Sapporo: Ramen-Making Class
Learn how to make ramen from scratch in Sapporo. Knead the dough, cut the noodles, and enjoy your handmade ramen with a delicious broth.
A Hokkaido shoyu (soy sauce) ramen variant from Asahikawa, the sister city 90 minutes east of Sapporo. Curly noodles in a dashi-and-soy broth with a lard layer to keep heat through winter.
Asahikawa shoyu ramen developed independently of Sapporo miso ramen, codified by Asahikawa's Ramen Aoba in 1947 with a double-soup of pork bone and seafood-stock dashi seasoned with soy. The bowl earned Asahikawa its place as Hokkaido's second ramen city by the 1980s. Sapporo's ramen counters now serve Asahikawa shoyu bowls alongside Sapporo miso, giving visitors the regional comparison without leaving the city; the Asahikawa bowl stands as the Hokkaido shoyu reference.
