Hokkaido Ramen Santouka

Tokusen Toroniku Ramen

Santouka's flagship — delicate shio broth topped with braised pork cheek that practically dissolves on contact, with a yielding, almost custardy texture and subtle sweetness

Shio (Salt) Ramen

The foundational bowl — a milky-white pork bone broth that reads clean and saline without heaviness, finished with thin noodles and standard chashu

Kara Miso Ramen

A solid mid-tier option — earthy and rich without the edge of the kara miso, but the shio broth is the cleaner showcase of Santouka's technique

Shoyu Ramen

Competent soy-sauce broth but the least distinctive of the lineup — serviceable for those who prefer shoyu, but this isn't where Santouka shines

Gyoza

Pan-fried dumplings, reliably executed — thin-skinned with a juicy pork filling and a crisp bottom; a reasonable add-on to round out the meal
