Recommended bowl: Nostalgic shop

Another beloved family-run shop with a deep history, Tsuruya has been cooking the same recipes since 1972. There are a variety of bowls on the menu but the staff recommends the 'miso yasai ramen', a pork-based miso soup topped with bean sprouts, onions, negi, bamboo shoots and pork chashu. The bowls here are prepared in a similar way to Yoshino (another famous Asahikawa shop). The miso paste is mixed directly into the bowl and the veggies are fried on the side in a wok with dashi soup. A nostalgic bowl for many.
