Do you know “Iekei（家系）?”.
Iekei (家系) ramen is a distinctive style of ramen that originated in Yokohama, Japan, in the 1970s. It was created by a ramen shop called Yokohama Iekei Ramen and has since gained popularity across Japan and internationally. The term Iekei (家系) roughly translates to “family-style” or “house-style,” referring to the specific blend of flavors and ingredients used in this ramen.
The most distinguishing characteristic of Iekei ramen is its rich, thick, and hearty broth. It is a combination of pork bone (tonkotsu) and soy sauce (shoyu), which results in a savory, umami-packed flavor profile. The tonkotsu provides a creamy, full-bodied texture, while the soy sauce adds depth and saltiness. Some variations may also have a slight fishy undertone, often from the use of bonito or other seafood stock.

Uchidaya Ramen, located on Soi Thaniya in Bangkok’s Silom district is one of the real Iekei Ramen shop in Bangkok.

☆Today’s Menu☆
Noukou Ebi Ramen （濃厚海老ラーメン)
Noukou (濃厚) means the rich taste, thick and heavy.

The broth is made by combining chicken and pork with a large amount of shrimp, resulting in a rich and heavy soup. From the moment the ramen is brought to the table, the fragrance of the shrimp fills the air, and when you take a sip of the soup, the sweetness of the shrimp spreads throughout your mouth.

The noodles are thin, similar to Kyushu tonkotsu style. The orange liquid on top of the chashu is shrimp miso. There are two slices of chashu, bamboo shoots, and a soft-boiled egg, so it feels like a good deal.

Additionally, finely chopped onions add a nice texture to enjoy. It was a very satisfying bowl of ramen.The portion is not too large, so if you want to eat more, it’s recommended to either order rice or get a larger portion
