Teshikaga Ramen

Teshikaga Ramen (弟子屈ラーメン) is a popular ramen restraunt based in Teshikaga town located in the northern part of Kushiro city, and is run by FBS corp. Mr. Kenichi Sugawara (菅原憲一), a company president, has established it in Sapporo city since 2003. Their head office moved to go back to the origin of its name from the Sapporo to the Teshikaga in 2016. They are based in the head office to bring back the taste of old Teshikaga Ramen. Except the head office, ramen restraunt braches open a business in the Sapporo, Kita-hiroshima, New Chitose Airport and Fukuoka Airport.

My visited place is the head office. The ramen restraunt with an atmosphere of a typical ramen restraunt is large, and counter seats, table seats and a small separate Japanese style room are provided, so I guess that even family customers may enjoy meals. But the ramen restraunt is always crowded with customers. Mashu Onsen (摩周温泉) and Akan Mashu National Park with Lake Mashu and Lake Kussharo are relatively near here, so you might as well come the restaurant during your trip.

Ramen of Hokkaido

Ramen is a noodle soup dish topped with ingredients. It is said that Chinese noodles is the root of the ramen, and there are various theories, for example, Mr. Mistukuni Tokugawa (徳川光圀 * Mitokomon (水戸黄門)) ate the ramen in 1697 for the first time in Japan or the first ramen was that Keitaimen noodles (経帯麺) served in 1488 was written in Biryueken Diary (蔭涼軒日録). Noodle soup dishes were spread out in Japan because Nanking noodles (南京そば) was served in various China Towns, Japan. In Hakodate with a China Town, Yowaken (養和軒) served the Nanking noodles in 1884. In Sapporo, it is a root of Sapporo Ramen that a noodle soup dish was cooked by Mr. Wang Wen Zai (王文彩), a chief chef of Takeya Shokudo (竹家食堂), in 1922. Houran (芳蘭), a branch of the Takeya Shokudo, opened a business in 1933 in Asahikawa. Asahikawa Ramen, Sapporo Ramen and Hakodate Ramen called the 3 Major Ramen in Hokkaido were born. But current ramen do not succeed to the taste of those ramen. Article is here

Soy Sauce Broth Ramen with Seafood Flavor

I visited here around 14:00 on a weekday, but there were a lot of customers. The ramen restraunt was popular after all. I sat at a counter seat, and asked a waitress about ramen restraunt's recommendation. She replied me "Soy Sauce Broth Ramen with Seafood Flavor (魚介絞り醤油). That was introduced by The Sekai Gyoten News (ザ！世界仰天ニュース), a popular Japanese TV program", so I ordered it. The price was JPY 800.

About 10 minutes later, the ramen was served. A ramen bowl just like a ceramic tea bowl with Wabi and sabi caught my eyes. A roasted pork fillet, bamboo shoots, a Japanese marinated soft boiled egg, a dried laver and green onions were on noodles. I ate a sip of soup immediately. It was tasty! The soup mixed basic soup stock cooked more than 3 times pork bones compared to other rival ramen restraunts with using underflow water of the Lake Mashu for 20 hours over a low heat with fishery products and vegetables soup stock was rich taste with bitterness. Even the fishery product flavor was very different from the fishery product flavor of Kushiro Ramen.

The noodles using 100% flour produced in Hokkaido were speical ordered egg noodles made by Sagamiya Making-Noodle Factory (さがみ屋製麺), and went well with the soup. Egg noodles were often used in Sapporo Ramen, so I wondered if this ramen was blended the Sapporo Ramen with the Kushiro Ramen. Those feeled good going down, so I finished eating the ramen quickly. Thanks for the tasty ramen!
