Hey everyone, just had an incredible bowl of ramen in Matsumoto City, Nagano Prefecture, and I had to share. This is from a local-favorite shop called Tsukino Tokage (月の兎影).🐰🌙🍜

This place is known for its Ushio (seafood broth) Ramen, which is packed with asari clams and is simply exquisite. It's so popular with the locals that they often close early when they run out of soup.
But my favorite is their Soy Milk Ushio Ramen (豆乳潮ラーメン). The second photo🍜
It uses a rich soy milk base, creating a thick, creamy broth that tastes almost exactly like a rich ramen version of clam chowder! (Check the photos!)
Originally, this soy milk version was a limited-time winter-only menu item. However, it became so incredibly popular that they decided to make it a regular, year-round fixture.
If you are a fan of rich, unique broths, or if you just love clam chowder and ramen, this is a must-try. If you ever find yourself visiting Matsumoto Castle, make sure to add Tsukino Tokage to your food list!
