Dish profile
About this dish
- Main ingredients
- ultra-thin curly noodles, bonito dashi, soy sauce, chashu, menma, green onion
- History and origin
- One theory holds that it originated with ramen brought by a cook from Yokohama in the Taisho era, which was adapted to suit Kushiro's local conditions and made at street stalls through the early Showa era. As for why the noodles became ultra-thin, one theory says the boiling time was shortened to serve fishermen returning from sea quickly, and another says they were made to suit the light soup.
- When it is eaten
- During the heyday of the North Pacific fisheries, stalls catering to fishermen from boats entering the port reportedly lined the quay. Today, shops around the city still serve Kushiro Ramen with their own soup innovations.
- How it is eaten
- Ultra-thin curly noodles are combined with a light soy sauce soup and topped with simple ingredients such as chashu, menma, and green onion. The thin curly noodles take only about 1 minute 30 seconds to boil.
