Ramen Santouka 山頭火

The moment you put it in your mouth a gentle flavor will spread throughout and a little later it will change into a rich and delicious taste.
It was in the 1980s that Santouka took its first steps toward dominating the world and began to draw attention with its shio ramen served with a small, pickled plum in a unique round bowl.
Santouka started its history when founder Hitoshi Hatanaka said to his family.
"I'm going to make delicious ramen."

Under the original production method, the white tonkotsu (pork bone) soup was produced from repeated trial, error, and improvements. It has a mild, gentle flavor and was dedicated it to be delicious to the last drop.
The company was founded in March 1988, a mere four months after that soup received rave reviews from Hatanaka's family for its amazing quality.

It started with a single restaurant in Asahikawa, Hokkaido.
The restaurant had nine seats and a single item on the menu: shio (salt) ramen.

This was the beginning of Hokkaido Ramen Santouka.
