Toyama Black is a local ramen originating from Toyama Prefecture in Japan.
Toyama Prefecture is located towards the northern part of Japan and is characterized by its relatively cold climate.
To get straight to the point, the black soup is a “rich soy sauce flavored” soup. Toyama Black originated from a particular food stall that offered a ramen with an especially concentrated soy sauce to replenish the salt for physical laborers and coal miners.
Since then, the number of shops offering black ramen in Toyama Prefecture has been increasing, making it a beloved local ramen.

I don't drink it to the last drop, but I do enjoy it tastefully.

No! The soup is indeed a bit too rich, so even the locals in Toyama, where it originated, eat it with white rice. The rice soaked in this soup is exceptionally delicious...... You should definitely try it too. It's truly the best combination.

I recommend adding a generous amount of green onions to make it even tastier! Everyone, please do try Toyama Black!
