A new ramen shop, \u201cGokuraku Ramen,\u201d will open inside Takimotokan on Sunday, April 26, 2026.
\nAfter relaxing both body and mind in The Grand Bath, you can casually stop by this \u201cGokuraku Ramen\u201d.
\nWhether it\u2019s a quick bowl during the day or ramen paired with drinks at night, a new way to enjoy food in the town is about to begin.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u25a0 A Classic Taste of Hokkaido Ramen<\/p>\n
An essential element of \u201cGokuraku Ramen\u201d is the medium-thick, wavy egg noodles from Nishiyama Ramen, a long-established noodle maker representing Hokkaido.
\nThese slightly yellow, high-hydration noodles are known for their pleasantly chewy texture and their ability to tangle the soup perfectly.<\/p>\n
The broth is a carefully prepared double soup made by slowly simmering chicken bones and pork.
\nWhile it offers a clean, smooth first sip, the depth of flavor gradually unfolds with every spoonful.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a bowl that feels nostalgic, yet perfectly suited to modern tastes\u2014quintessentially Hokkaido in every way.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u25a0 \u201cGokuraku Ramen\u201d Envisioned by Manager Kamimura<\/p>\n
The shop is run by Manager Kamimura, who, after graduating from culinary school, gained experience in both cooking and service at hotels across Hokkaido.
\nIt was through these experiences that he developed a desire to \u201cexpress the charm of Hokkaido in a single bowl of ramen.\u201d<\/p>\n
He hopes to offer guests from Japan and around the world a moment that can only be experienced at Noboribetsu Onsen.
\nWith this vision in mind, he decided to open a ramen shop inside a traditional ryokan.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u25a0 A Diverse Ramen Lineup and the Bold Soupless Ramen<\/p>\n
The menu features a variety of classic Hokkaido ramen styles, including miso, soy sauce, salt, and spicy miso.
\nAmong them, the owner\u2019s top recommendation is the \u201cGokuraku Ramen,\u201d loaded with all available toppings\u2014a hearty bowl aiming to become a new local specialty of Noboribetsu Onsen.<\/p>\n
They also offer a punchy \u201csoupless ramen\u201d seasoned with garlic and chili peppers.
\nMix in the egg yolk for a rich, mellow flavor, and for an extra treat, you can add diced Noboribetsu pork chashu as an option\u2014making it an irresistibly satisfying final bowl to end your meal.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 At Night: An Izakaya Inside the Ryokan<\/p>\n
After 6:00 PM, the restaurant transforms into more than just a ramen shop, offering a wide selection of \u00e0 la carte dishes.

\u25a0 Extra Care in Every Grain of Rice<\/p>\n
