Miso ramen with spicy flavors
Miso is often associated with spiciness. And the original spicy miso ramen was served by a famous Chinese style restaurant, Ryushanhai in Yamagata prefecture, almost 60 years ago. The name of the regional ramen they serve is called "Akayu", meaning red hot water ramen. What's unique about this ramen is they made a ball of spicy miso paste with Yamagata-red miso, garlic, and other spices as a topping. It is separate placed on the soup surface. When you go to one of their locations (they are still popular in Yamagata), you can adjust the spiciness by melting the hot paste little by little. If you dissolve all of it into the soup, it may be too hot for you. Many ramen shops took this idea and implemented at their shops.
The spiciness and miso have been experimented and popular in Japan. And, there is a famous ramen brand in Tokyo, called "Kikanbo", which means ogre weapon (in Japan, ogre tends to wield a big iron stick). There is also a proverb, "an ogre with his weapon", meaning giving already a strong person an edge. Anyway, this ramen shop is equipped with its weapon, which is specially blended miso, chili, and Japanese chili (or sansho). The chili gives hot and spicy tastes. The Japanese chili brings numbing sensations. If you go eat at their shop, you can choose the level of hotness and numbness. Their stores are very unique with ogre-themed decorations. The brand brings out distinctive images. if you happen to be in Tokyo, it is worth a visit.
