About Tsugaru ramen

Tsugaru ramen is a specialty of the Tsugaru region in Aomori prefecture, and is a soy sauce ramen based on seafood broth such as niboshi or yakiboshi. The characteristic of this ramen is the soup, which uses yakiboshi and dried sardines, which have been popular in the Tsugaru region since ancient times, and is filled with a refreshing flavor. In particular, dried sardines (sardines) or grilled sardines are often used, creating a unique flavor.

Tsugaru ramen is said to have originated from soba restaurants, and its roots are in the past when soba restaurants began offering Chinese noodles. Therefore, soup stock is similar to Tsugaru soba, and it is deeply linked to local food culture. In recent years, it has been divided into two schools, “royal” and “rich niboshi,” depending on the strength of the soup and the strength of the flavor of dried sardines, and both are loved by local people and visiting tourists.

“Royal”, which has simple ingredients and clear soup, is characterized by its light flavor, and is offered at many ramen shops. Meanwhile, the “rich niboshi type” has a rich flavor that uses plenty of dried sardines in pork bones and chicken broth, and is particularly liked by niboshi lovers.
