A must-have for anyone obsessed with ramen, cooking projects, or the art of Japanese comfort food.
With each copy Sho has included a signed bookplate.
We first met Sho back in 2021, when he was working on a project exploring the five types of soy sauce. So, when he reached out about collaborating on an ingredient kit for his new book, Homemade Ramen, it felt like fate. His deep curiosity and love for Japanese flavors align perfectly with what we do, and we couldn’t pass up the chance to bring his recipes to life for our customers.
Ramen, like pizza or burgers, is a world of traditions, trends, and strong opinions. Food writer, recipe developer, and longtime ramen enthusiast Sho Spaeth has spent over twenty years exploring that world—adapting classic techniques for the home kitchen and creating recipes that showcase a wide range of ramen styles.
Recipes include:
Classic Shoyu Ramen • Shio Tanmen with Clam Stock • Miso Ramen • Spicy Tantanmen • Pork Rib Tsukemen • Soupless Ramen (Mazemen) • Vegan Chickpea Ramen
With more than 100 step-by-step photos, Homemade Ramen walks you through every element of 13 distinct bowls—from broth and seasoning to springy noodles and toppings. It shows that making ramen from scratch is not only possible, but deeply satisfying—and gives you everything you need to geek out on ramen at home.
