Ube Ramen introduction

Ube Ramen (宇部ラーメン, Ube ramen) is a beloved specialty from Ube City in Yamaguchi Prefecture, known for its rich, full-bodied pork bone broth. Inspired by Kurume ramen, it features medium-thick noodles paired with a creamy, tea-colored soup. The broth is carefully replenished over time, allowing for a deep, complex flavor and a robust pork aroma that gives it its signature "bold and delicious" character, referred to as "kusau-ma" or "aromatic and tasty." Ube Ramen has undergone unique evolution, with toppings like pickled ginger and tender slices of chashu pork enhancing its flavor. Efforts by local organizations, such as "Ube Ramenjer," have helped promote and brand it as a proud local delicacy, deeply cherished by the community. Now available in and outside Ube City, this soulful bowl captures the essence of the region and has become a local favorite for ramen enthusiasts.
