Ofunato Sanma Ramen
As you lean your face toward the bowl, the fragrant aroma of saury rises gently. With a single sip, the powerful umami typical of blue-backed fish melts softly into the soup. This is a bowl where the rich aftertaste of fatty saury lingers on your tongue until the very last drop. Born in Ofunato, which boasts one of the leading saury landings in Honshu, this local ramen is fascinating because every shop offers a completely different taste and style. Some shops make broth from scratch, some create surimi dumplings, and others infuse it with homemade saury oil—each bowl emerges uniquely from the same ingredient. Smooth noodles paired with a clear, soy-sauce-infused soup. When you flake the topped saury and mix it in, the umami becomes even more intense. It is a ramen nurtured by the Sanriku Sea, perfect for enjoying the variety as you wander from shop to shop.
