About Tsubame-Sanjo backfat ramen

Tsubame-Sanjo backfat ramen is a local ramen that spreads mainly in Tsubame and Sanjo cities in Niigata Prefecture, and is characterized by plenty of backfat floating in a soy sauce-based soup with the flavor of dried sardines. This ramen was developed for delivery in Tsubame City, where the Western tableware industry flourished in the 1950s. Extra thick noodles are designed so that craftsmen don't stretch easily and make them feel hungry even when eaten on the go. Also, adding plenty of backfat makes it difficult for the soup to cool down, so you can enjoy the rich flavor and mellow mouthfeel.

Ramen is often topped with chopped onions instead of regular green onions, and the richness of backfat matches perfectly with the crispness of onions. Currently, it is popular both inside and outside the prefecture, and the number of homage stores has increased, and it has become known nationwide.
