“A must have dish” 

Ramen is a must have dish in Hokkaido. The best seller in Gantetsu Hokkaido Ramen is the “Hokkaido Charshu Tonkotsu”. Don’t judge a ramen by its presentation. What we loved about the Hokkaido Charshu Tonkotsu is firstly, the soup that hits the spot which is light and tasty. Secondly, the delicious charshu that is served in thick, succulent slices. The textures and flavors of their ramen will keep you craving for more. Try the ‘Ramen Set’; it comes with gyoza and green tea and is highly recommended.

“Soft and chewy ramen noodles”

Mitsuyado Seimen is famous for Tsukemen (dipping ramen). The service is quick and efficient. The difference between this ramen shop is you get to choose “hot” or “cold” noodles. Roasted Pork Tsukemen was served dry with a dipping sauce, and the chewy ramen noodles are thicker than usual. Their noodles are made daily from imported Japanese wheat flour. Their special dish is the Yuzu (citrus) dipping soup with pork meat, fish cakes and bamboo shoots. It’s worth to try their Tsukemen!

The company was founded in March 1988, a mere four months after that soup received rave reviews from Hatanaka’s family for its amazing quality. It started with a single restaurant in Asahikawa, Hokkaido.

The reason why we stick to our ingredients and production method is to serve “Family friendly, delicious, and healthy ramen.” That is why we use minimal salt and artificial seasonings.

“Shio flavor, the most popular”

I ordered “Tokusen Toroniku Ramen” and this ramen is only available in limited quantities every day. The soup of ramen is pork-based but we can choose from four types of flavors. I chose the shio flavor as it is known to be the most popular flavor. This is a pork bone based ramen but the flavor is not as strong which I personally find it enjoyable. The toppings are served in a generous amount. The texture of the meat is excellent and it brings the whole dish together. I would really recommend Santouka.
