Current Events > Never had any Japanese soup, which to try?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Well I've had miso. IDK the difference between Udon and Ramen though. I want soup, and I want something new. Which one do I get?

I'm asking for input guy

The main difference is the noodle, which is what udon and ramen describe. Udon is a thick noodle made with wheat, while ramen is a thinner egg based noodle. I prefer udon most of the time, but well made ramen is incredible too. Basically, you cant really go wrong with Japanese noodle soup

If you want inexpensive and easily obtainable, the Nissin seafood ramen cup of noodle is real good, it's the Japanese version, they sell it at Walmart.

in my humble opinion you should get some tonkotsu ramen

I'm ordering delivery, can't leave room yet if I can help it. But I do like instant soup so I'll jot that one down

I dislike pork >_>

Ramen and udon can wildly vary depending on the place. It just refers to the type of noodles, a ramen place can have massive variation in the rest of the ingredients. Just get whatever kind sounds good to you.

Also I like sukiyaki.

*slaps you* never go with a Reis recommendation

Tonkatsu is way different than most American prepared pork dishes, its a lot thinner of a cut and is really tender but with a super crisp coating. Tbh, if someone told me any of the tonkatsu Id ever eaten was chicken Id definitely believe them

I take back what I said. I didn't notice you were Hairistotle. Carry on until your next ban.

both of my recommendations itt are great dishes tho

No one kill me but I went with spicy beef ramen instead of the pork lol. I will try the pork eventually though; something about spicy beef just calls to me rn

Udon is a type of noodle. It is not a soup.

Anyway almost all Japanese soup starts out by using Dashi as a base. You can just drink the Dashi if you want. If you put soybean paste in it you get miso soup. If you boil the Dashi with pork cuts you get tonkatsu broth used mostly for ramen I guess.

wow this is delicious

I was 100% expecting to hate it. It's got a bunch of different ingredients in here. Everything tastes like the broth but also tastes distinct. It's also a tremendous bowl. Can't believe how piping hot it still is too. Great decision.
