Ramen Box Contents
This time, we have included two types of ramen: "Ganja" from Saitama, famous as the pioneer of the tsukemen boom, and "Muteppou," a popular tonkotsu ramen shop from Kyoto.
Ganjia tsukemen(dipping noodles)
Tsukemen has become very popular in recent years in Japan, with various types available. Ganja from Saitama consistently ranks high in Japan's ramen rankings for its seafood-based tsukemen. Tsukemen is served with noodles and soup in separate bowls. The soup is rich, and you dip the thick, hearty noodles into it to eat.
The soup is made by boiling chicken bones and pork bones for over 10 hours, combined with a concentrated broth of fish such as bonito and mackerel, resulting in an exceptionally rich soup. By adding fish powder based on bonito flakes to this soup, you can enjoy a more intense and distinctive ramen.
Yamato syoyu ramen
Yamato from Tochigi's Sano Ramen is characterized by a clear, ginger-flavored chicken oil and soy sauce-based soup. The rich flavor comes from a blend of domestic chicken bones, pork bones, and seafood, creating a layered and deep taste. The soy sauce is sourced from a long-established soy sauce wholesaler, and the chicken oil skimmed from the top of the boiled soup provides a rich flavor. This ramen is extremely popular among the younger generation who love Sano Ramen.
