Ramen consumption ranking and local specialty ramen in top cities 1. Introduction Japanese ramen is one of the most popular dishes for foreign travelers. According to the Japan Tourism Agency’s Survey of Foreign Visitor Consumption Trends in Japan (2019), meat dishes ranked first (26.7%) and ramen second (19.3%) as the most satisfying food and drink, confirming its popularity. Sushi (15.6%) and fish (12.6%) came in third and fourth, respectively. As you know, ramen has its roots in the noodle cuisine of mainland China. It is said that noodle dishes from the Chinese mainland were introduced to Japan after the opening of ports in the late Edo period (Shimoda and Hakodate in 1854). Since then, ramen has evolved in various ways, with each restaurant adding its unique Japanese arrangement to the dish. I am a ramen lover, eating about 100 ramen a year.

Nakamiso While visiting sightseeing spots, I had miso ramen at “Nakamiso” in the basement of the Nakasan Hirosaki store. The unusual store name “Nakamiso” was changed to “Nakamiso” because it was “Miso Ramen” that was born in the basement of “Nakasan Department Store”. “Nakamiso” was originally called “China Doll”. It’s interesting to change the store name to a completely different name. The reason I went to “Nakamiso” was because I found an online article saying that “Nakamiso” is a favorite local dish of Hirosaki citizens. Certainly, when I went to “Nakamiso” in the basement of the Nakasan Hirosaki store, it was crowded with many customers even after 11 o’clock. When observing the orders of local customers, there were several people who asked for two small sizes of ramen with two flavors. Also, when I looked it up after the trip, it seems that “Nakamiso won the first place in the” 1st Hirosaki Ramen Project “held from December 2020 to February 2021.” Furthermore, in May 2021, itread moreDecember itinerary in Japan Day 3 (Aomori / Akita Meal edition)
