Shio ramen
The story behind the bowl
Founded in 1947, Jiyoken is Hakodate shio ramen at its most elemental: a transparent, quietly savory soup, fine noodles, pork and menma without modern decoration.
Before you go: This is a small historic counter. Arrive at opening and judge it on clarity rather than intensity.
