Sakata City in Yamagata Prefecture is a great place for ramen.
Sakata is close to Tsuruoka City, so if you’re visiting Dewa Sanzan,
it’s worth going a little further to Sakata to try the ramen.
Sakata ramen is based on a seafood dashi soup.
It combines the umami and richness of animal-based broths, such as pork bones and chicken bones,
carefully skimmed to remove impurities.
The result is a soup that’s light and clean, yet full of deep flavor and aroma.
The noodle portions are quite large, so be careful if you order a “large” size.
Wontons are often included, and they go really well with the soup.
The noodles themselves have a high water content, giving them a chewy, bouncy texture.
