Yanaba Abura (Back Fat) Ramen

So much back fat that steam barely rises from the bowl. Yet, with a single sip, a mellow sweetness and richness gently unfold. The thick, chewy noodles cling perfectly to the soy sauce-based broth infused with dried sardines, while chopped onions provide a crisp, refreshing accent. This dish was born in the factory district of Tsubame, a place that flourished through the production of metal western tableware. It is said that the noodles were repeatedly improved into an extra-thick variety that wouldn't get soggy even if delivery was delayed, specifically for the hardworking craftsmen. To ensure the soup stayed warm longer, plenty of back fat was added, and seasonings were changed from green onions to onions—these innovations created the famous taste we know today. A bowl that soaks into your soul, especially on cold days. It is the soul food of Tsubame, nurtured by a town of craftsmanship.
