About Kushiro ramen

“Kushiro Ramen,” which is loved mainly in Kushiro, Hokkaido, is a local ramen characterized by thin curly noodles and a light soy sauce-flavored soup. Its origin dates back to the Taisho period, and it has its roots in “Chinese soba,” which chefs from Yokohama brought to Chinese restaurants in Kushiro.

After that, improvements were repeated according to the climate of Kushiro, and in the early Showa period, they began to be served at food stalls.

The soup is based on broth taken from dried bonito flakes, kombu, chicken bones, vegetables, etc., and is finished with a mellow soy sauce sauce. This light soup is exquisitely intertwined with hand-kneaded thin, curly noodles, and you can enjoy a simple yet deep flavor. Also, it is said that thin noodles with a short boiling time were adopted so that fishermen could eat hot meals in a short time in a cold climate.

Because of its simplicity, Kushiro ramen has an attractive flavor that you won't get tired of eating every day. When you visit Kushiro, be sure to enjoy this traditional flavor that has long been loved by the locals.
