                                Originating in Tokyo in the early 20th century, shoyu ramen was one of the first and most widely popular types of ramen in Japan, making the salty, savory flavor familiar to many. A bowl of authentic soy sauce ramen is defined by its clear, brown broth, which is a harmonious blend of a savory stock and a soy sauce-based seasoning, or tare.
