Hokkaido Kawakamigunteshikagachou Mashu 1-1-18

This popular ramen shop is located in Teshikaga at the mountain foot of Lake Mashu. The soup is made by stewing the rich subterranean water of Lake Mashu for a long time, and has a deep flavor that keeps the traditional preparation methods alive. The soup is boiled over a long period of time over low heat, a process passed down from the time when wood stoves were still used, which brings out the savoriness of the pork bones. The ramen combines a seafood soup with fragrant soy sauce and rich miso, and has long been loved by both locals and tourists. The Soy Sauce enriched with seafood, made from numerous types of seafood and vegetables, could not be made without ingredients from Hokkaido. It has also been acknowledged by the Shoyu Meisho (soy sauce master) held by the information center.

We liked the miso-based ramen. The price was reasonable. We even bought two boxes of dry noodles with soup paste after the meal. The boss/manager was very friendly. When I asked if he had other...
