Muroran Curry Ramen

Muroran curry ramen is a Japanese curry-flavored noodle dish originating from Muroran. The dish was invented in 1965 at the Aji No Daiō restaurant. There are about 30 ramen restaurants that serve this curry ramen in Muroran, but Aji No Daiō is still the most popular and well-known. The dish contains sliced roasted pork, green onions, cabbage, fried bean sprouts, dried seaweed, and thick and curly noodles made from Hokkaido flour, as well as the tangy and rich curry-flavored broth. And even though Muroran curry ramen is more than 50 years old, it gained massive popularity when both the restaurant and the curry ramen were endorsed by Natsumi Abe, a singer in the band Morning Musume.
