It tends to be served in a meat-based broth, and uses toppings such as sliced pork (チャーシュー, chāshū), dried seaweed (海苔, nori), kamaboko, green onions, and even corn. Almost every locality or prefecture in Japan has its own variation of ramen, from the tonkotsu ramen of Kyūshū to the miso ramen of Hokkaidō.

Daruma Ken, Sapporo だるま軒




In 1940’s, after the world war 2 was over, there used to be many food-stalls lined along Sosei River, one of them was "Daruma-ken" owned by Senji Nishiyama. Ramen of his came to have good reputation especially for its good hand-made noodles, so he got to sell the noodles to other ramen stands. In those days they made 2 kinds of ramen soup, one was soy-sauce base, the other clear-soup base.
While the owner of "Aji no Sampei" restaurant, Morito Omiya, came to have a new recipe for making another soup of “miso” our traditional foodstuff around 1955.

At the same time, Takayuki Nishiyama, cousin of the Daruma-ken owner and in charge of making the noodles for the stall, succeeded in making the best noodles matching the miso soup-ramen finally.( He is the first president of Nishiyama Noodles Co.)

In this way, the best match of the curly chewy noodle and miso soup was made. Especially in the cold season this ramen keeping our body warm, good combination of taste and various ingredients, appealed to us all in Hokkaido.

博多だるま「福岡・博多」豚骨ラーメン
Hakata Daruma - Fukuoka Tonkotsu Ramen

Fukuoka Prefecture, Fukuoka, Chuo, Watanabedori, 1丁目8−25

- quote -
Hakata Daruma’s ramen is considered the representative ramen of Fukuoka. The soup has received historical recognition across the nation. The restaurant’s most popular ramen is topped with chashu, which is made from a rare cut of pork cheek. A usual order of ramen costs 700 yen with an additional fee of 150 yen for an extra serving of noodles to slurp up with any remaining soup. Free extras include sesame seeds and ginger to add a different taste.
The rich flavor of the soup
is achieved by boiling pork hind-legs over long periods of time. This makes it irresistible once Daruma’s distinctively thin noodles are added, a characteristic of the restaurant since its establishment in 1963. Again, Hakata Daruma provides customers with the option to choose how hard they’d like their noodles. If you’re a ramen first-timer, it’s suggested to go with the standard noodle texture and you can work out your preferences from there.

More than one noodle toghter, the largest batch is about 4 cm wide and consits of 14 ramen noodles side by side.
A shop in Tokyo has a maschine to make "combined noodes", from two to 14 and still tries to combine more. They keep the soup better and thus taste better.
But you can not really slurp them like "real" ramen noodles.
