Hi, I’m Atsuko, and today we’re going to eat some local Japanese ramen together! There are various kinds of delicious ramen in Japan and I can’t wait to share them with you! Sapporo’s Miso Ramen Miso Ramen is believed to have originated in Sapporo’s Aji no Sanpei in 1955.

You can enjoy the same flavor in Tokyo at this restaurant, Ezo Giku, established in 1968. There is no ticket machine at Ezogiku, so you order directly from the waiter. They also have spicy miso ramen! There is also a variety of spices to choose from!

Miso Ramen 900 yen (≒$5.93) I added butter and corn for 100 yen each (≒$0.66) The miso soup is very rich! The best way to enjoy this soup is by melting some butter into it Butter and corn toppings are the most popular when eating Sapporo Miso Ramen!

The ramen has many vegetables so it’s hard to find the noodles! Where are the noodles? ?？ There they are! The noodles are medium thick and frizzy. The flavor of the soup is well absorbed into the noodles 👍‼! Let’s add some spicy miso! Looks delicious! Thank you for the delicious ramen!

Hakodate Shio(salt) Ramen This is Ogikubo station, Ogikubo is also called the holy land of ramen because there are many ramen shops serving delicious ramen here! The restaurant we are about to visit has been selected as one of the 100 best ramen restaurants on the Tabe-log (review site), and is very popular!

First, you need to buy a meal ticket and then give the ticket to the waiter. It is said that salt ramen was first served at “Yowaken” in Hakodate in 1884. Ramen 850 yen (≒$5.6) plus 150 yen (≒$1) for kombu (kelp) toppings

The clear soup is enriched with the flavor of kelp and has a mild and very refined taste! This is Gagome konbu (kelp). Its high stickiness characterizes it! Fu(Wheat gulten bread) and Bamboo shoots, green onions, and Chashu pork The noodles are homemade using Hokkaido wheat. They are thin, firm, crunchy, and very tasty!

Fu is more delicious when it absorbs the soup! The Konbu is also delicious when mixed with the noodles! The Chashu pork was great, not too fatty and moist! Thank you very much for the amazing ramen, it was very delicious! Toyama Ramen

Toyama’s ramen is also called “Black Ramen”! It is characterized by a thick soy sauce broth and a large amount of coarsely ground black pepper. What do you think it looks like? First, let’s buy a meal ticket! A free paper apron is available. Great! Now I am ready to eat my ramen!

It is said that this black ramen started as a salt supplement for manual laborers by making ramen with thickened soy sauce! It smells very peppery. The pepper goes very well with the thick soup, The thick noodles soaked in the flavourful soup are very firm and delicious!

The flavor is strong, but not too salty, And the egg was excellent! I love Bamboo shoots, and I’m happy that there are a lot of them in the soup! The savory Chashu pork! Thank you for the ramen, it was delicious!

By the way, there is Suga Shrine nearby, which has a staircase famous for appearing in the anime movie “Your Name”. If you visit the shrine, please stop by this ramen shop! Tokyo Ramen Next, let’s go eat Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, which is said to be the origin of ramen in Japan!

Shoyu ramen is said to have originated in 1910 at “Rairaiken” in Asakusa. The Rairaiken here in Yuutenji is a restaurant opened by the head chef of the Asakusa Rairaiken who went independent. The ramen at the top of the menu is the Shoyu Ramen, which is said to be the origin of ramen!

Here is the Shoyu Ramen, 750 yen (≒$4.95) The soup is clear and soy sauce colored. The taste is light but rich. Ingredients are the standard Chashu pork, Bamboo shoots, and green onion. There are plenty of thin noodles in the soup. It is delicious with a gentle flavor!

White pepper goes very well with Shoyu ramen! Please try the taste that has been enjoyed for nearly 100 years. Thank you for the great ramen, I will be back again! The service tea was also the color of soy sauce! Yokohama Iekei Ramen

There are many Yokohama Iekei Ramen restaurants in Tokyo. But the place we are going to now is a direct descendant of Yoshimuraya, which is said to be the birthplace of Yokohama Iekei-Ramen! After purchasing a meal ticket, wait in a queue. I bought a standard ramen for 800 yen (≒$5.28).

However, it was prohibited to take a picture inside the restaurant. Yokohama Iekei Ramen is characterized by thick pork bone soup and thick noodles. It is popular for its flavor with garlic and pork fat. Since I can’t show you through the video, I’ll show you what it looks like from the website instead.

It looks like this! Looks delicious, doesn’t it? The most attractive thing about Iekei Ramen is that you can alter the soup, the hardness of the noodles, and the amount of oil Please try it if you like! Tokushima Ramen

This is the first time in my life that I am eating Tokushima ramen. Tokushima ramen is characterized by a deep brown broth made from tonkotsu (pork bone) soup with dark soy sauce added.

It is said that tonkotsu ramen spread in Tokushima because there was a ham factory and a large supply of cheap tonkotsu was available! First, buy a meal ticket! This is “Kaeshi” (sauce for ramen). This is “sudachi”, a citrus juice mainly found in Shikoku.

Ta-da! This is the first Tokushima Ramen in my life! 950yen (≒$6.27) The soup is thick, sweet, and salty! It’s so good! It tastes like sukiyaki! The medium-thin noodles are chewy and go well with the rich soup! The ingredients are sweet and spicy pork, bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, and green onions.

The special feature of Tokushima ramen is the raw egg. 50 yen (≒$0.33) There is a description of how to enjoy the raw egg. The raw egg can be put in the soup, or used as a dipping sauce for the pork. Let’s see, yes, it is exactly like sukiyaki.

It seems that the soup becomes mild if you add the raw egg. The thick soup became very mild! I’ll put some sudachi in it too. Yes, the taste has changed to a refreshing one. It is also delicious! Thank you for the great ramen! It was tasty! Hakata Ramen in Fukuoka

Speaking of Hakata ramen, Ichiran is famous, but there are long queues at every store due to its popularity. So I went to the Higashiyamato branch, a less crowded one in Tokyo.

The good thing about Ichiran is that you can adjust the hardness of the noodles and the thickness of the flavor to your liking in detail on the order form. I ordered ramen for 980 yen (≒$6.47) and egg for 140 yen (≒$0.92)!

This red sauce is very spicy if you eat it as it is, so please dissolve it in the soup before eating! Hakata Ramen is characterized by thin noodles and thick pork bone soup. The soup is rich and very tasty. It goes well with thin noodles. Ichiran’s Chashu pork is always warmed before serving!

Hakata Ramen is served with a smaller amount of noodles than other ramen, so if you need more, ask for a “Kae-dama”! “kaedama” means another bowl of noodles! I decided to ask for half the amount of kaedama. 150 yen (≒$1)

Also, the “Kae-dama” is slightly flavored so that the soup does not become too thin! It is also enjoyable to ask for different noodle hardness for the”Kae-dama”! So good! Thank you for the delicious ramen! Don’t forget to visit the unique restroom at Ichiran! Kumamoto Ramen

Kumamoto is located in Kyushu, the same as Fukuoka, but their ramen is a little different! First, buy a meal ticket! This is a famous Kumamoto Ramen restaurant, Keika. Let’s buy a meal ticket first! I ordered the Katsura Ramen (≒$5.41). What toppings should I order? Let’s go with an egg! 120 yen (≒$0.79)

Keika’s tea is pu-erh tea, which is said to have a fat-reducing effect! That’s thoughtful! Paper aprons are available when you ask the staff! Unlike Hakata Ramen, Kumamoto Ramen contains not only pork bones but also chicken broth, which makes the soup milder. The noodles are thicker, and the burnt garlic is very appetizing!

Another characteristic of Kumamoto Ramen is the “Ma-yu”! Ma-yu is a spicy oil made by frying garlic and other spicy vegetables in lard. Please try it! It is very tasty! The ingredients of the ramen were wakame seaweed stems, boiled egg, Chashu pork, and bamboo shoots! Thank you very much for the tasty ramen!

How was our local ramen tour in Japan? Was there any ramen you would like to try? You can enjoy ramen from all over Japan, even in Tokyo, so if there is any ramen that interests you, please go and try it!
