函館塩ラーメン 五稜郭

Hakodate, a city in Hokkaido, is known for its shio ramen and fresh seafood. If time is limited and you can't visit, Goryokaku in Ogiukubo, Tokyo offers a light shio ramen with Hakodate konbu, a unique konbu harvested around the Hakodate area. The konbu is made into tororokonbu, an umami-rich topping. However, due to global climate change, the konbu is being harvested less. The kelp is made from nutrient-rich areas and acidic rock called ryolite.
