Hakodate's signature fish is squid and its signature dish is Hakodate shio rāmennot to be confused with shioyuu ramen, a version of the ubiquitous noodle dish prepared with — you guessed it — squid stock instead of the usual pork. Nearby Mori-machi is also reputed to have Japan's finest ika-meshi, rice-stuffed squid.
