Beef bone ramen

About Beef bone ramen

Beef bone ramen is a local ramen from Tottori prefecture, characterized by a soup made with beef bones, which is rare even in the whole country. It is a traditional flavor that has been handed down since the Showa 20s, and is widely popular in the midwestern part of Tottori Prefecture, around Yonago City and Kurayoshi City. This ramen is a simple yet profound dish made by slowly simmering beef bones and seasoned with soy sauce or salt.

The unique sweetness and aroma that comes from beef bones blend into the soup, and it is characterized by a flavor that makes you feel rich even though it is light. The soup has an attractive clear and light aftertaste, and it's so delicious that you drink it up. The mainstream noodles are medium-thick, curly noodles that go well with soup, and toppings such as bean sprouts, green onions, bamboo shoots, and fish paste are added, and they have a simple, nostalgic appearance.

Beef bone ramen is said to have originated during the post-war period when food was scarce. Back then, beef bones were easy to obtain, and soups made with beef bones satisfied the common people's hunger. Tottori Prefecture has been known as a production area for Japanese beef since the Edo period, and it was natural that good beef bones were used to make soup in this area.

Beef bone ramen, which has been loved locally for many years, attracted attention because the “Tottori Beef Bone Ramen Noodle Group” was formed in 2009 and was introduced on a national TV program in 2010, and has grown into a local gourmet representing Tottori Prefecture. “Beef bone ramen,” which incorporates plenty of beef flavor into the clear soup, is a dish that truly embodies the flavor of Tottori.
