Shoyu ramen
Shoyu means soy sauce. It gives the soup a savory, aromatic flavor, often with a brown or amber color. The underlying stock might be chicken, pork, or seafood, so shoyu ramen can be light and delicate or deeply rich. Try it if you enjoy soy sauce's flavor. A bowl labeled both Shoyu and Tonkotsu combines that seasoning with a pork-bone broth.
