Santouka New Ramen Menu Tasting

Especially made for families.
That is the beginning of Hokkaido Ramen Santouka. The moment you put it in your mouth a gentle flavor will spread throughout and a little later it will change into a rich and delicious taste. It was in the 1980s that Santouka took its first steps toward dominating the world and began to draw attention with its shio ramen served with a small, pickled plum in a unique round bowl. Santouka started its history when founder Hitoshi Hatanaka said to his family. "I'm going to make delicious ramen."

Under the original production method, the white tonkotsu (pork bone) soup was produced from repeated trial, error, and improvements. It has a mild, gentle flavor and was dedicated it to be delicious to the last drop. The company was founded in March 1988, a mere four months after that soup received rave reviews from Hatanaka's family for its amazing quality. It started with a single restaurant in Asahikawa, Hokkaido. The restaurant had nine seats and a single item on the menu: shio (salt) ramen. This was the beginning of Hokkaido Ramen Santouka.

Hot tea while waiting for the dishes~

Signature - Tokusen toroniku ramen 

Ramen with roasted pork cheeks This is Santouka's original dish. The plain ramen is eaten with pork cheek meat which is on a separate plate. Get your fill of the softness of this cheek meat that instantly melts in your mouth.

Review - The pork cheek is LOVE, hands down. As for the rest of the ingredients, it tastes better when soaked with the broth, eaten together~

NEW from 18th Sept 2017 - Santouka Tantan Men $15

Rich sesame and meat miso taste complements the moderately hot tonkotsu broth. 

Review - It looks spicy but its not. The broth is delicious, not too salty or too rich, well balanced taste.

NEW from 18th Sept 2017 - Roast Beef Ae-Soba $17

Roast beef and homemade wasabi dressing makes the perfect combination along with the sesame paste.

Review - I dont take beef, but my friends do, they said it can be better. HOWEVER the ramen is LOVE! Chewy, appetizing and refreshing, perfect dish for summer~  I wish they have this in pork version too! 

A big thank you to Santouka & Jpassport inviting me and the hospitality plus sharing so much information about the dishes. It was a wonderful and hearty meal best with friends or family, do check them out!
