Ramen
Ramen is Chinese-style wheat noodles in a seasoned broth, topped with sliced pork (chashu), egg, and spring onion. The four base styles are shoyu (soy), shio (salt), miso, and the milky pork-bone tonkotsu, and every region tweaks the formula. It is fast, cheap, and eaten solo — not the shared, leisurely meal some visitors expect. Many shops take payment from a ticket machine at the door and expect you to leave promptly once you finish.
