Discover the New 'Gomoku Ankake Ramen' from Seven-Eleven Japan

Seven-Eleven Japan, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is set to introduce a delightful new culinary option on October 22—Gomoku Ankake Ramen. This dish is a unique twist on Hokkaido’s popular “ankake” cuisine, which features a rich sauce that envelops the meal, perfect for warming up on cold days.

A Taste of Hokkaido

Hokkaido is renowned for its chilly winters, making hearty meals extremely popular among locals. Among these, “ankake yakisoba” stands as a favorite due to its hot and comforting sauce. Recognizing this local trend, Seven-Eleven sought to innovate and enhance the experience by creating a brand new dish that maintains the essence of ankake while delivering freshness and satisfaction. Thus, Gomoku Ankake Ramen was born, combining a specially crafted sauce with high-quality Chinese noodles and a flavorful soy broth. This dish promises to be a perfect match as the temperatures drop.

Key Features of the Dish

The Ankake

The flavorful sauce in this ramen is prepared by quickly stir-frying a mix of vegetables and seafood at high heat, creating a wonderfully aromatic and rich topping that clings to the noodles. The hot sauce pairs delightfully with the robust flavor of the soy broth, making it an ideal choice for chilly days.

The Broth

The base of Gomoku Ankake Ramen features a combination of pork and chicken bones, subtly infused with a hint of ginger and enhanced with the umami of kombu. This combination results in a sophisticated broth that rivals specialty ramen shops.
