Marutamagoya Russian Cafe 📍 Motomachi Hakodate Hokkaido まるたま小屋 ロシア料理店 ☎ +81138763749
When Japan opened to foreign trade in 1859 (after over 220 years of self isolation policy), only three ports were accessible to traders - Nagasaki in the south, Yokohama in central Japan, and Hakodate in the north.
Many Chinese, Russians, Americans, and Europeans set up businesses in Hakodate. Foreign traders left their marks which are still visible and felt today.
History of Johor • Primer for Foodies
The history of a country or place is usually told in its buildings, monuments, durable artefacts, documents, legends, stories of its key personalities, etc. In this article, I try to tell the history of Johor with food as the protagonist in the Johor story. I believe that the stories behind dishes add flavour to its taste and our enjoyment.

Ben suggested Japanese curry when we arrived in Sapporo, Hokkaido - my first reaction was it was alright though I wasn't overly eager.
Super Rich Chicken Soup Ramen • Menya Tori no Keiji Kyoto Shijo Kawaramachi 麺や鳥の鶏次 KYOTO 四条河原町店 ☎ +81757085620
Trying to recommend ramen in Japan is like recommending chicken rice places in Singapore - bad ones are harder to find than good ones.
There are so, so many good ramen places everywhere in Japan, I hesitate to write up and recommend any but this one in Kyoto I really like and would go back again.
But, I have to forewarn you that it is not for everyone as it is very rich and on the sweet savoury side.
It's the feel and flavour profile I like for ramen.
