Ramen Fest

=Fascinating Local Food=

It is finally here! The Japanese Culinary Center is bringing ramen noodles to you.

Ramen is a very popular street food in Japan that you can get anywhere you go. You will find so many different types of ramen depending on where you visit. It is well known that there are approximately 200 different types of ramen all over Japan. When we talk about different types of ramen, this means different combination’s of 麺noodles, スープsoups, and 具ingredients.

In this class, we are going to introduce each characteristic of different ramen, the marriage of noodles and broth (soup), and how to make truly delicious ramen. We are going to have three stations that you will be able to enjoy a different regional ramen at each station: Hokkaido Sapporo Ramen = Miso Ramen, Tokyo Ramen = Shoyu (soy sauce) Ramen, and Fukuoka Hakata Ramen = Tonkotsu (pork broth) ramen.

Just as how it is enjoyed in Japan, we offer Tachigui (standing) style dining for this event. Come and taste local ramen!
