Recommended bowl: Hakodate style

Master Yamamoto-san grew up in Hakodate, an area known for shio ramen with clear soup and straight noodles. Yamamoto-san's soup stock is made from pork bones, chicken bones, Hokkaido kelp and dried scallop ligaments. The noodles are supplied by Deguchi Seimen, based in Hokkaido. The bowls are topped with ofu (dried wheat gluten), which is quite common in Hakodate. The side menu of squid rice is also popular. Also keep an eye out for seasonal specials.
