特製 the 貝ラーメン / Tokusei the Kai Ramen / 麺匠 至誠 (Menshō Shisei) — Yotsubashi, Osaka

Clear shio soup is built on a hamaguri clam and scallop dashi base, reinforced with Rausu kelp, light chicken stock and chicken oil.

Toppings on the tokusei version include two slices of low-temperature pork chashu, ajitama, clams, menma and negi.
