It was "Sanpachi Day," so for dinner, at my wife's request, we had ramen. We usually have soy sauce ramen, but this time we tried the "old-fashioned soy sauce ramen" (my wife ordered salt). The old-fashioned soy sauce ramen was delicious. I prefer it over the regular soy sauce ramen I usually eat. It has a comforting and nostalgic taste that warms the heart. I could get addicted to this. I'll definitely order it again next time we go.

I went to Sanpachi Ramen's Kutchan branch last Sunday. There were many foreign customers, and it was a bit crowded during lunch on Sunday. The staff were very friendly and surprisingly fluent in English. This time, I decided to try the half-sized soy sauce ramen and half-sized fried rice. The soy sauce ramen had a black soup that wasn't too salty and was delicious. However, I felt like the noodles were shorter (maybe to make it easier for foreigners to eat?). The fried rice was also good, with a nice texture. I would like to try the miso ramen next time. I will definitely visit again.

30th cup of 2021♡♡ Around 4:00 PM on 4/11, I had miso ramen for 550 yen at Sanpachi, which was a first-time experience for me (*^^*). I enjoyed it while looking at Mt. Hitsujigaoka. I also received a 100 yen discount ticket on my way out, but it seems it can't be used in Bibai, only in Iwamizawa. Maybe they are different franchises? I'm not sure, but they seem to be in different categories. I was really tempted by the hormone ramen, but it was more expensive at 550 yen (lol). The complimentary ice cream was also appreciated. Thank you for the meal! (๑´ڡ`๑)

Sanpachi seems to have a slightly different menu, but I ordered the Iwata Nori Ramen on this day. Since there were no other customers, it arrived quickly. The Iwata Nori Ramen didn't have a strong seaweed flavor as advertised, but it was decently tasty. This is the strength of chain restaurants. Thank you for the meal! Ψ(*¯ч¯*)''ﾓｸﾞﾓｸﾞ

This is a review of Sanpachi in Kutchan Town. When it comes to Sanpachi, I used to eat there once a month during my time in Kushiro. Eating too much of the Kushiro ramen made Sanpachi's ramen taste exceptionally delicious. It's like resetting your taste buds. Oh! Did I just make enemies with people from Kushiro? Well, there's nothing you can do if something doesn't suit your taste. Anyway, I ordered the miso ramen for 850 yen. When you think of Sanpachi, you think of miso ramen, right? What? 850 yen? Was Sanpachi's miso ramen always this expensive? It seems like ramen can't be enjoyed as casually anymore. The visual presentation is typical of Sanpachi ramen, with the naruto being the highlight. The soup is now lighter compared to before. The saltiness that I remember is no longer there. Maybe it's because there are many foreigners in the Niseko area. The noodles are medium-thick curly noodles, typical of Sapporo ramen. The chashu is now two slices, unlike before. The old theme song is no longer in use. After paying the bill, I received the usual ice cream as a treat. It was delicious. I'll visit again someday. Thank you for the meal!

During a golf training camp in Niseko with my friends, we visited this restaurant while on the move. We were indecisive about what to eat, but ended up having ramen. The ramen was delicious. Thank you.

Miso ramen. The usual taste of "Sanpachi".

In Niseko, I spent the morning skiing from 8:30 without lunch or much rest. I wanted to enjoy night skiing too, but my body couldn't handle it... Ah, I really don't want to get old. After skiing until 4:30, feeling exhausted, I decided to call it a day. I was planning to head back to the accommodation, but then I realized that I was really hungry. So, I casually entered a restaurant called "Ramen Sanpachi." It's a chain ramen shop found in various locations in Hokkaido. I arrived at the restaurant at 4:50. It was still early for dinner, so there was only one family of four, probably like me, just back from skiing. The restaurant had a good number of seats - 4 counter seats, 4 four-seater tables, 3 two-seater tables, and 4 six-seater low tables, but it was quite empty. With just one staff member managing everything, it was understandable. I ordered "Miso Ramen" for ¥800, "Extra Noodles" for ¥150, and "Medium Rice" for ¥120. I thought I would just have a light meal, but I ended up ordering quite a lot due to my hunger. While waiting for the ramen to be served, more customers started coming in. By 5:00, the place was getting busier. The ramen was served surprisingly quickly, in just 5 minutes. The staff was handling everything efficiently, considering it was just one person managing the place. The ramen looked appetizing with slices of char siu, stir-fried bean sprouts, cabbage, onions, bamboo shoots, narutomaki, and chopped green onions on top. The soup had a rich, yellowish miso flavor, with a layer of lard floating on top. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles. The side rice I ordered came with a generous serving of rice topped with three pieces of pickled radish. I tasted the soup first - it had a slightly spicy and sweet miso flavor, with a hint of ginger. The miso flavor overpowered the broth's richness and umami, which is typical of miso ramen. The noodles were chewy and had a good texture but lacked a distinct wheat flavor. They were typical of the classic Sapporo miso ramen style. The char siu was flavorful, the bamboo shoots were spicy and well-seasoned, and the stir-fried vegetables had a nice crunch with a hint of ginger. I finished the bowl feeling satisfied. It was a hearty meal, especially with the extra noodles. While it may not stand out in terms of taste, it was a decent representation of traditional Sapporo miso ramen, which is what you would expect from a chain restaurant. It's suitable for families or quick meals in between work, where a classic and straightforward ramen is just right.

I had Sanpachi ramen after a long time, this time at the Kutchan branch. It used to be a restaurant here before. I remember there was a ramen shop in front of Sanpachi with really bad attitude. I wonder how Sanpachi is now. The interior is pretty much the same as when it was a restaurant. When we entered, there were no other customers. The staff were okay. There are non-smoking and smoking sections, but there are no partitions so it doesn't make much difference. Now, about the ramen. I'm not sure if it's because there's a lot of toppings for the size of the bowl or the bowl is small for the toppings, but I think there's not enough soup. The noodles are not overcooked and are thick. Well, I actually like that. The miso ramen was delicious. It was slightly spicy. My daughter ordered the tonkotsu ramen, but it was a thin pork bone soup. It felt like there was no chicken bones in it. Maybe it has artificial flavoring. I also like tonkotsu ramen, but I wouldn't order it here with this soup. My daughter seemed to like it. We also ordered gyoza, but it was not really to my liking. It's small and lacks juiciness. The shrimp gyoza had crunchy shrimp inside, which I liked, but it tasted more like shumai. I wonder when we'll go there next. I'm not sure if I'll revisit.

Sapporo Ichiban Chitose store, first visit! It's been several years since I last visited a Sapporo Ichiban store. There were two adults and two elementary school children, so we ordered three servings of miso ramen and a half serving of miso ramen. The miso ramen had shichimi or ichimi chili pepper in it, which was too spicy for the children to eat. We asked the staff if they could make it less spicy, and an elderly veteran-looking staff member came and said, "We add spiciness to the miso from the beginning so we can't change it." If that's the case, I wish they had informed us when we ordered that it might be too spicy for young children. Regardless of the taste, I think customer service is important for chain stores to accommodate customers. In the end, we ordered a different non-spicy ramen for the children. .. Of course, we paid for the additional order, but it was a good learning experience. I don't think I'll go back again.

After finishing work, my colleague and I couldn't decide where to eat for lunch, so we ended up going to the chain ramen restaurant "Sanpachi." It was quite busy with customers during lunchtime. We ordered the popular miso ramen, which I have had many times before, so there were no new comments on the taste of the soup or noodles. It was the usual flavor that I was satisfied with. I still think that the miso ramen here is delicious. It has a rich and traditional Sapporo ramen flavor. It's surprising to see that they have a branch in Kutchan town too. Sanpachi seems to be everywhere.

I was really hungry and wanted to eat until I was full, but I didn't know many restaurants in Kutchan, so I ended up at this one. I looked at the menu and ordered the MEGA portion ramen, which was enough for three people, with recommended miso flavor. At first, it tasted delicious, but eating three portions was tough and the flavor got boring. I couldn't even finish the soup because I was so full. The noodles were gone, but I left the chashu and soup. It cost 1500 yen for three portions, which wasn't really worth it considering how quickly I got tired of it. They seem to have special menu items on certain days, so maybe it's better to go on those days.

There is a Sanpachi in Kutchan, but the ambiance feels more like a cafe than a ramen shop. I ordered miso ramen, but it took almost 30 minutes for it to be served, probably because it was busy during lunchtime. They also forgot to bring the side menu I ordered. The taste was just average as expected from a chain, but the wait was too long. I used to think that chain restaurants offer consistent taste and service, so I was a bit disappointed. Even though I got some ice cream to go, I still couldn't fully enjoy it. I hope they can make some improvements.

When I visited Kutchan for business, I stopped by this place. Ramen can be hit or miss (since taste preferences vary), and I've had unpleasant experiences before, so it was a relief this time. It was a cold day, so my body warmed up and I felt at ease. Maybe it's the sense of security in being able to decide without hesitation in an unfamiliar place, or maybe it's just because I was hungry, but I felt like the ramen here was tastier than the one near my home. Well, it's a happy thing, but the miso ramen was delicious. I will definitely visit again.

When I come on a business trip, I always stop by this place. There are many foreigners from Australia and it has an international atmosphere. The miso-based dishes are delicious. The flavors are rich, the noodles are firm, and there is a wide variety of options. I always order the spicy miso, and they even gave me a disposable apron, which was a nice touch. The service is great. The kitchen and the dining area are both well-managed and pleasant. The location is also good, with a beauty salon, a drugstore, and a supermarket nearby. This is a place that makes me want to come back again.
