Relish internationally-beloved pork bone salt ramen originated in Asahikawa, Hokkaido.
Santouka began when the founder Hatanaka announced to his family that he was going to make delicious ramen. After trials, errors, and improvement, he came up with his unique pork bone white soup which is well-rounded. The restaurant is now located internationally and popular regardless of the nationality of customers.
Santouka’s care can be felt by their dishes as well as the taste. In all of their restaurants, the heavy, smaller sized bowl without widening at the top is used. The thickness is designed to keep the soup hot and preserve the aroma and deliciousness until the moment the customer begins to sip the soup. The rare color of indigo blue for the ramen bowl is well liked and the restaurant’s theme color.
The side menu is also popular - their signature menu “Tokusen Toroniku” made of the rare pork cheek meat, “Negi Meshi,” the familiar rice bowl topped with katsuobushi (dried bonito), seaweed, and green onions. Customers love many of these sides as much as ramen.

點了醬油拉麵，拉麵湯上面浮著一層油脂，還上撒了許多芝麻，兩塊肥嫩的叉燒肉很入味好吃，味道也不會太鹹，很滿意。
