About Shio Ramen
Shio — meaning "salt" in Japanese — is considered the oldest and most refined ramen style. The broth is clear and pale, seasoned with carefully balanced salt rather than soy or miso. Because there is nowhere to hide, a great shio broth requires exceptional stock and precise seasoning.
Shio ramen is the choice for ramen purists who want to taste the broth itself — chicken, seafood, or pork — without heavy seasoning masking the subtleties. If you have only had tonkotsu, shio is a revelation.
