🍜 Hachiya Gojou Sōgyōten (Hachiya Gojou Original Store)

Founded in 1947, the ramen shop "Hachiya" is said to be the original model of Asahikawa ramen, featuring a "double broth x refreshing soy sauce." It is a long-established shop that continues to uphold the traditional methods and flavors since its inception. The best-selling item is, of course, the soy sauce ramen. At first glance, the broth of Hachiya's soy sauce ramen appears quite rich, but taking a sip reveals the delightful combination of the aroma of pork fat and the double broth of pork bone paired with small dried fish. The richness of the broth varies with the amount of roasted pork fat; as the amount of fat increases, the broth's texture becomes heavier. However, everyone's taste preferences differ; there are many customers who feel that even with an increase in pork fat, the broth doesn't taste that rich, making it suitable for those who want to fully enjoy the aroma and flavor of soy sauce.

The double broth with a refreshing soy sauce ramen is said to be the prototype of Asahikawa ramen. The combination of the fragrant pork fat with the tonkotsu and dried sardines creates a perfect match. The color and richness of the broth vary depending on the amount of fragrant pork fat, so try to find the flavor that suits you best.
