English term or phrase: Call it ramen for the tropics
How would you guys translate the sentence "Call it ramen for the tropics"? I am assuming it means it is a stronger ramen...

Soki are pork spare ribs simmered in awamori (a strong type of shochu), soy sauce and sugar.
They are placed in noodle soup topped with scallions and pickled ginger.
Call it ramen for the tropics.

Thanks!

El ramen tropical
Explanation:
I believe they are referring to the fact that it is a speciality of the South of Okinawa, which is sub tropical.

You could also say ¨Es el ramen de la zona tropical¨

A bowl of sōki soba noodles
Soki (Okinawan: ソーキ sooki) is a specialty of the cuisine of Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. Soki are (usually boneless) stewed pork spare ribs, with the cartilage still attached. They are often served with Okinawa soba.
