北海道のらーめん山頭火

バンクーバーの新しいラーメン店!北海道の らーめん山頭火! ^_^V http://www.santouka.co.jp

History:

ある日、創業者の畠中が、ラーメン店が舞台の映画「タンポポ」を見たあと家族で食べた、とあるラーメン店の味に落胆。家族のために「俺がラーメンを作る!」と宣言したのが「らーめん山頭火」誕生のきっかけでした。

家族に絶賛されたそのラーメンで、旭川にラーメン店をオープンさせたのは1988年3月。座席はたった9席。メニューは塩だけ、他店と比べ値段も高いことから、店は全く流行りませんでした。困り果てて友人をかき集め、とにかく席を埋めてもらう状況が続きましたが、そうすると少しずつ、本物のお客様がやってくるようになったのです。

「奇妙な名前でいつも満席のラーメン屋」へ

その後、テレビや雑誌に「奇妙な名前でいつも席が埋まっているラーメン屋」としてたびたび登場。折からの種田山頭火ブームもあり、マスコミに取り上げられるようになると、あっという間に火が付きました。小ぶりの玉丼に入った細麺の上には、とろけるようなチャーシューと小梅のトッピング。それに加えてすっきりと底まで飲める上品なスープは、道産子にとっても初めての味だったのです。

山頭火名物の「とろ肉」チャーシューが誕生したのもこの頃。お腹を空かせた学生に、豚の頬肉を使用したやわらかいチャーシューを食べてもらいたいとう想いで作りました。
「わかりやすくて飽きないラーメン」が基本

創業当時、畠中仁が基本にすえていたのは、スープが最後まで飲める、チャーシューは肉の味がするなど「わかりやすく、誰にでも末永く食べ続けてもらえるラーメン」でした。それはすなわち、普通にある上質な素材を丁寧に手をかけ、何十年でも飽きずに食べてもらえるラーメンのことです。国内・そして海外に多くの店舗を展開する今日に至っても、その基本は変わることがありません。

I went there today with Saika and Drew after I finished viewing another 1 bedroom unit at the Cube.

I ate this one today, miso ramen and ikura gohan, but I couldn’t finish my rice or ramen because [...]

ANA株格下げ

Not funny anymore… ANA has been downgraded again. Goldman Sachs Group Inc. cut its stock recommendation to “sell.” Pressures from the unified JAL-JAS alliance will put extreme price pressure on ANA operating profit with the already bad travel industry in Japan due to the recession.

Things will only become worse for [...]

なぜ僕の前の仕事を犠牲に…

これは多くの理由の一つです。これは僕とダーリンのより良い生活をされていません。
悪天候、不行儀、悪い衛生、人種差別主義、不健全な生活。。。
僕は、寛容と理解を願っています。

Look at these photos of the sandstorm in China. Ridiculous and unbelievable, more and more in the future, the environment for China will become worse and worse… I am glad I live in Vancouver, B.C. One of the best cities in the world to live.

Can you imagine what me and darling’s life would be like now [...]
