RiCE No.O6 WINTER 2O18
Special Feature Ramen for Real.
Ramen has become the frontrunner for the title of Japan’s national dish. No other food is so popular throughout the country, yet remains so multi-faceted. The categorical framework and definition of ramen continues to expand all the time; now it includes not only the shōyu, tonkotsu, miso, shio and tori paitan varieties, but also tsukemen and even abura soba creations. While there is a trend towards all-natural ingredients and higher quality in recent years, it is still the everyman’s best friend, usually costing less than 1,000 yen a bowl. It is because our love for ramen is real that we have decided it is time to get real about ramen.
