About Hachioji ramen

“Hachioji ramen,” known as the local ramen from Hachioji City in Tokyo, is a simple yet unique cup with a unique appeal. Its characteristic is that the clear soy sauce-based soup is topped with chopped onions. This chopped onion enhances the flavor of the soup and creates a refreshing flavor. Furthermore, the lard that covers the surface of the soup has the effect of softening the pungent flavor of onions and bringing out the sweetness.

The history of Hachioji ramen began in 1959 when the owner, who ran a delicatessen shop in front of Kitano Station, was inspired by ramen with chopped onions he met on a trip to Hokkaido and began serving it locally. Since then, it has continued to be loved by local people, and now there are many specialty stores in Hachioji city.

Roast pork, bamboo shoots, and nori seaweed are common ingredients, and these blend perfectly with soy sauce soup. Also, medium-thin straight noodles are the mainstream, so they go well with the soup, and you can enjoy the texture. In terms of nutrition, vitamin C and dietary fiber contained in onions contribute to maintaining health.

Hachioji ramen stands out for its simplicity, and the individuality of each store stands out, and it's fun to eat and compare them. When you visit Tokyo, why don't you go to Hachioji and enjoy this local flavor?
