Mizuno

Shoga Ramen Mizuno (生姜ラーメンみづの) is a long-established ramen restaurant founded in 1965 in Asahikawa city, and is near Tokiwa Park and a traffic circle. Mr. Ryuji Mizuno (水野龍司) is a restaurant owner now, and the Mizuno is well-known for serving Soy Sauce Broth Ginger Ramen (生姜ラーメン). Because the temperature sometimes gets down to 30 C below zero in the Asahikawa in a winter, I suppose that ramen using ginger that is effective for warming a body is popular with Asahikawa people, so a lot of customers come to savor it. By the way, a parking lot is not provided.

The ramen restaurant with an atmosphere such as the Showa period is not large. All the seats are table seats, so I guess that even family customers enjoy meals. A lots of autographed cards are closely stuck on a wall, so I think that the Mizuno is also popular with celebrities.

ASAHIKAWA

Asahikawa (旭川) that about 340,000 people live is the 2nd largest commercial city in Hokkaido, and has flourished as the center of the North Hokkaido area. Woodworks have been prosperous since the old days, and furniture is famous. Because water is clear, a liquor such as sake of Otokoyama (男山) and Godo Shusei (合同酒精) are famous, too. Popular tourist attractions such as Asahiyama Zoo (旭山動物園) and Biei (美瑛) are around the Asahikawa, so a lot of tourists use tourist bases in the North Hokkaido. As for a climate, the Asahikawa is located in Kamikawa Basin, the largest basin in the Hokkaido, so it is hot that temperature rises to 30 degrees C in a summer, and it is cold that temperature falls to -25 degrees C in a winter, and it snow very hard, too. So a winter festival using the snow is famous. Article is here

Soy Sauce Broth Ginger Ramen

I visited here around 17:00 on a weekday. No customers came. As its name suggests on a signbord, the Soy Sauce Broth Ginger Ramen is famous, so I could not help eating it, and ordered it. The price was JPY 630. They also serve Miso Broth Ramen and Salt Broth Ramen, but the Ginger Ramen has only the Soy Sauce Broth.

About 5 minutes later, the Soy Sauce Broth Ginger Ramen was served. Bamboo shoots, bean sprouts, green nions and roasted pork fillets were on noodles. I had a sip of soup immediately. It tasted light soy sauce flavor. The soup turned into very mild by the ginger, and I did not feel salty than its looks. It was tasty! My body warmed very much. I think that it is suitable for a cold winter in the Asahikawa. The noodles made by Kato Ramen went well with the soup, too. Thanks for the tasty ramen!
