Kamaishi ramen introduction
Kamaishi ramen is a local ramen that has been loved locally in Kamaishi City, Iwate Prefecture. Its characteristics are the ultra-fine curly noodles and the clear amber-colored soy sauce-based soup. The noodles are boiled quickly, have just the right amount of texture, and go great with soup. This ramen became loved by workers during the Showa 30s when Kamaishi's steel mills and fishing ports were bustling. Kamaishi ramen is characterized by simple ingredients and a light flavor, making eaters feel nostalgic and kind. Designed to be eaten quickly by the “Iron Men” in the steel industry and fishermen in their busy schedules, this ramen is deeply linked to the local culture and climate, and is still loved by local people. Ramen's transparent soup and ultra-fine curly noodles have shown their presence as part of the food culture that has evolved along with Kamaishi's history.
