Surf Clam Ramen with Chewy Surf Clam -Aji-no-Ichiryu in Tomakomai-

Aji-no-Ichiryu (味の一龍) is a famous ramen restraunt in Shirakaba-cho, Tomakomai city and was founded in 1983. Jumobo roasted pork fillet ramen (ジャンボチャーシュー麺) is famous and many large serving lovers come. I visited here around 17:00 on weekdays. The restraunt was small but cozy and there was 1 group of visitor. This restraunt have tables and family customers seem to enjoy, too. In addtion, many manga books were arranged on a bookshelf, and visitor can read the manga books freely. I sat a counter seat and read a menu. I had no motivation to eat a large serving of ramen and ordered surf clam ramen (ホッキラーメン) using the surf clam that specialty product of Tomakomai. The price was JPY 980.

About 10 minutes later, the surf clam ramen was served. It had salty soup and noodles were topped with 8 slices of the surf clam. the ramen noodles seaweed was topped with Wakame, too, and the ramen was just like the sea. The surf clam was very chewy when I ate it. It was very tasty. The soup had surf clam taste and enhanced the flavor. By the way, an owner served a free coffee when I ate up. Thank you!
