Ramen is a traditional Japanese dish with many variations of broths. One thing is certain, many restaurateurs in the greater Montreal area have been able to reproduce these techniques.
The broth will simmer for a minimum of 12 hours to bring out a maximum of flavors, the noodles will be prepared on the spot, and the good quality meat will make the difference in your appreciation.
The ramen recipes that we find the most in Montreal restaurants are tonkatsu, miso, shoyu, or vegetarian.
