Brought over by Chinese immigrants in the early 1900s under the name \u003cem\u003eshina soba\u003c\/em\u003e, it was gradually made Japanese, and split into four regional families: \u003cstrong\u003etonkotsu\u003c\/strong\u003e, the opaque white pork broth of Kyūshū; \u003cstrong\u003emiso\u003c\/strong\u003e, built on fermented soybean paste in Hokkaidō; \u003cstrong\u003eshoyu\u003c\/strong\u003e, the soy-based broth of Tokyo; and \u003cstrong\u003eshio\u003c\/strong\u003e, the light salt broth that started in Hakodate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eContemporary ramen follows a fairly strict grammar. A classic bowl is assembled from five parts: the noodles (\u003cem\u003emen\u003c\/em\u003e) cooked with bite, the broth (\u003cem\u003esūpu\u003c\/em\u003e) simmered for hours, the toppings (\u003cem\u003egu\u003c\/em\u003e) that vary by region, the finishing aromatic oil (\u003cem\u003ekaori abura\u003c\/em\u003e), and the marinated egg (\u003cem\u003eajitama\u003c\/em\u003e). Among the toppings, the one that shows up in every drawing of a ramen bowl is \u003cem\u003enarutomaki\u003c\/em\u003e (鳴門) — the pink and white spiral of fish cake, named after the whirlpools off Tokushima that its pattern imitates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe embroidery stages a \u003cstrong\u003ecomplete bowl\u003c\/strong\u003e in detail: a wide red and white vessel with the concentric banding of traditional ceramic, long yellow noodles lifted clear of the broth on a pair of wooden chopsticks, slices of spiral narutomaki visible in the bowl. It is the exact composition that ramen shops put on their signage, which is why it reads instantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-profile bucket shape carries the color well — the red of the bowl, the yellow of the noodles, the pink of the fish cake. Wear it with a white graphic tee, cargo shorts and white sneakers for summer streetwear, or with a chambray overshirt and loose linen trousers for something calmer. The brim gives sun coverage a cap cannot. Made for people who queue for ramen wherever they are, for food festivals, and for eating through Japan one bowl at a time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e98% cotton, 2% elastane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMid profile, 7.5 cm (3 in) brim\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne size: 54.9-60 cm (21.6-23.6 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoft inner lining\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat seams and clean finishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Japan Clothing","offers":[{"title":"Black","offer_id":53756551102811,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grey","offer_id":53756551135579,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Khaki","offer_id":53756551168347,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White","offer_id":53756551201115,"sku":null,"price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/9300\/2473\/files\/bucket-hat-ramen-bowl-black.jpg?v=1786453538","url":"https:\/\/japan-clothing.com\/products\/bucket-hat-ramen-bowl","provider":"JAPAN CLOTHING","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
