The term Ramen means something like "hand-pulled noodles". From the 19th century, they were used, optimized and adapted in Japan. The Japanese version with pork and soy sauce as a soup base likely first appeared in Tokyo 1910. Since then, the noodles have also found popular use in asian fast food restaurants. Shoyu translates to "soy sauce" in Japanese. What makes Tokyo Shoyu Ramen different from others is the dashi broth. It is cooked with seaweed and fish flakes.
