Dish profile
About this dish
- History and origin
- The styles of a specialty shop founded in 1947, shortly after the war, and of a shop that started as a street stall in the same year spread through the city, and features such as the double soup and low-hydration noodles are said to have taken shape around this time. It is said that in Asahikawa, where pig farming thrived, pork bones were put to use, and niboshi (dried sardines) and kombu came to be used alongside them to suppress odors and add flavor.
- When it is eaten
- Loved as Asahikawa's local specialty, with soy sauce ramen made with local soy sauce as the standard. Facilities lined with multiple ramen shops are bustling with tourists.
- How it is eaten
- The surface of the soup is covered with an aromatic oil such as scorched lard to suppress the steam, a measure devised so that the ramen can be eaten piping hot to the end even in Asahikawa, where the cold is severe.
