A ramen bowl with pork-bone soy broth, sliced pork, bamboo shoots, scallions, and fish cake.

Wakayama Ramen

Japan · East Asia

Short description
This ramen style often uses a pork-and-soy soup and keeps the toppings compact and classic.
Ingredients
Thin ramen noodles with pork-bone soy soup, chashu pork, menma, scallions, and kamaboko.
Cultural note
Some shops pair the bowl with quick side sushi or eggs that diners pick up from the counter.
Common misconception
It is not simply any soy ramen; the pork-bone soy base and side-dish culture are part of the style.
