Dish

Kagoshima ramen

Noodle and Dumpling Dishes

Kagoshima ramen is the regional style of ramen served in Kagoshima Prefecture in southern Japan. Its soup is built mainly on tonkotsu, a pork bone broth, but the broth is a little cloudy and is rounded out with chicken stock, vegetables, dried sardines, kelp and dried mushrooms, so each stock contributes to a milder overall taste. The noodles are somewhat thicker than the usual ramen noodle, and the bowl is served with pickled daikon known as senmai-zuke. Shops each keep their own recipe, and some use a brown soup rather than the pale tonkotsu common across Kyushu. Miso ramen has also long been on menus in the prefecture, but it differs from Sapporo ramen and is called Kagoshima-style miso ramen. The article describes it as the one ramen style not influenced by Kurume ramen, for geographical and historical reasons, and names Noboruya, opened in 1947, as its original shop.
