About Shoyu Ramen
Shoyu — soy sauce — is the seasoning that defines Tokyo-style ramen. The broth is clear and amber-brown, built on a chicken or pork base and finished with soy sauce for deep, savory umami. It is the ramen most Japanese people grew up eating.
Shoyu ramen sits in the middle of the flavor spectrum — more depth than shio, lighter than miso, and far less rich than tonkotsu. It is the style that showcases the quality of the broth and the precision of the cook.
