Shoyu is the Japanese term for soy sauce, which is the almighty sauce of the heavens to which we solemnly pledge our lives in good faith. Soyu ramen is lighter than most types of ramen, which makes it great for a small afternoon feast on stressful, busy days in which there’s a lot to be done. Expert shoyu ramen chefs don’t use just any soy sauce, they all have their own special, homemade blend of the salty, black bean nectar.
