Shio Ramen is a type of Japanese noodle soup characterized by its clear, salty broth. The word "shio" means "salt" in Japanese, which is the primary seasoning used in this dish. The broth is typically made from a combination of chicken, seafood, or vegetables, giving it a light and delicate flavor. The noodles in Shio Ramen are usually thin and straight, allowing them to absorb the broth's essence. Common toppings include sliced chashu (braised pork), green onions, and nori (seaweed). This dish is popular for its simplicity and is often enjoyed for its refreshing taste.
