    Best for

    Situated adjacent to Asahikawa's iconic Tokiwa Rotary, Menya Hizo stands out for its delicate citrus-accented ramen. The broth combines clear chicken bones and mild pork stock with Japanese yuzu zest, producing an aromatic, refreshing soup that cuts through northern cold. A mountain of thinly shredded white leeks, bamboo shoots, and sliced chashu adorns each bowl.
