Tokyo Ramen

This is the ramen that represents Tokyo, based on a clear soy sauce soup made from a chicken bone stock. Its hallmark is a refined and light taste enriched with Japanese style dashi, which pairs well with thin wavy noodles. The classic style, with toppings such as roast pork, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and fish cake, has been handed down from downtown diners to modern acclaimed shops.
