically made by simmering ingredients like chicken, pork, vegetables, and soy sauce. It’s served hot with wheat noodles, often topped with slices of roasted pork (chashu), green onions, bamboo shoots, and a soft-boiled egg. Shoyu ramen has a balanced flavor profile, combining saltiness, depth, and a slight sweetness from the soy, making it a popular and comforting dish with a nuanced taste that highlights the soy seasoning at its core.
