Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

English Review:
A nice ramen chain to go to for lunch or dinner. I’ve been to many different ramen restaurants in Hokkaido and there is a taste of authenticity to their noodles. I was seated down immediately and they make it a point to serve you water as you sit down.
The Ramen:
I had the spicy miso soup base. It was a bit on the greasy side, but very filling and very savory. There was a very rich soup base that packs a little heat. Not so much that it overwhelms the entire dish but brings a little spice.
You can order the noodles to your liking; like a little softer or a little harder. They’ve got a nice chew to them that makes ramen, ramen.
Each standard bowl comes with a boiled egg (have to ask beforehand if you want soft boiled) bamboo shoots, and a couple slices of chashu. The chashu is rich and tender. It almost melts in your mouth.
Karrage Combo:
With the combo you get 3 – 4 pieces of nicely fried boneless chicken, and an extra bowl of rice. The karrage is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The rice is your standard bowl of Japanese rice.
Tl;dr: ⁴⁄₅ stars; decent ramen; nice quick service; tasty
