Ramen shops in Asahikawa although being a city in Hokkaido are more famous for their shoyu ramen. We were on a tour last year of Hokkaido and we stopped for lunch at the Asahikawa Ramen Village. Its a building with about 10 of the more popular ramen shops together in one place. Ramen Santouka was one of the shops in the village but we ate at Aoba Ramen which is supposed to be one of the best in Asahikawa. The waitress at Aoba spoke some english and when we asked for recommendation she told us to order the shoyu ramen. She said that Sapporo is where you should go to have good miso ramen.
