Tokyo Shoyu Ramen

in Tokyo

A classic Tokyo bowl built around soy-sauce tare (seasoning sauce), clear broth, springy noodles, and toppings like chashu (braised pork), menma (seasoned bamboo shoots), scallions, and egg. It is lighter than tonkotsu (pork-bone broth) but still deeply savory.

Did you know?

Tokyo-style shoyu ramen grew from the city's chuka soba (Chinese-style noodle) shops, where wheat noodles met Japanese soy-seasoned broth.
