Feast on a steamy and aromatic bowl of noodles at this food village, one of the best places in Asahikawa to try the city’s famous shoyu ramen.

Make your way to the Asahikawa Ramen Village to satisfy your taste buds on different varieties of ramen noodle soups. Slurping ramen is a quintessential pastime of Japanese culture and a tradition that has been enjoyed for centuries. Visit Asahikawa Ramen Village to satisfy your hunger before sightseeing or to refuel after a busy day of activities.

The Asahikawa-style ramen is distinctive in that its broth has a shoyu (soya sauce) base. The broth is typically cooked with chicken parts, fish or pork bones. Other characteristics are a layer of thin oil on the surface of the broth and the use of thick, wavy noodles. Bamboo shoots, egg, scallions and sliced pork are typical toppings that enhance the delicious flavors.

Choose from among several noodle bars at the village, each one a branch of some of the city’s most celebrated ramen restaurants. If you don’t know what to request, check out the photos on the menus. Order at the counter, grab a seat at the bar and watch as the chefs prepare your steaming bowl. Each shop serves its own versions of this classic dish so you might want to try small portions from several different menus.

Be aware that slurping is customary when eating ramen in Japan. The noise of the slurp isn’t considered rude. Some say that a slurp cools your mouth to allow you to consume the hot broth and noodles. Bring your bowl close to your mouth and make this culinary experience a fun one. Try to finish your meal in the recommended time of less than 10 minutes to prevent the noodles from overcooking.

Asahikawa Ramen Village is located about 3 miles (5 kilometers) from central Asahikawa. Notice the large colorful mural of zoo animals painted by university students on the northeastern side of the building. The site is open daily, although the opening hours of each shop might vary. Prices also vary between the bars. Get here by taking the train to Minami-Nagayama Station and then walking. If you drive, park for free at the large adjacent car park.
