Toyama Black
When you peer into the bowl, the soup is strikingly pitch black. With one sip, the intense saltiness of the dark soy sauce hits you hard—Toyama Black is a 'side-dish style ramen' that pairs perfectly with white rice. Its roots are said to date back to around 1947, during the post-war Showa era. It is believed that 'Daiki,' which started as a food stall, created this dish for manual laborers working hard to rebuild after the Toyama air raids by serving ramen with an extra-concentrated soy sauce soup. It was designed to replenish lost salt, and the thick noodles provided lasting satiety. It was a meal for workers, meant to be eaten alongside rice. Please try it with white rice. The contrast with the intense flavor reflects the strength of Toyama that supported its reconstruction.
