What wine goes with ramen?
Ramen is umami concentrate: rich broth, fatty pork, salt depth. Wine needs acidity and zero oak — bubbles do something almost magical against a tonkotsu broth.
Extra-brut sparkling
Bone-dry, sharp, cleansing
The driest bubbles you can find slice the fattiest broth you can order.

Dry riesling
Lime, mineral, racy
Acid for the fat, a hint of fruit for the chashu — and it survives the soft egg.

Chilled gamay
Light, bright, slurpable
For miso or shoyu bowls with extra toppings — a red that behaves like a white.
