What is Shoyu ramen?
Shōyu ramen is the oldest of the four ramen base flavours; it is based on soy sauce. It has a clear brown broth, based on a chicken and vegetable (or sometimes fish or beef) stock with plenty of soy sauce added, resulting in a soup that is tangy, salty, and savory, yet still fairly light on the palate. Shōyu ramen usually has curly noodles rather than straight ones, but this is not always the case. It is often adorned with marinated bamboo shoots or menma , green onions, carrot, kamaboko (fish cakes), seaweed, boiled eggs, bean sprouts or black pepper; occasionally the soup will also contain chili oil or Chinese spices, and some shops serve sliced beef instead of the usual chāshū .
