Description
The clearest, most restrained, and technically most demanding of the three canonical ramen styles — a clear, golden broth seasoned with shio (salt) tare rather than the more forgiving soy or miso tares. Shio ramen is demanding because the broth's quality has no seasoning to hide behind: the salt tare adds only salinity, with no soy's caramel complexity or miso's fermented depth to add character. The broth must stand on its own aromatic and flavour quality. Hakodate (Hokkaido) is the region most associated with shio ramen.
