RAMEN IS VARIETY

While there are seemingly endless styles of ramen, varying by region, ingredients and chef, here are some key ones to know and love.

RAMEN IS CRAFT

It takes skill and care to create an authentic bowl of ramen that brings out the harmony of its flavors, textures and aromas. It’s a labor of love that you can taste with every bite, sip and slurp.

AHHH-MAZING BROTH

Broth is the soul of every ramen bowl. Whether light or creamy, meat-based or vegetarian, these soups warm you from the inside out with balanced, layered and hearty flavors.

SPECIAL NOODLES

Pleasantly springy and incredibly slurpable, ramen isn't your typical noodle: kansui is alkaline water and the secret ingredient that gives ramen noodles their unique color, texture and flavor.

OVER-THE-TOP FIXINGS

Ramen often comes with specific toppings — but add as you please! From soft-boiled eggs to tender chashu (braised pork) to finely sliced green onions, the sky’s the limit when creating your perfect bowl.

KANSUI

Alkaline water is the special ingredient behind ramen noodles’ distinct texture, color and flavor.

TARE

The seasoning added to ramen broth that enhances the boldness of its flavor and defines its personality.

UMAMI

Savoriness, also considered the fifth taste. The word means “essence of deliciousness” in Japanese and is characterized by a deep, full flavor.

RAMEN IS TRADITION

From the handcrafted bowls made famous in Japanese ramen shops to the quick and easy versions found in today’s college dorm rooms, this iconic dish has journeyed far and wide.

BEGINNINGS

Ramen’s story starts as la mien (拉麵, or hand-pulled noodles), before Chinese immigrants bring it to Japan in the 19th century. The dish is popularized by a Tokyo noodle shop named Rairaiken in 1910 and eventually becomes known as “ramen.”

EVOLUTION

Ramen transforms into a national dish in the 1950s, with specialities emerging all over the country. Its rising popularity is also due in part to the invention of instant ramen by Momofuku Ando — this tasty and now ultra-convenient dish becomes an instant hit.

TODAY

New chapters in ramen's rich and wonderful story are still being written. From ramen tours and museums to innovations like frozen varieties and the “ramen burger,” this iconic Japanese dish’s global appeal shows no sign of slowing down.

RAMEN IS YOURS

As a dish that evolved over decades and across continents, ramen doesn’t play by one set of rules. Though there are regional customs and etiquette, it’s considered one of the more casual dishes in Japanese cuisine, so you decide how to enjoy your noodles!
