[Niigata] Spring Limited! "Umashio! Asari Ramen" with Spreading Clam Umami Released! "Ramen Fuhaku" Proposes a New Combination of Clam x Pork Paitan

Kitakata Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture), which operates "Ramen Fuhaku," will launch its spring-exclusive menu item "Umashio! Asari Ramen" (tax included 980 yen) for a limited time at two stores in Niigata City, Bandai and Meike, starting April 1, 2026 (Wednesday).

This is a light, spring-like bowl of ramen featuring the umami of clams. It is characterized by the gentle flavor of clam broth that spreads from the first bite and a refreshing salty taste.

A "New Harmony" of Clam Umami and Pork Paitan

"Umashio! Asari Ramen" achieves a refreshing yet rich flavor by combining the rich taste of clam broth with a special salt sauce.

While based on a rich pork paitan soup, the addition of lemon pepper at the finish adds a refreshing aroma, creating a flavor that you won't tire of until the last bite.

Toppings include seared mini tomatoes and chicken chashu. The composition is carefully designed to complement the clam umami, creating a visually spring-like dish. The chicken chashu is moist and tender, blending perfectly with the overall gentle flavor. Melting butter halfway through adds richness, allowing you to enjoy a change in taste.

It's an easy-to-eat dish not only for those who prefer lighter flavors but also for those who love Fuhaku's tonkotsu but find it a bit heavy today.

Please enjoy "Umashio! Asari Ramen," a limited-time seasonal bowl that balances spring-like lightness with satisfaction.
