Kushiro Ramen Ginsui
Founded in 1935, this is one of Kushiro's oldest ramen establishments. The light chicken-based soy sauce broth paired with daily hand-made thin curly noodles defines the 'Kushiro ramen' style. Listed in Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2012 and 2017. About 7 minutes walk from Kushiro Station. Only 21 seats, but beloved by Kushiro residents for nearly 90 years. May close early when soup runs out.
"The original Kushiro ramen. This light broth and thin noodle combination hasn't changed in 90 years." "It's no surprise Michelin recognized this — simple but profound." "Every time I visit Kushiro, I always stop here."
