Tsukemen
A dipping ramen where thick, chewy noodles are served separately from a concentrated, intensely flavorful broth for dipping.
"I’ve visited Hokkaido Ramen several times, and their Tsukemen and Kara-Miso Ramen consistently stand out as some of the best in the city. Both dishes are rich and authentic, with deep, well balanced flavours that are satisfying without being overly salty. Each bite leaves you wanting more."

Gyoza
These pan-fried dumplings are praised for their perfect texture, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.

Lychee Sake
A sweet and fruity sake, recommended for those who enjoy a sweeter alcoholic beverage.
"As for the sake, ohh man lemme tell you the Lychee flavored sake was by far my favorite, it’s one of the sweeter sakes that they have but was amazing, I should’ve got two more bottles."
