Santouka Hokkaido Ramen is a popular ramen chain from Japan and now it finally arrives in Harvard Square, Boston. Before Santouka became a ramen chain, it began as a single ramen ship Hokkaido in 1988. Founder Hitoshi Hatanaka was inspired to open a ramen shop after watching the Japanese movie Tampopo, a comedy about a Japanese woman opens a ramen shop. Santouka began with jsut one item on the menu - the Shio Ramen and twenty seven years later, they are all over the world.
Santouka is known for its signature Shio Ramen and the simple broth is the highlight of a meal there. the broth has a rich depth but wasn't overwhelming in its saltiness or spice level and guests love the flavors of the creamy, elegant broth with the thin noodles. Even though there are people thinks the broth is too salty, but it is a salt broth after all.
Because it's popularity, there is no surprise that there are many waiting in sanouka. The 58 seat eatery does not accept reservations. However, the shop does employ a texting system to alert customers that their table is available. guests now can shop around Harvard Square while waiting.
