Yokohama Iekei Ramen

Iekei ramen developed in Yokohama around Yoshimuraya, a shop that opened in Shin-Sugita in 1974. The Kanagawa tourism association describes the style as combining the pork-bone soup associated with Kyushu and the soy-sauce seasoning associated with Tokyo ramen. Thick straight noodles are a characteristic part of the bowl.[1]

A documented preparation at Hiryuya combines pork-bone and chicken-stock broth with soy-sauce tare. Spinach, chashu pork and nori are the basic toppings. The shop allows diners to choose the strength of the seasoning, the amount of fat and the firmness of the noodles, and provides condiments including garlic, ginger and vinegar.[2]
