Recommended bowl: Since 1947

Open since 1947, this small shop keeps it simple, serving a traditional style of Hakodate shio soup made with pork, chicken and vegetables — no msg. The master makes the noodles every morning by hand. Also recommended are the fried gyoza, housemade as well. Run by a husband and wife team, Jiyoken's ramen costs just 500 yen. One of the higher ranked shops in Hakodate.
