  • Wakayama-Shimotsu Port Tourist Information
    Wakayama-Shimotsu Port http://www.mlit.go.jp/kankocho/cruise/ Tourist Information Wakayama Ramen Wakayama ramen is referred to as chuka-soba. A popular type is accompanied by a soy sauce broth. The popularity of these noodles began from a number of roadside stalls that sprang up next to the tramlines that ran through Wakayama City. Although the soup appears dark brown in color, it is characteristically light and not oily when eaten. Another popular choice is a broth made from pork bone seasoned with soy sauce. The combination of pork stock and soy sauce works really well and the soup has a delicious profound flavor that really makes it stand out.
