Sanjo Curry Ramen

A local ramen that has been beloved for over half a century in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, known as a town of blacksmiths. The curry soup, which combines Japanese-style dashi with spices, is a deep world where each shop competes with their own unique recipes. Thick Chinese noodles are loaded with plenty of vegetables and pork, creating a bowl that warms you from the core even in cold winter. With over 80 shops serving it throughout the city, the local way to enjoy it is to go shop-hopping with a food crawling map in hand.
