Ramen Daichi in Aomori City.

Went to Ramen Daichi in Aomori City at night. Had their Aomori Daichi Black. It was a ramen with a niboshi-based broth and rich shoyu flavor. Eating the ramen, I wanted to exclaim, “Manzu Mett!” which is a colloquial phrase particular to the Tsugaru district meaning “very tasty.”

Sapporo Ramen Kura in Aomori.

Deeply impressed with the flavor of the Miso Curry Gyunyu Ramen served at Sapporo Ramen Kura in Aomori City. Gyunyu (milk) was neutralizing the edge of miso and curry, making the soup milder and more flavorful.
