餃子ラーメン / Gyoza Ramen / Yamato — Sano, Tochigi

Clear chintan soup contains pork leg bones accented by chicken and aromatics, seasoned with naturally brewed kioke shoyu from Okanaosaburō Shoten. Each bowl is completed with a light finish of chicken oil. High-hydration, hand-rolled noodles are classic Sano aodake style, made with a bamboo pole. The Gyoza Ramen swaps typical toppings for a mound of sautéed, thickened gyoza filling (an) made up of pork and vegetables mixed with garlic. Fried gyoza on the side.
