Four common ramen labels

Separate seasoning from broth before deciding what sounds good.

Shoyu, shio, miso and tonkotsu

Shoyu means soy-sauce seasoning; shio means salt seasoning; miso adds fermented soybean seasoning. Tonkotsu describes pork-bone broth. A bowl can therefore be both shoyu-seasoned and tonkotsu-based.

Ask beyond the label

Clear broth can contain chicken, pork or fish. Miso is not a vegan guarantee. Look for named ingredients and a branch-specific menu.
