Growing up in Sapporo on Japan’s Northernmost island of Hokkaido, chef Hiratsuka learned from a tradition of cuisine that uses the finest seafood from the Northern Japan Sea, fresh locally grown vegetables, and a thicker style noodle typical of Sapporo ramen.
Yebisu’s Ramen, also known as “Nama-Men” is made with a special home-made, extremely fresh unheated moist noodle. Yebisu ferments noodles for 48 hours and serve the noodle within a day giving the noodles a superior taste and texture.
