About Kakuni ramen

Kakuni Ramen is a hearty Japanese noodle dish featuring tender, braised pork belly as its star ingredient. Originating from Japan, kakuni means “simmered square,” referring to the pork belly slow-cooked in a flavorful mix of soy sauce, sake, mirin, and sugar until melt-in-your-mouth soft. The rich, savory broth is typically pork or chicken-based, often infused with aromatics like ginger, garlic, and scallions. Accompanied by chewy ramen noodles, soft-boiled marinated eggs (ajitama), and toppings like nori, bamboo shoots, and green onions, this dish offers a comforting balance of flavors and textures. While Kakuni Ramen is protein-rich and provides some nutrients from its toppings, it can be high in sodium and fat due to the broth and pork belly. Moderation or ingredient adjustments can help make it a more balanced choice while still enjoying its decadent, authentic taste.
