Sano's treasure, created by the virtuosity of making Aotake by hand — a heartwarming cup of “Sano ramen”

About Sano ramen

The local gourmet “Sano Ramen” from Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, is a traditional cup characterized by handmade noodles made with green bamboo and clear soy sauce soup. Craftsmen use green bamboo to carefully roll out the noodle dough, creating noodles with a unique texture and texture. The soup has a light flavor based on chicken bones and pork bones, and is in perfect harmony with the noodles.

The history of Sano ramen dates back to before the war, and it began when local noodle makers adopted the technique of making green bamboo. Since then, there have been many ramen shops in Sano City, and each store is pursuing its own unique flavor. For example, famous stores such as “Aotake Handmade Ramen Hyugaya” and “Ramen Daikin” are loved not only by locals but also by visitors from afar.

Noodles made from flour, which is the main ingredient, are rich in carbohydrates and are an excellent energy source. Also, chicken bones and pork bones used in soup supply protein and minerals, making it a cup with a good nutritional balance.

Green tea is recommended as a drink that goes well with Sano ramen. The refreshing astringency of green tea enhances the umami of ramen and refreshes the mouth after meals.

Every year in Sano City, events such as the “Sano New Year Unmeemon Festival” are held, and many people enjoy this local flavor. When you visit, be sure to enjoy authentic Sano ramen and enjoy its deep appeal.
