Ramen is a Japanese-Chinese fusion noodle dish. It includes Chinese-style alkaline wheat noodles served in several flavors of hot broth. Common flavors are soy sauce and miso, with typical toppings including sliced pork , nori, lacto-fermented bamboo shoots (menma), narutomaki, and scallions. Nearly every region in Japan has its own variation of ramen, such as the tonkotsu ramen of Kyushu and the miso ramen of Hokkaido.
