Authentic Kitakata Ramen Recipe Kitakata, Japan

Belonging to the shoyu ramen group and originating from Kitakata, Kitakata ramen is consists of a soy sauce base, pork bone broth, and hirauchi jukusei takasuimen noodles, which are thicker than most ramen noodles and wavy. Still, although the broth is typically made with pork bones, different restaurants make the broth differently, but in any case, it will include naiboshi (sardines). Also, unlike most ramen noodles, noodles for this type of ramen have a higher ratio of water to flour and need to mature before they are ready for use. The finished bowl of Kitakata ramen is usually topped with chashu pork, bamboo shoots, naruto fish cakes, and spring onions.
