Best Hokkaido Butter Corn Ramen in Toronto

“A full pat of Hokkaido butter melting across sweet corn. Indulgence with a postcode.”

What the real thing tastes like

Hokkaido grows Japan's sweetest corn and churns its richest butter, and this bowl refuses to choose between them: miso or shio base, a drift of corn, and a full square of butter melting in real time across the surface. The broth changes character as the butter goes — the last third is a different, richer bowl than the first.

Reviewers narrate the butter's meltline like weather. The sweet-corn-pop against salty broth is the sensation cited most, and everyone agrees the bowl must be eaten fast enough to experience all three butter phases.
