　How to Make Delicious Jaga Ramen

ごしょいも屋オープン！

　On the 4th of October a noodle bar, Goshyoimoya, opened in Rusutsu. Specializing in Jaga ramen, which can only be tried here in Rusutsu, the place reflects the traditional Hokkaido cooking philosophy. Namely that food must be made from the freshest ingredients, nutritious, and on top of everything else must be warming, to fight Hokkaido weather.

　The name may have a difficult sound to a foreign ear, but it has an interesting meaning in itself. “Goshyoimo” is an old Hokkaido word for “potatoes”. Long ago Hokkaido farmers presented potatoes to the emperor in big wooden boxes. (Japanese still use them to measure rice and beans, and smaller ones are used for drinking sake on special occasions like New Year.) Each box contained five 6-liter measures called “shyo” (five is pronounced “go” in Japanese.) At that time potatoes were considered just another type of yam (“imo” in Japanese) so they were called Goshyoimo, or “Yams from 5 shyo boxes”. Goshyoimoya was born by adding the character ya (shop) to the word.。
