As a Taiwanese dual-licensed chef and guide, I highly recommend Santouka Ramen in Sapporo. Their smooth Shio and Spicy Miso broths perfectly suit Taiwanese soup-loving palates. The ultimate highlight is the flawless, melt-in-your-mouth char siu, paired with crunchy bamboo shoots and juicy gyoza. An absolute must-eat in Hokkaido!

Taiwanese guide A-Gang highly recommends Menya Yukikaze's Rich Soy Sauce Miso Ramen in Sapporo! The paste-like, ultra-rich broth perfectly coats the chewy, al dente noodles made from Hokkaido wheat. The lightly seasoned chashu beautifully balances the heavy soup. Despite a slightly overcooked egg, this highly-rated ramen is an authentic, must-try Hokkaido culinary experience!

Food Review: Baikohken Ramen, Asahikawa, Hokkaido

Baikohken in Asahikawa is a well-known traditional ramen shop, and its soy sauce ramen is the most representative dish to try. From a Taiwanese palate, the soy sauce broth is slightly salty but still acceptable, reflecting the rich and warming style of ramen in cold Hokkaido. The noodles have a pleasant Hokkaido wheat aroma, while the menma is rather soft and the chashu is slightly dry. The salt ramen is lighter and more suitable for Taiwanese tastes, but less representative of Asahikawa.
