Black Soy Sauce Ramen Called Toyako Black -Ippontei around Lake Toya-

Ippontei (一本亭) is a popular ramen restraunt in Toyako Onsen Resort (洞爺湖温泉) located in the south side of Lake Toya (洞爺湖) and is famous for getting the Bib Gourmand in MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 Special Edition. The ramen restraunt has an atomosphere such as a sushi restaurant, and there are some tables and family customers seem to enojoy. Local people love this ramen restraunt, and there were 4 groups of local people when I visited here around 13:00 on weekdays.

I sat at a counter seat and read a menu. Because black soy sauce ramen (黒醬油ラーメン) was popular, I ordered it and chinese dumplings. The price of the black soy sauce ramen was JPY 700, and the price of the chinese dumplings were JPY 500. Approximately 10 minutes later, the black soy sauce ramen and the chinese dumplings were served successively. Ingredients were a roasted pork fillet, bamboo shoots, a wheat gluten and green onions. Almost those were produced in Hokkaido.

This black soup is called "Toyako Black (洞爺湖ブラック)" and is cool name. I supposed that it was too salty as much as the appearance was black, but it was different. The soup had sweetness like soba noodles soup and was just right seasoning. Noodles were made by Nishiyama making-noodles factory and went well with the soup. The large roasted pork fillet caught my eyes, too.

The chinese dumplings seemed to be popular, and local people ordered it. The chinese dumplings were just out from a pan, and it was tasty, too.
