    Beloved neighborhood ramen shop in Hakodate hot spring district. The kitchen produces a crystal-clear shio broth slow-simmered with chicken bones, pork, and natural Hakodate kombu kelp. A regional specialty is the Gagome Kombu Shio Ramen, enriched with Hakodate-indigenous mucilaginous gagome kelp that infuses the soup with silky oceanic umami.
