Located in the Akasaka neighborhood of Tokyo, “Ramen Honma” is a ramen shop that takes pride in its exquisite soup, meticulously crafted from high-quality ingredients without the use of artificial additives.
“Shrimp Wonton Noodles”: a perfect match with salt broth
At Ramen Honma, you can choose between two types of broth for all ramen dishes: salt and soy sauce.
If you prefer the salt broth, we recommend the “Shrimp Wonton Noodles.”
“海老雲吞麺（５個入り）,” Shrimp Wonton Noodles (5 pieces) 1,680 JPY (tax included)
The base broth is made by simmering beef, pork, and chicken bones with nearly ten types of vegetables and seafood. The salt-based sauce that complements the broth is made from three types of salt.
The resulting soup, made with over 30 ingredients, offers a balanced umami flavor without any single ingredient overpowering the others.
It’s a refreshing, clear broth with a deep, layered richness from the various ingredients.
The plump shrimp wontons bathing in the amber-colored broth are notable not only for their size but also for their delightful texture. Nestled inside each wonton is a filling made with finely chopped shrimp and a whole shrimp as well.
Shrimp Wonton Noodles come with your choice of either three or five wontons
The silky wonton skin and the plump, chewy texture of the shrimp will captivate you from the first bite. Enjoy the shrimp wontons with a spoonful of broth for a truly satisfying experience.
Don’t forget about the noodles either. At Ramen Honma, they’re smooth and firm, providing a perfect bite. These noodles are just the right thickness to soak up the flavorful broth, making it hard to stop eating.
Minami-no-Shima pork chāshū noodles with melt-in-your-mouth chashu
For those who prefer a soy sauce broth, we recommend the “Minami-no-Shima Pork Chashu Noodles.” This dish features three pieces of chāshū (Japan’s version of char siu) made from Minami-no-Shima pork, simmered in a simple sauce of soy sauce and mirin.
“南の島豚叉焼麺,” Minami-no-Shima Pork Chashu Noodles 1,500 JPY (tax included)
The broth base is the same as the salt broth, but with a sauce made from three types of soy sauce added, resulting in a subtly sweet flavor. The sweet fat of the Minami-no-Shima pork chashu pairs perfectly with the soy sauce broth, enhancing the overall taste experience.
You’ll find yourself closing your eyes in bliss as the gentle sweetness of the broth enriched with the chashu’s fat spreads on your palate.
The red meat of Minami-no-Shima pork is also superb, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a rich flavor. The simple seasoning of the ramen allows the natural taste of this high-quality pork to shine through, making each bite a delightful experience.
You’ll want to savor this sumptuous ramen dish to the fullest as the rich flavors entertain your palate.
The fried green onions in the center of the bowl add color and depth to the soup. Mixing them into the broth midway through your meal adds a roasted aroma, ensuring you enjoy the soup until the last drop.
At Ramen Honma, the combination of toppings and noodles creates the ultimate bowl of ramen.
