Yamasa Shoyu Ramen Broth Concentrate, 8 Fl Oz — Authentic Umami, Gluten-Free

Yamasa Artisanal Shoyu Ramen Broth Concentrate is a concentrated soy-based ramen base that transforms hot water into a restaurant-style shoyu broth in seconds.

Made following Japanese ramen traditions, this 8 fl oz concentrate delivers layered umami, subtle earthiness, and balanced saltiness without MSG or preservatives. One bottle yields about eight bowls of broth, making it an efficient pantry staple for quick weeknight dinners, cooking enhancements, or when you want authentic shoyu flavor without long simmering times.

How do I prepare a bowl of shoyu ramen quickly?

Preparing a bowl is simple: dilute the concentrate in hot water, add noodles and toppings, and serve. The concentrate is formulated so two tablespoons per 8 ounces of water produces a well-rounded broth, but you can adjust strength to taste.

• Standard ratio: 2 tbsp concentrate + 8 fl oz hot water.
• Stir until fully incorporated for a smooth broth base.
• Add cooked ramen noodles, soft-boiled egg, scallions, and protein.
• Customize with chili oil, sesame, or fresh vegetables.

What else can I use this concentrate for besides ramen?

Yamasa Shoyu concentrate is versatile—use it to boost sauces, soups, stir-fries, or gravies where a rich soy-forward umami note is desired. Because it’s concentrated, a small amount goes a long way in enriching savory dishes without watering them down.

• Stir-fries: add to the sauce for depth and seasoning.
• Sauces and gravies: incorporate to enhance savory complexity.
• Hot pot or quick soup bases: dilute to preferred intensity.
• Marinades: mix with oil, aromatics, and acid for proteins.

How many bowls will one bottle make and how should I store it?

• Yield: about 8 bowls at the suggested ratio.
