Shoyu ramen is a popular type of Japanese noodle soup characterized by its soy sauce-based broth. The word "shoyu" means soy sauce in Japanese, which gives this ramen its distinct savory flavor. Typically, the broth is made by simmering meat, vegetables, and seasonings, resulting in a rich and aromatic soup. The dish usually features curly wheat noodles, which are cooked to a firm texture. Common toppings include sliced chashu (braised pork), menma (bamboo shoots), green onions, and a soft-boiled egg. Shoyu ramen is enjoyed for its balance of flavors and is a staple in many ramen shops across Japan.
