Warm up with some Spicy Ramen

Even with plenty of layers of warm clothing, it’s still easy to feel cold on some nights in Asahikawa, -20 degrees Celsius will do that to ya!.  If you’re going to spend a good deal of time outdoors, sightseeing, skiing, or snowboarding, one of the best ways to keep your body warm is to eat spicy ramen. Any ramen will warm you up, but spicy ramen does it faster and better.

Some ramen shops have a special spicy edition of their ramen on the menu, but since I have not yet seen a ramen shop with an English menu ordering it might be a tall order. Fortunately, every table and counter has a bowl or jar of  mild ground chilies on hand for you to get the job done. Once you’re done, walking around in the snow will feel remarkably more comfortable. Easy as that!
