Miso (ε³ε) ramen reached national prominence around 1965. This uniquely
Japanese ramen, which was developed in Sapporo Hokkaido, features a broth that
combines copious miso and is blended with oily chicken or fish broth β and sometimes with tonkotsu or lard β
to create a thick, nutty, slightly sweet and very hearty soup.
Miso ramen broth tends to have a robust,
tangy flavor, so it stands up to a variety of flavorful toppings: spicy bean paste or tΕbanjan (θ±η£ι€), butter
and corn, leeks, onions, bean sprouts, ground pork, cabbage, sesame seeds, white pepper, chilli and chopped
garlic are common. The noodles are typically thick, curly, and slightly chewy.
