Kosaka Katsu Ramen
Katsu Ramen, consisting of pork cutlet placed atop soy sauce ramen, is a beloved local delicacy in the mining town of Kosaka. It originated around 1970. Legend has it that it began as a late-night snack for young workers at the Kosaka Mine while they were building floats for the Tanabata Festival. While initially treated as an off-menu item, it eventually became an official dish, and the street lined with shops serving it is known as the 'Katsu Ramen Highway.' In 2023, it was officially recognized as one of the Agency for Cultural Affairs' '100 Years Food.' Today, some shops use the local brand pork, Momobuta, to create their own unique flavors. It is a hearty, voluminous bowl that has long provided stamina to the local workforce.
