Tomakomai, Hokkaido, Japan｜羅魅陀

“Weird building, super loud chef lol, and delicious miso curry ramen” This place was listed on some of “Tomakomai must go to restaurant lists for curry ramen”. I don’t eat much ramen nowadays cuz well it’s not healthy, is it? And I’m not a curry guy either. I went to try it anyway just because. Curry ramen is apparently one of the food you should try when in Tomakomai. Well this curry ramen proved I underestimated how well miso ramen and curry go together. It’s simply good. Rich but not too fatty rich. Not too miso ish more like curry ramen broth with a hint of miso. Now, I saw one of the reviews was saying the other way, so it depends on individuals I suppose. But it’s good. If you’re in doubt, try it. I liked it.

Eat Ramen

Although I live in Kyoto, I stopped by when I traveled to Hokkaido. About 20 years ago, I lived in Tomakomai for about 4 years, so I often ate this ramen. I was a little sad when I heard that Manryu in front of Tomakomai Station had closed, but I visited this restaurant that has inherited the taste. In the store, you first order and pay at the cash register. It was around 20:00 at night, and although there were only about 2 groups in the store, it felt a little slow to come out, but the taste of the noodles was the same as 20 years ago, and it was a rich miso curry. Also, when I go to Hokkaido, I definitely want to eat ramen.
