■What is Tsugaru ramen
Tsugaru ramen is a local ramen based on niboshi or yakiboshi, which has been popular since ancient times in the Tsugaru region of Aomori prefecture. Niboshi is classified as the “royal” type, which has a light soy sauce flavor with a faint aroma, and the “rich niboshi type,” which brings the flavor of niboshi to the foreground, but our products strongly enhance the flavor, depth, and aroma of dried sardines based on the image of “rich niboshi.”
■Product Overview
Now, use the rich flavor of dried sardines and dried sardines oil to improve the “feeling of dried sardines.” It has been renewed so that you can strongly feel the aroma and taste of dried sardines. Also, the package design emphasizes the uniqueness of Aomori Prefecture by making the Nebuta illustration stand out, and the size of the letters has been changed to make it easier to convey that it is “niboshi ramen.”
