Tsuruga Ramen
In front of the station at night, the sound of the charumera (ramen advertising flute) echoes. In a steaming bowl, with a broth of pork bone and chicken—Tsuruga Ramen is a local specialty born from street food stalls. The beginning is said to date back to 1953 (Showa 28), when the first ramen stall appeared in Tsuruga. At that time, it was called 'Chuka Soba,' and at night, stalls would gather in front of the station, where train passengers and JNR employees would slurp their noodles. Eventually, they moved along the national highway, and it is said that a 'Ramen Highway' was formed, with as many as 15 stalls lined up at its peak. The flow of people and goods through the port town of Tsuruga nurtured this nighttime culture. Slurping the soup, where light flavor and richness coexist. It remains the taste of Tsuruga's nights, even now, where the lights of the stalls still glow.
