Ramen toppings enhance the flavor and texture of the dish, making each bowl unique. Common toppings include chashu (braised pork belly), menma (fermented bamboo shoots), and nori (seaweed). Other popular options are green onions, soft-boiled eggs, and corn, which add freshness and richness. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available, featuring toppings like tofu, mushrooms, and spinach. Some ramen shops offer seasonal toppings, such as spring onions or pumpkin, to highlight local ingredients. These toppings not only contribute to the taste but also create a visually appealing presentation.
