For lunch, enjoy Tsubame-Sanjo Ramen, a hearty local specialty born in a town of craftsmen. Its rich soy sauce broth is infused with dried sardines and topped generously with pork back fat, creating a bold, satisfying flavor. Originally devised to fuel busy metalworkers, the ramen is crafted to be filling, long-lasting, and deeply comforting — a true taste of Snow Country’s working culture.
