Umekogen was founded in 1969 with the idea of "shining light on the plum tree" by comparing ramen, a common meal, to the "plum tree" of the pine, bamboo and plum trees. It opened in 1969 ）. Forty years have passed, and we have remained true to our original vision, and today, as one of Asahikawa's representative ramen stores, we continue to serve one bowl of ramen. The "W soup" is said to have originated in Asahikawa, combining the "animal" soup from pork knots and chicken bones with the "seafood" flavor from dried sardines and kelp, and is a perfect match for the custom-made, medium-thin, curly noodles.

Thankfully, many of the customers who came to our former restaurant in the old Yokocho have become repeat customers and have visited the new restaurant many times. We have not dared to change the menu, following the taste of the old restaurant. We are competing with the menu that was loved in the past, but at the same time, we aim to make ramen so that our customers never get tired of one menu item and want to try it again ！. In fact, there are many customers who, once they like a dish, order it all the time. Umeko-ken's ramen is a "comforting ramen" for some reason. Some customers tell us that they feel at home when they eat our ramen. Our well-trained staff will provide you with the same high quality hospitality as in Japan.
