There are quite a no. of family run restaurants in Lake Toya. I came to visit this shop and tried a miso ramen. Found out the green onion is very strong and the bean sprouts are very juicy. The miso soup is a bit salty to me but that's the classic miso ramen. Then I noticed an aerial photo showing where this ramen shop is and the volcano called 金比羅 is actually very near to the residential area (about 0.5km).
Thank you for the good info and the geography class of Japan and Hokkaido here.
ReplyDeleteI don't get to know this place too often.
Interesting that human still decide to settle right next to a volcano.
ReplyDeleteProbably after the eruption, they would think "ok, at least for the next few more decades, it won't happen again.".
