onuma koen special dish: super jumbo yaki-soba. 3,000 yen. shared amongst 5 people, 600 yen each. cheap, filling and *omg, its so damned ****** enormous* experience.
strangely, it tasted more like sen mian/the chinese fried noodles with the sticky brown sauce poured on top of it, rather than yakisoba. but at the same time, it tasted very japanese. the sauce was kinda sweet and tasted very unique.
ajisen ramen, hakodate kane mori/redbrick warehouse. just beside hotel la vista. 750 yen. no idea if its related to the ajisen ramen chain we have here. light, filling and very very good shio ramen. not overly salty. really nice deco and atmosphere at the place. stock is excellent. light, almost like what you'd expect out of wanton soup, without being overly salty. could have had more char siew though. waited about 20 minutes to eat.
