Saw Kenneth review this on Burpple & that was enough to convince me to try this. I am not disappointed!

Ajisai is one of the stalls located inside Hokkaido Marche. Don't confuse the dining concept with the non-Japanese Marche that we all know & grew up with. While it's free-seating in this space, the tables belong to specific stalls you can't mix & match food from different ones.

Thankfully as I dined alone, this wasn't a problem for me. You also pay immediately when you order, not when you leave the premises.

So this Hakodate Chashumen ($15)... The chashus were quite fatty, but as they were thinly sliced, I decided not to peel the fats away & let them melt in my mouth. The ramen is of a thicker variant than what I am used to, but still very Q & bouncy so no complaints there.

The broth is light & refreshing, slightly sweet & not too salty. Which is right up my alley as I don't like salty things. Even though I myself am mostly salty AF.
