Niku (Meat) Max Ramen - 1,500 yen (tax included)

No.3 - Ramen without Soup - Abura Soba

As you may know, ramen was first sold as street food in Japan, and that's why thin noodles are commonly used because the boiling time is shorter!

After the developments in these years, many different kinds of ramen can be found. For example, Abura soba which is made with thick noodles and without soup. Do you know that without the soup, the calorie is also reduced a lot!

Without the soup, you need to add the Japanese vinegar and chili sauce to give some tastes to the noodles.　Then, mix everything thoroughly, and you are done!

Abura Soba - 720 yen (tax included)
You can choose original size or large size without extra charge.

Something extra to go with your ramen!

How about adding the pan-fried dumplings (Gyoza)?

How about the pork on rice bowl? Actually it is a common way to enjoy both ramen and rice in Japan! You can try this combination next time too!
