Sapporo-Ramen is a local ramen that develops mainly in Hokkaido Sapporo City, Kitakata- Ramen is in Kitakata City Fukushima Pref, and Hakata-Ramen is in Hakata district Fukuoka Pref.

This time, I will introduce Sapporo-Ramen

Sapporo-Ramen

Sapporo-Ramen has a history of about 100 years
At that time, it was a very different style from the current Sapporo-Ramen.

Current Sapporo Ramen is mainstream with miso flavor. Noodles are thickened and crimped noodles.

In addition to Char-siu pork (roasted pork fillet) and Menma (bamboo shoots), ingredients are generally frying and serving vegetables such as cabbage and bean sprouts.
One of the features adds more butter and corn as a topping.
The reason why Sapporo-Ramen became famous is that the chain stores of many stores spread all over Japan and the launch of instant Sapporo-Ramen.

The characteristics of Sapporo-Ramen and the style of instant Sapporo-Ramen are different, but
instant Sapporo-Ramen is placed in any supermarket.

It seems that Sapporo-Ramen’s famousness will not go down in the future.

See you.
