I really like the ramen here. It has a unique flavor that may not appeal to those who prefer the standard soy sauce ramen in Asahikawa. The originality of this place is what makes it special. It has been relocated for many years now. It used to be a night shop called "sanroku." I never tried it when it was there, but I have been coming here occasionally since it moved. The menu has small font size, but the pictures are clear. The ramen options include soy sauce, pork bone fish sauce soy sauce, salt, miso, and spicy miso. They also have a ramen with chili oil. I think the chili oil ramen is the way to go here. The price is the same whether you add chili oil or not. The noodles are a blend of Haruyutaka and Yumechikara whole grain flour. I used to always order the chashu ramen when I started exploring ramen in my early 20s. If they didn't have it, I would add chashu as a topping. I also used to add butter or corn as toppings. But nowadays, I rarely add toppings. I always add seasoned egg, though. Butter is a bit expensive here, but honestly, the ramen here doesn't really need butter. The lunch menu is a good deal, with options like gyoza, small rice, and char-mayo rice bowl half-size combinations. It's a great addition to your favorite ramen. The special anniversary tsukemen looks really tempting. I want to try it someday. The regular chili oil ramen is also very appealing. It's a tough decision. I ordered the miso chili oil ramen with a side of rice, gyoza, and char-mayo rice bowl half-size set. It was a difficult decision, but I went with this option this time. I'll try the tsukemen next time. The menu is overwhelming. Nyanku has been around for about 10 years now. They have a special anniversary tsukemen that I want to try. The toppings include menma, wood ear mushrooms, green onions, and seasoned egg. The seasoned egg is free if you follow them on Instagram or Twitter. It's a never-ending loop, I guess? The chashu slices are quite large and tender. They are delicious. I bet the char-mayo rice bowl with this chashu would be amazing. Let's start with the soup. I usually go for soy sauce ramen here, but this time I tried the miso ramen. The soup is rich and has a pork bone punch, with a hint of miso flavor. The addition of chili oil enhances the taste. It's quite different from the usual miso flavor, but if you like rich and flavorful soup, you'll love it. The noodles are thin, which complements the rich soup well. It gives a similar feeling to eating tsukemen, even though it's not. The rice with the soup? Does it go well? Surprisingly, it does. The miso flavor doesn't overpower, and the sweetness of the rice adds a nice touch. The appearance of the fried dumplings is really appealing. The sear marks are beautiful, but I wish there was more juice inside the dumplings. Overall, the soup may be a hit or miss depending on personal preference, but if you enjoy a unique and rich flavor, this place is worth visiting in Asahikawa, where there are many ramen shops.
