【FUKUSHIMA】Everyone loves Kitakata Ramen

Speaking of Fukushima gourmet, 喜多方ラーメン (Kitakata ramen)!

Kitakata ramen chains are now available all over Japan, so it's getting closer to you !

In the authentic Kitakata, there is a culture called "朝ラー (morning ra)", means love eating ramen from the morning.

The strength of the love is that the number of ramen restaurants is the best in Japan compared to the population!

Features of Kitakata ramen

The origin of Kitakata ramen originates from the well-established ramen shop "源来軒 (Genraiken)" which continues to this day, and is said to have begun in the early Showa era when it was sold at the stall as "支那そば (Shina soba)" at that time.

After that, the number of people who inherited the way of making "Shina soba" began to increase, and now it has become the number one ramen town in Japan.

By the way, a group such as "蔵のまち喜多方 老麺会" was established with the aim of inheriting and developing the technology and tradition of ramen!

The noodles

The characteristic of Kitakata ramen noodles is the thick flat noodles made from multi-hydrated noodles.

Noodles have a smooth and chewy texture, and it goes well with the thick soup.

I really love it!

The soup

Kitakata ramen's soup is a light soy sauce soup.

"Everywhere is light soy sauce soup? I'm getting bored ..."

You may think that, but each store's originality comes out here!

Soup uses pork bones, chicken bones, seafood, etc., and the aroma and taste are completely different depending on the store, so the Kitakata citizen chooses the store according to their taste.

The ingredients

チャーシュー (barbecued pork) is a must-have for Kitakata ramen!

There are also differences in the seasoning, but basically they use simmered sardines and ribs, and there are a variety of textures from trotto to rich seasoned barbecued pork.

As for other ingredients, there are many feelings like Menma, Naruto, and long onions.
