Toyama Black Ramen is a regional speciality that originated in Toyama, developed as a bold, satisfying ramen meant to be enjoyed alongside rice.

It is characterised by its deep, dark soy sauce–based soup and the sharp, spicy kick of black pepper, creating a strong and memorable flavour profile.

The non-fried noodles have a smooth texture with good firmness and elasticity, pairing well with the rich pork and chicken–based soup.

 

Note: This ramen has a strong peppery heat. Those sensitive to spicy flavours should take care.

Cooking Instructions

1. Bring 500 mL of water to a boil, add the noodles, and loosen gently with chopsticks. Cook for about 3 minutes.

2. Turn off the heat, add the liquid soup and powdered soup sachets, and stir well before serving.
