函館塩ラーメン 五稜郭 (Goryokaku in Ogikubo, Tokyo)

Hakodate, a city in Hokkaido, is known for its shio ramen and fresh seafood. If you can't visit Hakodate, Goryokaku in Ogiukubo, Tokyo offers a light shio ramen with Hakodate konbu, a unique konbu harvested around the Hakodate area. This konbu is easily made into tororokonbu, an umami-rich topping that melts into the soup. However, due to global climate change, the water around the southern edge of Hokkaido is becoming less harvested. The konbu is made from a nutrient-rich area where the chishima and kuroshio currents meet, and ryolite, an acidic rock, makes it a perfect substrate.

I'm currently breaking down the Top 100 #hyakumeiten #百名店 shops from around Japan. This one is 39/100 on the Tokyo list.
