Asahikawa Ramen - Japan's #1 Choice

Asahikawa Ramen

In short, ramen is noodle soup. Not so complicated you would think, but in reality countless numbers of ramen variations exist in Japan, specific to region, city and shop.

Most ramen broths are made using pork or chicken (or both) as the main bases. In addition, shops (or regions) will add any number of ingredients such as fish, beef, garlic, mushrooms, seaweed and others to make their broth distinctive.
