"A ramen chain that introduced Asahikawa-style Hokkaido ramen to the U.S., opening its first American shop in Bellevue in 2014 and operating locations in cities including Boston, Chicago, and Edgewater, New Jersey. The Asahikawa-style bowls are known for a broth that draws from both seafood and pork and is finished with Japanese soy sauce, reflecting the regional ramen tradition exemplified by Asahikawa’s Ramen Village." - ByChihiro Tomioka
