Ramen Shodai - Otaru, Hokkaido 🇯🇵 ラーメン初代 - 北海道小樽市

Hokkaido Ramen

Today I took a day trip to Otaru so I visited the popular Ramen Shodai! They are popular for their shoyu ramen. They have been in business since 1994.

Shoyu Ramen - huge chashu! and shoyu soup full of umami!  They cure the shoyu tare for a month to get the smooth rich taste.

Noodles are also cured for 9-10 days to get the smooth yet chewy texture. 

Simple menu
