30 Best local delicacies ranking (Kyushu & Okinawa region)

30 Best local delicacies ranking (Kyushu & Okinawa region) english 繁体中文(traditional chinese) Table of Contents 1. Introduction 2. Local delicacies ranking (Kyushu & Okinawa region)   1. Introduction In Japan, many dishes are unique to each region. These dishes familiar to the locals are called variously “local gourmet,” “B-class gourmet,” “soul food,” etc., and are very popular. They are many dishes that have been developed in recent years and include a variety of genres such as Western and Chinese cuisine. On the other hand, “local cuisine” has a history of more than 100 years and is mainly Japanese cuisine that makes use of local ingredients and food culture. Many of these dishes have survived because they are supported by the local people, and basically, all of them are of a certain standard of taste. However, it is impossible for foreign travelers with a limited number of travel days to eat all of the unique regional cuisines. Therefore, we have compiled more than 1,000 types of “local gourmet,” “B-class gourmet,” “soul food,” and “local cuisine” and ranked them by region in order of the number of hashtags on social networking services (SNS). We hope that this ranking will make it easierread more30 Best local delicacies ranking (Kyushu & Okinawa region)

  在東京即可購得的各地鐵路便當特輯,已經來到第5彈囉,本篇同樣要介紹在新宿車站購入的鐵路便當。從第1彈開始到這篇第5彈,總共為大家介紹了50種不同特色的鐵路便當,而這篇也將會是鐵路便當特輯的最後一篇了。 說到要在東京購買鐵路便當,其實在東京車站販售的種類是比較多的,之前我也曾經兩度到東京車站去買鐵路便當。不過其實東京車站離我家或是公司都有一點距離,到那裡去買便當的話會花費太多時間,所以這50種便當幾乎都是在公司附近的新宿車站買到的。 除了季節限定的便當之外,在新宿車站有販賣的鐵路便當我幾乎都介紹過了,所以之後我想利用這段期間在購買便當時所蒐集到的各種資料,以「便當熱量排行榜」等比較多元、有趣的方式,來向大家介紹鐵路邊當。 如果你還沒有閱讀過第1彈到第4彈的文章,但是對於日本的鐵路便當相當感興趣,或是想要更深入瞭解的讀者,我會將文章連結貼到下方,請一定要點進去看看喔。   EKIBEN 1 鐵路便當1   EKIBEN 2 鐵路便當2   EKIBEN 3 鐵路便當3   EKIBEN 4 鐵路便當4         1.

日本旅行的拉麵攻略③ 目錄 1、前言 2、拉麵的種類 2-1、醬油拉麵 2-2、鹽味拉麵 2-3、味噌拉麵 2-4、豚骨拉麵 2-5、雞白湯拉麵 2-6、沾麵 2-7、油拌麵 3、配料的種類 4、拉麵的點餐方式 5、拉麵消費金額最高的城市排行與前段班城市的在地拉麵介紹   3、配料的種類 不同種類的拉麵都有各自適合的各種配料。   青蔥 青蔥是一種幾乎全部類型的拉麵都會加入的配料,對拉麵而言可以說是靈魂伴侶般的存在。青蔥在拉麵上桌時就幾乎都已經添加,不過也有許多店家提供加點青蔥或是青蔥增量的服務。     筍乾 與青蔥一樣,筍乾也是幾乎每種拉麵都會添加的食材。不過九州風格的豚骨拉麵則比較少見有加入筍乾的。其原因據說是因為在太平洋戰爭後的糧荒時期難以取得筍乾,因此福岡縣使用紅薑絲作為筍乾的替代品,所以九州豚骨風格的拉麵配料便較少能見到筍乾了。   叉燒 至於叉燒則分為兩種點餐方式,一種是店家將叉燒作為基本配料,點餐時就會添加在拉麵上;另一種方式則是要加點才會附上。以前的拉麵幾乎都是使用豬肉叉燒,而近年來多了雞肉叉燒等多樣類型的叉燒可以選擇。如果喜歡吃叉燒的話,有些店家也會直接將叉燒增量的拉麵獨立成菜單的一個品項,以便直接點餐。另外,肉類配料除了叉燒之外,最近也有一些店家推出以烤牛肉作為配料的拉麵。     蛋 大多數的拉麵店都會提供溏心蛋作為配料,溏心蛋是一種會在蛋表面滷漬醬料的水煮蛋,通常會以半熟的方式提供,不過也有一些店家是提供未滷漬醬料的、一般的水煮蛋。另外,像德島拉麵等,也有另一種拉麵的流派是加入生蛋。作為拉麵配料,蛋擁有多樣的料理方式,不過少有店家將蛋作為拉麵的基本配料,大部分的店家都會以加點的形式來提供。   海苔 海苔也是分為基本配料、加點添加,這兩種點餐方式,並且跟筍乾一樣,似乎也較少見到添加海苔的豚骨拉麵。不過,家系拉麵等濃厚湯頭風格的醬油豚骨拉麵則較常見將海苔作為基本配料。而沾麵及油拌麵是使用海苔絲。     蔬菜 豆芽菜是最常見添加於拉麵的蔬菜,對於醬油拉麵、味噌拉麵來說,是不可或缺的存在。尤其是在品嚐豚骨醬油拉麵等這種濃厚湯頭風格的拉麵時,豆芽菜清脆的口感及清爽的味道,可以幫助直到喝完最後一口湯都不覺得膩。不過,鹽味拉麵、小魚乾熬製拉麵等魚貝類拉麵、豚骨拉麵則是不一定會添加豆芽菜作為配料。 菠菜與醬油拉麵、高麗菜與味噌拉麵,這兩種組合非常合得來。也有一些拉麵會添加洋蔥、韭菜等蔬菜。例如像東京都的「八王子拉麵」就以加入碎洋蔥而廣為人知。玉米粒也是很適合加在味噌拉麵的配料,可能是因為味噌拉麵的發源地札幌,同時也是玉米的產地,所以將玉米粒加進味噌拉麵裡也是一種很常見的組合。   紅薑絲、辣芥菜 紅薑絲及辣芥菜這兩種配料,幾乎只有在豚骨拉麵裡看得到。不過也有一些店家不是提供以梅醋浸漬而製成的紅薑絲,而是使用白薑絲作為配料。   大蒜 大部分的店家都會免費提供大蒜給客人,也有一些店家是提供蒜頭粒,讓客人自行以壓碎器將蒜頭壓碎後,再添加到拉麵裡。   特製、配料全加 在一開始點餐時就想要加入所有的配料的話,這時候通常在菜單上面會被稱作為「特製」或「配料全加」(全部乘),也有些店家會使用「DELUXE」、「DX」、「SUPREME」等各式各樣的名稱。 不只一般有湯的拉麵,沾麵等各種風格的拉麵也有「特製」或「配料全加」可以選擇。當然,如果配料全部都加的話,一碗啦麵的價格就會變得比較高,不過對於不熟悉日文的外國旅客或是怕麻煩的人來說,比起要一個一個配料加點,直接選擇「特製」或「配料全加」或許會是一個比較方便的作法。   東京都 香辣拉麵 表裏 蓋麵DX 東京都 旨辛ラーメン 表裏 あんかけDX   東京都 沒用的鄰居 SUPREME 東京都 駄目な隣人 SUPREME   東京都 俺之空 俺之本節拉麵(配料全加) 東京都 俺の空 俺の本節らあめん(全部乗せ)   4、拉麵的點餐方式 日本最大美食介紹網站TABELOG的資料顯示,有英文菜單的拉麵店只佔日本全部拉麵店的0.9%,而在TABELOG刊登的所有餐飲店中有2.1%是有英文菜單的,也就是說有英文菜單的拉麵店比例不及一半。因此我想對於不熟悉日文的外國旅客來說,在日本拉麵店點餐是一件相當有難度的事情對吧。 不過,在拉麵店點餐是有技巧的,只要掌握這些技巧,即使看不懂日文也能輕鬆的點到拉麵。近年來,許多拉麵店都會導入以自動餐券機販售餐券的系統,不過大多數的餐券機都只有標註日文,而且經常會遇到連拉麵照片都沒有提供參考的店家。我想,應該有很多外國旅客會在餐券機前面感到不知所措吧。 其實,許多拉麵店會將推薦餐點照順序排放在餐券機上,因此在餐券機最左邊、最上面的那顆按鍵,大部分都是該店家的推薦餐點,或是最受消費者歡迎的拉麵。 而最上排左到右的按鍵,通常會有兩種排放方式,一種是會將不同風味的拉麵放在同一排;另一種是將與最左按鍵相同風味,但是添加不同配料的拉麵放在同一排。如果是將不同風味的拉麵放在同一排,例如最左是「醬油風味」,在它的右側是「味噌風味」等其他風味的拉麵的話,價格通常會與最左邊的按鈕差不多;如果是將同樣風味、添加不同配料的拉麵放在同一排的話,整排菜單的價格就會從左到右變高,這是其中一個可以分辨菜單的方法。 當然,也有一些店家並不是依照這種邏輯來設定餐券機。 另一種找到店家推薦或人氣拉麵的方式,就是記住日文的推薦「おすすめ(おススメ)」這幾個字,「おすすめ(おススメ)」這幾個字通常會以紅色或是黃色文字等顯眼的方式出現,放在推薦餐點的旁邊,如果有看到這樣的標示,就請把上述「最左邊最上面法則」忘記吧,請不要猶豫地按下「おすすめ(おススメ)」那個按鈕。   再來,餐券機上面價格最貴的按鈕,大部分都會是放入全部配料的「特製」或「配料全加」(全部乘)拉麵,所以如果是「雖然點餐時看不懂日文,但是希望可以品嚐到配料豐富的美味拉麵!」,希望能夠有這種體驗的外國旅客,我個人會「推薦」大家購買餐券機上面價格最高的餐點。 如果不是以自動餐券機點餐,而是需要以口頭方式點餐的店家,建議可以選擇直式菜單最右邊的拉麵。以直式書寫的菜單,通常店家會把最為推薦的拉麵寫在最右邊;若是橫式菜單的話,就要點寫在最上面的餐點。不會說日文也沒關係,只要明確地指出菜單上想要的品項,幾乎所有店家都能夠清楚地接收到點餐。     5、拉麵消費金額最高的城市排行與前段班城市的在地拉麵介紹 最後想跟大家分享日本各地區的拉麵消費金額,我搜尋了日本總務省統計的平均1人外食拉麵的消費金額排行榜(統計對象為兩人以上家庭)。以下是日本所有都道府縣政府的所在都市,以及政令指定都市(共52個都市),從2019年到2021年這3年間的平均數據。 平均1人拉麵消費金額(外食)排行榜(日元)   以比較容易理解的方式來說明這個排行榜的話,拉麵消費金額前段班的都市在東北地區(第1名:山形市、第3名:青森市、第4名:仙台市等),以及上越・北陸地區(第2名:新潟市、第6名:金澤市等),可以說在寒冷地區的拉麵消費金額是比較高的。順帶一提,平均1人的食鹽攝取量也是由寒冷地區取得前段班名次,根據日本厚生勞動省的國民健康・營養調查(2019年)資料指出,平均1人的食鹽攝取量第1名為北陸地區、第2名為東北地區。從歷史上來看,像是東北地區這種氣候寒冷的地方,也有較多高鹽度料理,原因是因為從前住在寒冷的東北地區的人民,必須藉由攝取多鹽份來讓血壓上升,以維持體溫,因此在各式各樣不同的料理中,尤其是鹽份高的「拉麵」更受到這些寒冷地區的人民的喜愛。 這份拉麵消費金額排行榜還有另一個讓我覺得很有趣的地方是,以「在地拉麵」獲得高知名度的味噌拉麵發源地札幌市為第20名、豚骨拉麵發源地福岡市為第36名等,這些地區竟然都不在消費量的前面名次。在排行榜前面名次的那些都市,似乎都有非常多深受當地居民喜愛的、各種不同風格的「在地拉麵」,請讓我在以下為大家一一介紹,希望可以讓更多外國朋友們認識這些風味豐富、食材多元、又充滿在地風情的「日本拉麵」。           第1名:山形縣的在地拉麵 酒田拉麵(酒田市)     雞內臟拉麵(新庄市)     雞肉中華拉麵(天童市)    冷拉麵(山形市)   赤湯拉麵(南陽市)   米澤拉麵(米澤市)     第2名:新潟縣的在地拉麵 新潟爽口醬油拉麵(新潟市) 無照片   新潟濃厚味噌拉麵(新潟市) 無照片   燕三條背脂拉麵(燕市、三條市)   長岡生薑醬油拉麵(長岡市)   三條咖哩拉麵(三條市)   第3名:青森縣的在地拉麵 津輕小魚乾熬煮拉麵(弘前市) 圖像提供:青森的美食們     青森拉麵(青森市) 無照片       味噌咖哩牛乳拉麵(青森市) 圖像提供:青森的美食們     八戶拉麵(八戶市)     第4名:宮城縣的在地拉麵 仙台拉麵(仙台市)   氣仙沼拉麵(氣仙沼市)     第5名:櫪木縣的在地拉麵 佐野拉麵(佐野市)

日本旅行的拉麵攻略②

日本旅行的拉麵攻略② 目錄 1、前言 2、拉麵的種類 2-1、醬油拉麵 2-2、鹽味拉麵 2-3、味噌拉麵 2-4、豚骨拉麵 2-5、雞白湯拉麵 2-6、沾麵 2-7、油拌麵 3、配料的種類 4、拉麵的點餐方式 5、拉麵消費金額最高的城市排行與前段班城市的在地拉麵介紹   2-4、豚骨拉麵 豚骨拉麵與其他以調味料來區分的「醬油」、「鹽味」、「味噌」拉麵不同,是以熬製湯頭的豬骨來取其稱呼。而豚骨拉麵的白濁湯頭,是以大火將豬骨長時間熬製出的油脂及膠質乳化而來。 說到豚骨拉麵有許多人都會提到博多拉麵或長濱拉麵(兩者皆在福岡市),但其發源地據說是在福岡縣久留米市。有一說是在1937年,久留米市的「南京千兩」把「關東地區流行的、配料加入筍乾的支那拉麵」與「長崎強棒麵的豚骨基底湯頭」作為發想,開發而成的一種拉麵風味。 豚骨拉麵(福岡縣 博多一雙) 豚骨ラーメン(福岡県 博多一双) 因為有些豚骨拉麵店家會散發出所謂「豚骨臭」的強烈味道,所以豚骨拉麵可以說是一種喜好分明的拉麵類型,當然,若以宗教信仰而言也有不能品嚐豚骨拉麵的伊斯蘭教徒族群。因為「豚骨臭」強烈的味道,大多數的人會認為豚骨拉麵是屬於「濃厚系湯頭」的拉麵,而事實上也有清爽風味的豚骨拉麵。 此外,豚骨拉麵的麵體大多是使用如麵線一般極細的直麵,所以在點餐的時候需要選擇麵條的軟硬度。而關於麵條的軟硬度,從硬的開始說起,分為「針金」(非常硬)、「BARIKATA」(很硬)、「KATA」(硬)、「普通」(適中)、「YAWA」(軟)、「BARIYAWA」(很軟)等。吃豚骨拉麵時大多數的人都會選擇、「BARIKATA」(很硬)、「KATA」(硬)等偏硬的麵條。 在配料方面,豚骨拉麵與豬肉叉燒、木耳、紅薑絲、辣芥菜、芝麻相當契合,也有許多店家會免費提供紅薑絲、辣芥菜、芝麻給客人。不過,因為加入紅薑絲、辣芥菜後會使豚骨拉麵的風味產生很大的改變,所以也有店家不提供這兩種配料。 豚骨拉麵(福岡縣 長濱NO.1) 豚骨ラーメン(福岡県 長浜ナンバーワン) 另外,豚骨拉麵有一個很特別的文化叫做「加麵」(替玉)。一般在拉麵店點餐的時候,能夠選擇想要的麵量是「普通」或是「大碗」,而在豚骨拉麵專賣店則是更常見在品嚐到一半時能夠「多加一坨麵」的餐飲文化,並且「加麵」也跟前面說明的一樣,可以選擇麵條的硬度。很多人也會在「加麵」的時候才加入配料中的紅薑絲、辣芥菜一起享用,品嚐到一半的時候才改變豚骨拉麵的風味,便可以在一碗麵中享受到不同的風味變化。 豚骨拉麵的「在地拉麵」則以發源地久留米拉麵、博多拉麵、長濱拉麵、熊本拉麵(熊本縣)、宮崎拉麵(宮崎縣)、鹿兒島拉麵(鹿兒島縣)等地為主,幾乎都座落在九州也是豚骨拉麵的特色之一。 久留米拉麵(福岡縣 道 麵志) 久留米ラーメン(福岡県 道 麺志) 而豚骨拉麵的另一個特徵就是擁有許多衍生種類的拉麵,如豚骨醬油拉麵。而豚骨醬油拉麵的「在地拉麵」則有和歌山拉麵(和歌山)、德島拉麵(德島縣)、家系拉麵(神奈川縣)等。 豚骨醬油拉麵(福岡縣 大平山 門司港本店) 豚骨醤油ラーメン(福岡県 大平山 門司港本店) 德島拉麵(德島縣 寶拉麵) 徳島ラーメン(徳島県 宝ラーメン)   2-5、雞白湯拉麵 雞白湯拉麵的湯頭是使用雞骨或整隻雞,長時間熬煮成白濁色的高湯,有許多店家為了提供風味更豐厚的湯頭,會再加上雞腳、豚骨、蔬菜等食材一起燉煮。 雞白湯拉麵(東京都 雞拉麵 三步一) 鶏白湯ラーメン(東京都 鶏そば 三歩一)   雞白湯拉麵(東京都 雞豚骨 一學) 鶏白湯ラーメン(東京都 鶏豚骨 一學) 不僅如此,其實還有更濃厚、如奶油白醬般的雞白湯拉麵,這種拉麵稱作為「雞白醬系拉麵」,無論是拉麵的外觀或是味道都很棒,相當受到女性喜愛。 雞白湯拉麵(東京都 FUKU流拉麵 轍) 鶏白湯ラーメン(東京都 ふく流らーめん 轍)   雞白湯拉麵(東京都 蔭山) 鶏白湯ラーメン(東京都 蔭山) 雞白湯本身即是一種從以前就存在的中華料理,因此並不是特別少見的湯頭。說到中華料理的雞白湯,我很喜歡台灣台北市一間叫做「驥園川菜餐廳」裡,有一道風味濃厚的湯品「砂鍋土雞」,而日本雞白湯拉麵的湯頭就類似那樣的味道。 而在日本拉麵界裡,雞白湯拉麵大概是在2005年以後才開始變得熱門,因此,比起前述4個不同種類的拉麵,雞白湯拉麵算是一種很新的風味。 很適合與雞白湯拉麵一同品嚐的配料是雞肉叉燒。另外,因為雞白湯拉麵的湯頭偏屬清淡,因此有些店家也會提供柚子胡椒給客人作為調味。 因為雞白湯拉麵成為主流類型拉麵的時間並不長,所以似乎幾乎沒有可以稱得上「在地拉麵」的雞白湯拉麵,目前各間店舖或是系列分店正處於分庭抗禮的狀態。 雞白湯拉麵(東京都 雞拉麵 KAGURA屋) 鶏白湯ラーメン(東京都 鶏そば かぐら屋)   2-6、沾麵 沾麵是一種先將麵條川燙後,過冷水以保持麵條彈性,再將麵條與濃厚醬汁分別盛裝,一邊夾取麵條,一邊沾取醬汁來品嚐的一種拉麵。也有人稱呼這種拉麵為「蕎麥冷麵」、「蕎麥沾麵」。 沾麵(東京都 TSUJI田) つけ麺(東京都 つじ田) 此外,也有麵條以溫熱狀態提供的沾麵,就稱作為「熱蕎麥麵」(ATSUMORI熱盛),是在冬季時也很常會食用的一種沾麵。 據說沾麵是在1955年由東京都的「大勝軒」所開發、販賣的餐點。而在2000年時埼玉縣川越市的一間拉麵店「頑者」運用了魚粉、極粗麵、濃厚魚貝類湯頭,打造了全新風格的沾麵,並讓沾麵在日本全國捲起了一陣風潮。 也因為這個原因,沾麵的沾醬(湯頭)較多是使用濃厚魚貝湯頭,不過也是有味噌或是辣味噌等不同風味。 販賣沾麵的店家,通常都可以在麵條吃完後提供加入沾醬的熱湯,這個服務叫做「湯割」(SŪPU WARI)。 因為沾麵的沾醬會比一般拉麵湯頭來得濃郁,所以店家會提供以魚貝、豚骨或是雞骨等,自家配方熬製的熱湯來中和沾醬的濃度,讓客人也能夠同時品嘗到湯汁的美味。 不過這個服務必須要客人自己向店家提出「請給我湯割」,店家才會提供喔。 沾麵(東京都 俺之空) つけ麺(東京都 俺の空) 有許多沾麵專門店不分「並盛」(普通份量)、「中盛」(中份)、「大盛」(大份),不同份量皆以同一種價格提供。 沾麵常見的配料為豬肉叉燒、雞肉叉燒、溏心蛋等。而沾麵使用的麵碗通常比一般的拉麵碗還要小,如果點太多配料的話,配料會堆積在麵條上方而使麵條難以夾取、沾取沾醬,所以有一些店家也會將配料另外使用其他碗盤來盛裝。 由於沾麵流行熱潮的歷史較短,所以也比較少具代表性的「在地沾麵」。目前在日本各地都有不同風格及風味的沾麵正在相互切磋、競爭當中。 沾麵(東京都 鹽味沾麵 燈花) つけ麺(東京都 塩つけ麺 灯花 )   2-7、油拌麵 油拌麵的吃法很特別,會在碗裡先放入以麻油、醬油為基底的醬汁,再放入麵條之後,最後淋上辣油、醋等調味料,拌著麵一起吃。除了辣油、醋以外,有些店家也會淋上美乃滋。 油拌麵是一種類似中國大陸的「拌麵」料理。不過,日本風格的油拌麵比起中國大陸的拌麵,配料跟麵條的量是比較多的。 油拌麵(東京都 東京麵珍亭本舖) 油そば(東京都 東京麺珍亭本舗) 一般據信油拌麵的發源是源自1950年代的東京都多摩地區,因為油拌麵的價格便宜,份量又多,因此受到位於多摩地區的一橋大橋、亞細亞大學等學生的喜愛,並藉此將油拌麵這種拉麵種類傳散到日本各地。 而油拌麵一般常見的配料是小蔥蔥花及半熟蛋。有些店家也會佐以筍乾、蘿蔔嬰等食材。 油拌麵(東京都 油拌麵專門店GACHI) 油そば(東京都 油そば専門店GACHI) 說到油拌麵的「在地拌麵」,就一定會想到愛知縣的台灣拌麵。2008年時位於名古屋市的「麵屋HANABI」開發了台灣拌麵這款拉麵,概念是從台灣的麵料理「擔仔麵」所衍生的台灣拉麵無湯汁版。但是聽過許多台灣人的說明,「台灣拉麵」跟「台灣拌麵」這兩種麵料理,與真正的台灣「擔仔麵」是完全不一樣的東西。   繼續第三篇

日本旅行的拉麵攻略①

日本旅行的拉麵攻略①   目錄 1、前言 2、拉麵的種類 2-1、醬油拉麵 2-2、鹽味拉麵 2-3、味噌拉麵 2-4、豚骨拉麵 2-5、雞白湯拉麵 2-6、沾麵 2-7、油拌麵 3、配料的種類 4、拉麵的點餐方式 5、拉麵消費金額最高的城市排行與前段班城市的在地拉麵介紹   1、前言 對於到日本旅遊的外國人來說,拉麵是一道受到許多人歡迎的料理。根據日本觀光廳發表的訪日外國人消費動向調查(2019年)指出,最讓人滿意的餐飲第1名是肉料理(26.7%),第2名即是拉麵(19.3%),由此可見拉麵的確獲得大家的喜愛。順帶一提,第3名是壽司(15.6%),第4名則是魚料理(12.6%)。 就如同大家所知道的,拉麵的根源來自於中國大陸的麵料理。至今仍有一些拉麵老店會使用「中華拉麵」等稱呼。 相傳是在江戶時代末期開港之後(1854年下田及函館開港),中國大陸的麵料理傳進日本。而後,由各店家運用創意巧思,再加上日本獨有的料理方式,演變成許多不同種類變化的拉麵。 身為一名一年大約會吃掉100碗拉麵的拉麵愛好者,希望大家來到日本旅行的時候可以更盡情、更美味地享受拉麵,所以想要以各種不同的觀點向大家介紹拉麵。 特別是在後面第4點會提到的「拉麵的點餐方式」,對於看不懂日文的外國旅客來說應該會是很實用的方法。因為從日本最大美食介紹網站TABELOG的資料看來,我發現有英文菜單的拉麵店只佔日本全部拉麵店的0.9%而已。 另外,在本篇最後的「拉麵消費金額最高的城市排行與前段班城市的在地拉麵」,將會為大家介紹拉麵意外很受歡迎的城市。在這些喜愛拉麵的城市裡,據說似乎有很多特別好吃又別具特色的在地拉麵喔。 2、拉麵的種類 拉麵大致上可以分為醬油拉麵、鹽味拉麵、味噌拉麵、豚骨拉麵、雞白湯拉麵、沾麵、油拌麵等種類,近幾年來還出現了小魚乾熬製拉麵、飛魚高湯拉麵、魚貝豚骨拉麵、豚骨醬油拉麵等較新的類型。本文將會為大家詳細介紹7種具代表性的拉麵風味。 2-1、醬油拉麵 關於醬油拉麵的起源,是在1910年時位於淺草的「來來軒」開始提供,讓醬油拉麵開始出現在大眾面前。醬油拉麵與鹽味拉麵皆是日本拉麵風味中擁有最長久歷史的兩種拉麵。醬油拉麵的湯頭是以雞骨或是各種不同的材料熬製,並加入濃口醬油來呈現其美味。 醬油拉麵與胡椒、黑胡椒的味道相當契合,也可以在醬油拉麵裡面加入醋來提升酸味,因此一碗醬油拉麵就能夠品嘗到多種風味變化。我個人是很喜歡在醬油拉麵中加入醋的這種吃法,但是每個人的口味都不盡相同,所以建議大家在一開始時先少量加入醋,以便確認是不是自己喜歡的味道。 醬油拉麵(山形縣 中華麵店 琴平莊) 醤油ラーメン(山形県 中華そば処 琴平荘) 醬油拉麵(北海道 MARUHIRA拉麵) 醤油ラーメン(北海道 ラーメン まるひら) 醬油拉麵(東京都 大至拉麵) 醤油ラーメン(東京都 ラーメン大至) 此外,醬油拉麵在配料方面與豬肉叉燒、溏心蛋、筍乾相當搭配;蔬菜的話建議可以添加蔥花或是燙菠菜。 而關於「在地拉麵」,旭川拉麵(北海道)、喜多方拉麵(福島縣)、白河拉麵(福島縣)、SUTAMINA拉麵(茨城縣)、佐野拉麵(櫪木縣)、八王子拉麵(東京都)等,都是屬於醬油拉麵的類型。 醬油拉麵(北海道 旭川拉麵青葉本店) 醤油ラーメン(北海道 旭川らぅめん青葉 本店) 前面提到的小魚乾熬製拉麵、飛魚高湯拉麵、豚骨醬油拉麵等,也是從醬油拉麵衍生而出的類別。一般來說,醬油拉麵的湯頭屬於比較清爽的口感,而家系拉麵(神奈川)等豚骨醬油拉麵、燕三條背脂拉麵(新潟縣)等,則屬於口感比較濃厚的湯頭。 小魚乾熬製拉麵 (東京都 FUKU流拉麵 轍) 煮干しラーメン(東京都 ふく流らーめん 轍)   2-2、鹽味拉麵 鹽味拉麵與醬油拉麵一樣,都是擁有久遠歷史的拉麵,據說鹽味拉麵的發祥是源自於1884年函館「養和軒」販售的南京拉麵。鹽味拉麵的湯頭是以雞骨等各種不同食材熬煮,再加入鹽味高湯來呈現其風味,清澈透明的湯頭顏色即是鹽味拉麵的特徵。 鹽味拉麵(東京都 麵屋宗) 塩ラーメン(東京都 麺屋宗) 鹽味拉麵跟將醬油拉麵比起來,較少與魚貝類或是豚骨相互做提味,所以與其他類型拉麵比較起來,提供鹽味拉麵的店家相對比較少。但是其清爽的口味對於年長的人來說不易造成腸胃不適,也是一種非常美味的拉麵。 知名的「在地拉麵」有函館拉麵(北海道),不過其他地區就少有以鹽味拉麵聞名的「在地拉麵」了。另外,加入大量高麗菜、豆芽等蔬菜的湯麵也是從日本開始發展的,這種湯麵即是鹽味拉麵衍生而出的一種拉麵類別。 關於鹽味拉麵的配料以雞肉叉燒、筍乾、炒青菜等最為搭配,與通常會使用豬肉做為配料的其他拉麵不同,在風味上與雞肉叉燒較為契合這點就是鹽味拉麵的特色之一。 鹽味拉麵(北海道 麵廚房繡球花) 塩ラーメン(北海道 麺厨房あじさい) 湯麵(東京都 中華料理 秀永) タンメン(東京都 中華料理 秀永)   2-3、味噌拉麵 味噌拉麵與擁有悠久歷史的醬油拉麵、鹽味拉麵不同的是,它是近年才開發出來的風味,起源於1955年時,北海道札幌市的一間小吃店「味之三平」開發了味噌拉麵,也因此味噌拉麵有時候會被稱作為「北海道味噌拉麵」。這是一種以日本調味料搭配中華拉麵而生、和漢合璧的拉麵種類。 味噌拉麵與豬肉叉燒、溏心蛋、筍乾、大蒜相當搭配,跟高麗菜、豆芽菜等炒青菜也很合,會加上玉米、奶油等北海道農特產的配料也是其特色之一。此外,不僅是胡椒,與辣油、唐辛子等調味料也很契合。 味噌拉麵(北海道 札幌純連) 味噌ラーメン(北海道 さっぽろ純連) 味噌拉麵(北海道 麵屋雪風) 味噌ラーメン(北海道 麺屋雪風) 而關於有名的「當地拉麵」,則有發源地的札幌拉麵,以及味噌咖哩牛乳拉麵(青森縣)、赤湯拉麵(山形縣)。其中,赤湯拉麵是一種在味噌拉麵中加入辣味噌而衍生出來的風味,稱為紅味噌拉麵。 雖然味噌拉麵是一年中各個季節都能夠品嚐的拉麵, 但是因為其發源地札幌是一個寒冷的地區,所以也讓人產生一種在寒冷時會特別想吃味噌拉麵的印象。不過據說味噌的確有提高代謝、使身體感到溫暖的作用。 味噌咖哩牛乳拉麵(青森縣 味之札幌 大西) 味噌カレー牛乳ラーメン(青森県 味の札幌 大西)     繼續第二篇

Delicious season for 300 seafood in Japan

Delicious season for 300 seafood in Japan   1. Introduction We want foreign visitors to eat a variety of Japanese seafood at the best time of year and in the best places. With this in mind, we have created a seasonal calendar of approximately 300 different types of seafood, prefecture by prefecture. This list is based on the PRIDE FISH website, selected by the Japan Fisheries Co-operative. PRIDE FISH is a list of “really tasty fish selected by fishermen”. Therefore, by referring to this list, you should be able to eat the most delicious seafood. Many Japanese people do not know the details of the season for Japanese seafood. And for foreigners, it can be even more difficult to understand. We hope that this list will be of some help to foreign visitors when they visit and dine in various parts of Japan. Only the English version of Hokkaido is shown here as an example. For more information, see the English and Traditional Chinese versions.   2.

Summary of July itinerary in Japan (Hokkaido)

Summary of July itinerary in Japan (Hokkaido) From Saturday, July 2 to Monday, July 4, I traveled to Hokkaido (Kushiro and Akkeshi). On this trip, I was able to eat more seasonal seafood and local cuisine than on any previous trip. I was also able to enjoy the great national parks at Lake Akan and the Kushiro Marshland, as well as the wonderful flora and fauna, including nationally protected species like the marimo and the Japanese (tancho) crane. Even in early July, when it was extremely hot in Japan, the temperatures in Kushiro and Akkeshi were 5 to 10°C cooler than in Honshu, making it the perfect summer vacation.

Ramen Maruhira On the last day of my trip, I had Shoyu (soy sauce) ramen for breakfast at Kushiro’s most popular ramen restaurant, Ramen Maruhira. Ramen Maruhira has been in business since 1959. It is located in a residential area outside of downtown Kushiro Station, Suehiro-cho, and Kushiro Fisherman’s Wharf MOO. It is open from 9:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is a restaurant for breakfast and lunch. I took a cab to Ramen Maruhira, and when I arrived at 9:25 a.m., the restaurant was already open and there were four customers. It seemed to open a little earlier than 9:30. Ramen Maruhira offers only shoyu ramen and shio ramen. However, there are three sizes available: regular, large, and extra-large. The prices are Yen 700, Yen 800, and Yen 900, respectively. There is no beer or other alcoholic beverages, probably because the restaurant is not open at night. I ordered the regular shoyu ramen. Some of the regular customers ordered shio ramen.

It is an alternative to a waiting bar before lunch. “Oysters from Akkeshi” (season: May-August, December-February) are Hokkaido’s summer “PRIDE FISH” as selected by Japan Fisheries Co-operative. The year-round low sea water temperature in Akkeshi makes it possible to ship oysters year-round. There is an island called Oyster Island (officially Benten Island) in Lake Akkeshi where oysters are cultivated. “Oysters from Akkeshi” are actually delicious from fall to winter when the meat becomes plump and tasty, but since Akkeshi is the only area where oysters can be eaten in summer, it is chosen as the “PRIDE FISH” of summer. The whisky produced at the Akkeshi Distillery is also a specialty of Akkeshi. Akkeshi Distillery started distilling whisky in October 2016 with a strong desire to “make whisky like Islay malt using traditional Scottish methods.

Local cuisine Nabekyu Our first meal on this trip to Hokkaido was at NabeKyu, a local restaurant in Lake Akan. I entered the restaurant just before 11:20 a.m., but it was already more than half full. It is a very popular restaurant. My main goal at “Nabekyu” was sashimi of Lake Akan’s specialty, Hime-masu (kokanee), which is only available from May to July. However, in 2022, the Hime-masu fishing season ended a few weeks in May, and no sashimi was offered. It was a pity because I visited Lake Akan with the top priority of Hime-masu sashimi. However, grilled Hime-masu was on the menu, so I ordered it. The grilled salted Hime-masu had a very elegant taste and was very easy to eat. As I wrote in my BLOG on July 24th, Hime-masu is a landlocked form of Sockeye Salmon. In the Ainu language, it is called kapacep. It is native to Lake Akan and Lake Chimikeppu (Abashiri County, Hokkaido). Since I was unable to try the sashimi of Hime-masu, I orderedread moreJuly itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Hokkaido Meal edition)

I ordered “mori soba” (Yen 840), “rice with raw egg” (Yen 320), “dish simmered in regional chicken liver” (Yen 430), and “dish simmered venison with ginger” (Yen 430) at “Restaurant Kitamura“. “Mori soba” is most popular buckwheat noodle at “Restaurant Kitamura”. It is made from buckwheat flour harvested in Miyama and ground on a millstone. The soba noodles are handmade in the restaurant every day. Despite being handmade soba, the noodles were very thin and made me feel that they were well worked. The amount of Soba was a little small, but it was a very tasty “mori soba”. The “rice with raw egg” was made with freshly caught local eggs, and the rich yolk of the egg was delicious and irresistible. The chicken and venison used in the “dish simmered in regional chicken liver” and “dish simmered venison with ginger” were also caught in Miyama. The meat is locally produced,read moreJune itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Kyoto, Aichi Meal edition)

June itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Kyoto Meal edition) (Thursday, June 9)   Table of contents 1. Soba Restaurant Aoi 2. Seppourai Kyoto Station Building Store   1. Soba Restaurant Aoi For my first lunch in Kyoto, I had hamo (conger pike) somen (Yen 1,380 ) at “Soba Restaurant Aoi” located in the Kintetsu Mall Miyakomimichi in Kyoto Station. I chose the somen despite the fact that it is a soba noodle restaurant because it has Hamo no Yubiki (parboiled conger pike) on top of the somen. Hamo (conger pike) cuisine is famous for Kyoto in summer. It has been selected as one of the “Our Regional Cuisines” by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan as “grilled hamo”. Although grilled hamo has been selected as one of “Our Regional Cuisines”, I definitely Hamo no Yubiki (parboiled conger pike) as my favorite hamo dish. I think the contrast between the white parboiled hamo and the red plum sauce is a great contrast and looks very nice. There are not many white and red dishes other than parboiled hamo, which is why it makes parboiled hamo stand out against other dishes. The hamo no somen was also a veryread moreJune itinerary in Japan Day 2 (Kyoto Meal edition)

June itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Osaka Meal edition) (Wednesday, June 8)   Table of contents 1. Soraben 2. Okonomiyaki “Abeton” 3. Sushi “Abaraya”   1. Soraben For breakfast on June 8, I had a “Soraben (Sky bento)” at Haneda Airport. This trip to Osaka/Kyoto has nothing to do with Fukuoka Prefecture, but I bought a “Yamaya Mentai Saizen” (Yen 1,350) from Fukuoka Prefecture. The “Yamaya Mentai Saizen” is one of the more expensive “Soraben” sold at Haneda Airport. However, when I opened the lid of the bento, I found that the coloring was very plain. I was disappointed after opening the lid, because I think coloring is very important for both “Ekiben” and “Soraben”. The taste was good, but it was not good enough to make up for the very plain coloring. Considering the price, I felt that it was a very overpriced “Soraben”. I knew I shouldn’t have bought a Fukuoka bento at Haneda Airport.   2. Okonomiyaki “Abeton” After sightseeing at Shitennoji Temple, I had okonomiyaki at “Abeton“, which is located a little more than 5 minutes away on foot. “Abeton” is located in an underground shopping mall called “Abechika”. It is located on the Shitennoji Templeread moreJune itinerary in Japan Day 1 (Osaka Meal edition)

Summary of May itinerary in Japan (Kumamoto trip)

Summary of May itinerary in Japan (Kumamoto trip) I travelled to Kumamoto Prefecture (partly Fukuoka Prefecture) from Tuesday, 17 May to Thursday, 19 May. On this trip I was able to eat a lot of seasonal seafood and local cuisine and visit wonderful tourist attractions such as World Heritage Sites, national treasures and national important cultural properties. As my main objective was to eat local cuisine, I was able to eat more local dishes than I have on previous trips. I would strongly recommend this May Japan itinerary to everyone.

Amakusa Champon Chiran I had brunch at Amakusa Champon Chiran near Misumi Station on 19 May. Amakusa Champon is one of Japan’s “Three Great Champons”, along with Nagasaki Champon and Obama Champon. I am ashamed to say that I only knew Nagasaki chanpon. Obama Champon was developed in Obama Onsen (Obama-cho, Unzen City) in Nagasaki Prefecture. If we look up “Three Great Champons”, Tobata chanpon (Tobata Ward, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture) may be mentioned instead of Obama chanpon. Amakusa Champon is said to have started as an adaptation of Nagasaki chanpon techniques with the addition of Amakusa ingredients. Chiran was opened two years ago by the owner and his wife, who had been in business for many years in Nara Prefecture. Misumi is near owner’s wife home town, Amakusa. This ramen shop was very popular in Nara Prefecture and won the Grand Prix in the variety category of the ramen magazine “Ultimate Ramen 2020”. According to the owner, regular customers of Chiran in Nara sometimes come to Misumi Town, Ukiread moreMay itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Kumamoto Meal edition)

Hitoyoshi Ryokan Breakfast on May 18th was served at the accommodation “Hitoyoshi Ryokan“. I love breakfast at hot spring inns. Even though it’s breakfast, it’s great to be able to eat many kinds of side dishes. Also, the color of the small bowl containing many kinds of side dishes is beautiful. The breakfast at Hitoyoshi Ryokan was one of the best breakfasts I have ever had at a hot spring inn. I ate dried sweetfish for the first time. The Kuma River, which runs beside Hitoyoshi Ryokan, is famous for catching delicious sweetfish. The opening date for sweetfish fishing is June 1, so it’s a pity that I could only eat dried sweetfish this time. Next time, I wanted to revisit Hitoyoshi during the sweetfish fishing season. When I left the breakfast venue of “Hitoyoshi Ryokan”, beautiful flowers were laid. I was happy with the fresh flowers that matched the atmosphere of “Hitoyoshi Ryokan”. “Hitoyoshi Ryokan” is a wonderful ryokan, and the services of the landlady and female employees were also pleasant.

Uemura Unagiya (Eel restaurant) The first meal of this trip to Kumamoto was at “Uemura Unagiya“. “Uemura Unagiya” is a long-established eel restaurant that was founded in 1908 and has a history of more than 100 years. It has also been selected as one of the “100 famous tabelog restaurants”. It is the only “100 famous tabelog restaurants” in Hitoyoshi City. The restaurant opens at 10 am and the opening time is very early. I entered the restaurant at 11:00 am, but there were already several pairs of customers sitting in their seats. I ordered “Uzaku (vinegared eel and cucumber)” (Yen 800), “Eel Liver” (Yen 1,000), and “small Unaju (broiled eel served over rice in a lacquered box)” (Yen 3,200) at “Uemura Unagiya”. The taste of “Uzaku” was above average, but the “liver of eel” and “shige of eel” were excellent. As you can see in the picture, the volume of “eel liver” was as large as 20 eels.

Sushi Ino After finishing sightseeing in Matsuyama in the morning of April 21, I had lunch at the reserved “Sushi Ino“. I ordered the “Lunch Course” (Yen 8,800 including tax) at “Sushi Ino”. Considering the grade of sushi, I think it is a very valuable course. For Nigirizushi (sushi shaped by hand), I had flatfish, striped beakfish, halfbeak, bigfin reef squid, horse mackerel, tilefish, lean tuna pickled in soy sauce , dotted gizzard shad, Japanese tiger prawn, and conger eel. “Sushi Ino” is a sushi restaurant that I visited in 2020 and was very impressed. This time too, everything was excellent and I had a blissful time. “Sushi Ino” is a well-known restaurant that has been awarded one Michelin star. It is also one of the 100 famous tabelog restaurants.   2. OKAIDO BREWERY After enjoying delicious sushi at “Sushi Ino”, I drank craft beer at “OKAIDO BREWERY”.

For breakfast, I had a rice bowl topped with grilled natural eel at “Sakoya”, which is a short distance across the Sada Chinka-bashi Bridge (Imanari Bridge). When I made a request to “eat the natural eel of the Shimanto River”, I was told “Sakoya” by the Shimanto City Tourism Association at Nakamura Station. “Sakoya” is open from 7:00 to 14:00, so we can have a a rice bowl topped with grilled natural eel as breakfast. Locals were eating breakfast such as ham and eggs at “Sakoya”. “Sakoya” goes to the Shimanto River every morning to catch natural eels, and if they cannot catch natural eels, they will provide farmed eels.

They have so many seafood and food of the mountains that are unique to Kochi that we can’t imagine them in the market. I ate “Noresore”, “Dorome (raw whitebait)”, “Crab innards”, “Whale sinewy meat”, “Grilled mackerel sushi” and drank a sake “Senchu Hassaku”. “Noresore” is a fry of conger eel (juvenile conger) and is a marine delicacy in Kochi prefecture. “Noresore” has a white and transparent body, and is also called a water fairy because of its mysterious appearance.

Japanese food menu in English / Traditional Chinese with photos

Japanese food menu in English / Traditional Chinese with photos Translated Japanese food menu into English / Traditional Chinese menu. Not only sushi and ramen, but also yakiniku, yakitori, and local dishes, the total menu is about 800. I also posted as many food photos as possible. Only 2.1% of all restaurants and cafeterias in Japan have English menus (Source: Tabelog, 17,342 out of 821,508, as of the end of February 2022). With this, foreign tourists can only eat at restaurants for a small number of tourists restaurants which have English menus even if they come to Japan. We hope that this translation of the English / Traditional Chinese menu will allow foreigners who cannot read Japanese at all to order Japanese food at restaurants and cafeterias that have only Japanese menus. We created it to assist in ordering at restaurants and cafeterias that have only Japanese menus, so we dared to put Japanese first in the order of languages. We would like to make the menu better, so we are looking forward to your advice.
