And the final component of ramen: oil. A detail that should not be overlooked, an extra layer of aroma oil makes a ramen 3-dimensional. Drizzled over piping hot broth the oil is activated, exciting the olfactory senses well before you take the first bite. We use several oils on our ramens, from the intense mayu black garlic oil in the kimchi and tonkotsu ramens to the decadent duck oil in the kamo shoyu. This weekend is your last chance to warm up with a bowl of craft ramen before we close for the holiday week. Don’t wait to get that final slurp! #abura #oil #ramen #5daysoframen #zenbox #izakaya

Toppings, toppings, toppings. They add color, flavor, and their artful arrangement is visually appealing. Toppings for ramen range from the classic pork chashu and soft-boiled ajitama, to more rich and rustic ingredients such as duck and kikurage mushrooms. Options for toppings are limitless, so long as they add nuance and are informed by the type of ramen they are garnishing. Follow along this week as we explore the building blocks of ramen. #toppings #ramen #5daysoframen #zenbox #izakaya
