What's the difference between Tonkotsu, Miso, Shoyu, and Shio ramen?

These are the four main "tare" or flavor bases for ramen broth. **Tonkotsu** is a rich, creamy pork bone broth, often cloudy and deeply savory. **Miso** ramen uses fermented soybean paste for a complex, umami-rich flavor that can be nutty and slightly sweet. **Shoyu** ramen is a clear broth flavored with Japanese soy sauce, offering a tangy, savory, and light taste. **Shio**, meaning salt, is the lightest and clearest broth, seasoned with salt to highlight the natural flavors of the underlying chicken or pork stock. Many ramen restaurants in Av. Insurgentes Sur specialize in one or two of these styles.

What is Tsukemen, and how is it different from ramen?

Tsukemen is a popular variation where the noodles and broth are served separately.

Many top-rated ramen restaurants in Av. Insurgentes Sur also feature "tsukemen ramen" on their menu.

Many shops also offer add-ons like corn, butter, or a "spice bomb" for a "spicy ramen" kick.

Is it rude to slurp my ramen noodles?
