Miso Ramen (half) 650 yen Sweet miso flavor. It's hot and delicious with thin noodles that blend well. It's nice that there's plenty of bean sprouts. Spicy Miso Ramen 950 yen Quite spicy. There's a good flavor within the spiciness. Cha-mayo Don (half) 300 yen It's delicious, but the rice didn't go as well with the cha-mayo as expected. Half Fried Rice 400 yen It's rich and tasty. There's plenty of chashu. There are disposable chopsticks, toothpicks, tissues, shichimi (Japanese spice blend), pepper, and water at the counter. The service is good.

Today's lunch was at Owaraiya, where I had the special set of half shoyu ramen and chashu rice bowl for 880 yen. Originally, I was thinking of getting the spicy ramen, but after seeing the special set, I changed my mind. I decided to go with shoyu ramen, which is limited to shoyu and salt flavors. I don't dislike seafood-based broth, in fact, I quite like it, but I felt like it was lacking a bit of punch and was slightly salty. Next time, I'll try a different flavor for a new challenge.

I ordered a salt ramen and chashu mayo donburi half set, even though it wasn't on the menu, after seeing a special set menu posted on the wall. The ramen arrived in 10 minutes, with slightly cloudy soup containing chashu, green onions, bamboo shoots, and spinach. The soup had a strong seafood flavor, with scallops used for the broth. The thin, firm noodles were cooked to my liking. The seasoned bamboo shoots and well-flavored chashu made for a delicious combination. The chashu mayo donburi consisted of diced chashu topped with green onions, white sesame seeds, and pickled ginger. This combination was perfect for mayonnaise lovers.

Last week, I had ramen once on Sunday and cup noodles once, but my craving for ramen just won't stop. I need to satisfy this craving with my favorite spicy and delicious ramen to avoid any health issues. My favorite spicy miso ramen can be found at Bamban Sanpei (near Ichijo-dori station). I want to go for a milder spiciness this time, as I am already 51 years old and need to take care of my health. I chose Oo Wara-ya this time because they offer a mild spicy ramen with lean pork chashu. I arrived at around 1:30 pm and ordered the Laugh Spicy Miso ramen with chashu. The presentation of the ramen was impressive, with nicely sliced chashu and stir-fried vegetables. The soup was hot, but the spiciness was milder than it looked, which was perfect for me today. The noodles were cooked just right, with a good texture. The chashu was lean, which I prefer. Overall, the ramen was delicious and satisfying, worth the price. I always end up ordering spicy ramen, even though I'm curious about other flavors. Maybe next time I'll try the super spicy one. Thank you for the meal!

A variety of ramen options are available at this restaurant, with a special focus on spicy ramen which is popular among fans of heat. The interior features a counter seating area and two four-person tables. Sitting at the counter, it's a tough choice between "Smiling Spicy Miso" and "Angry Spicy Miso". When asked, the owner mentioned that the Angry Spicy is about three times spicier than the Smiling Spicy. I decided to go for the spiciest option, the "Are You Ready to Get Angry?!" Angry Spicy Miso (950 yen including tax). When the bowl arrived, the soup looked quite spicy. Taking a sip, it was indeed spicy but also had a rich flavor and depth. The noodles were thin, low-water content noodles from Sudo Seimen, which paired well with the spicy soup. On top of the noodles, there was a large piece of chashu, salted bamboo shoots, green onions, stir-fried bean sprouts, onions, and leeks. I've had my fair share of spicy ramen, but this one was one of the spiciest I've had in a while! The owner mentioned that they use red chili peppers, bird's eye chili, and nanban among other ingredients. They also have a ramen topped with cheese, which I would love to try next time!

I wanted to eat spicy ramen, so I searched online and decided on Daioya. The interior of the restaurant is simple, with a counter surrounding the kitchen and table seats. One of us ordered the "Angry Spicy Miso" for 950 yen, which is divided into "Smiling Spicy" and "Angry Spicy" based on the level of spiciness. The other person ordered the "Soy Sauce Chashu" for 1000 yen. I had the "Ramen (Salt) + Chashu-Mayo Rice Bowl Half" for 880 yen. The salt ramen had chashu, menma, spinach, and green onions, and the soup was delicious, pairing well with the thin noodles. The chashu was thick, lean, and tender. I think this salt ramen is on par with the delicious ramen in Asahikawa. The chashu-mayo rice bowl was easier to eat than expected, as the mayo did not overpower the dish. The Angry Spicy Miso was just the right level of spiciness for those who enjoy spicy food. It's not a challenge, but rather a dish to enjoy the spiciness in a delicious way.

Asahikawa City has been experiencing snowstorms every day since New Year's Day. It's so cold that I don't feel like going out, but I found an open shop on my way back from cleaning! It's fantastic. I went in for the first time and it was a great choice. The cheese melts in the deliciously spicy soup! For those who like spicy food, the visually vibrant and very spicy miso is recommended! Thank you for the meal. It's about a 20-minute walk east from JR Asahikawa Station East Exit. Keep walking straight ahead from SUBARU, past the bridge and the FireBurg and soba restaurants, and you'll see Oo Waraya.

It's a ramen specialty shop. I parked in the parking lot at the entrance, but I'm not sure where the shop's parking lot ends (lol). I sat at the counter right after entering and looked at the menu. Spicy miso? (lol) Well, I guess they named it after the shop. I ordered that for now. Maybe the ventilation is poor, or they boil it with a lot of power, because my glasses won't stop fogging up (lol). It didn't take long for it to come. The miso has a nice aroma. The spiciness is not as strong as it looks, but it has a strong chili pepper flavor, which is a bit different from my preference. Maybe I'll try the soy sauce next time. Also, it cost 1100 yen... hmm, thank you for the meal. By the way, it's hard to get out of the parking lot (lol).

Quite a while ago... maybe more than 5 years? I had a salt ramen that was like gold soup, and the impression of the clear soup stayed with me (* ॑꒳ ॑* ). I don't usually pass by this road, as there is a lot of traffic, so I often just zoom past. But today, I had some errands nearby and the timing seemed just right for a visit after a long time. I decided to go for the regular soy sauce ramen since I don't like miso. Looking at the menu, I noticed they offer a child-sized portion for all dishes. Despite my big attitude, my stomach today seemed to be in a child-sized state (lol). I observed the quick preparation process without trying to look too obvious, and it was clear that the ramen would be served piping hot. It looked and smelled delicious. I initially intended to order soy sauce ramen, but I was drawn to the scent of dried fish in the restaurant, so I ended up choosing the "Ankake Shoyu" ramen. It was the right choice! The soup had no off-flavors, the thickness was smooth but not too loose, and it stayed hot until the last bite. The seasoning was not too salty, and I felt like I could finish the whole soup. There were plenty of vegetables (bean sprouts), so the amount of noodles was just right. This won't affect my evening drink (lol). After finishing my meal, I realized they also had "Ankake Shio" ramen... I might try the super spicy one next time.

This time, I had already decided on this menu at this restaurant. Among the many ramen shops in Asahikawa, it is rare to find a ramen that combines deliciousness and spiciness. As far as I know, there are only a few. This is one of them. It's been a while. Since the day before, my mouth and mind have been filled with thoughts of this restaurant. Taking a break in the midst of aiming for a healthy body. This place also offers a service to split the noodles in half, which is nice. The spicy soup. But you can still taste it well. But it's still spicy. The noodles are cooked perfectly. This restaurant is very meticulous. The chashu is delicious with just the right tenderness. It's fun to eat. While there are spicy shops that only challenge you with spiciness, this place makes you feel the deliciousness within the spiciness. It's a very satisfying restaurant. But next time, I want to try a completely different flavor. When I enter here, I automatically switch to extreme spicy mode. The restaurant has a sense of cleanliness and is pleasant.

I came across this restaurant while looking for lunch options near my workplace. I ordered the Kinshio ramen for 680 yen. It had a light salt flavor and curly noodles. The chashu was delicious. The portion size was not big, but it was satisfying for lunch that day. It seems like spicy miso ramen is also a specialty of this restaurant, so I will try it next time. Thank you for the meal.

In July, my colleague and I visited "Rekidai Ramen Ooara-ya" in Higashi Miyamachi, Asahikawa City. It was our second visit to this restaurant. My colleague ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen (800 yen) while I decided to try the Angry Spicy Miso Ramen (880 yen) this time. The soup was thick and the spiciness was just right, making it delicious. I was able to handle the spiciness well, although the chili pepper made my throat tickle a bit. I managed to finish the noodles, but couldn't drink up all the soup. Nevertheless, it was a tasty meal. My stomach felt warm for a while after eating. It reminded me of the feeling I had after eating Sanpei Ramen.

Set meal with Kinshio Ramen and Char-mayo Donburi half. The noodles' firmness and Kinshio Ramen were both delicious and wallet-friendly menu. The menu prices have not increased, and the restaurant is working hard. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I prefer thin noodles. I didn't have the courage or money to add cheese.

This is my second visit. The children chose the kids' salt and soy sauce flavors. I ordered the retro soy sauce flavor. Ramen is a matter of personal taste, so preferences can vary greatly.

Gold salt 700 yen

Every time I passed by this restaurant, I wondered what kind of place it was and just kept walking. It was listed in the guidebook, so when I passed by during dinner time, I decided to go in. The name of the place is Daishoya, and it's known for its retro-style ramen. I decided to try the retro soy sauce ramen. The menu had a variety of options like gold salt ramen, miso cheese ramen, and spicy ramen. The interior had a concrete wall, and there were manga books on the shelf. The ramen arrived, and it was quite thick and flavorful. However, I found it too salty and the noodles didn't mix well with the soup. The overall taste was not to my liking. While the service and cleanliness were good, I probably won't be returning as the food didn't suit my taste.

I had the Retro Soy Sauce Ramen at RAMPASS. It is a fish-based soup. The bowl was large, making it seem like a large portion. The noodles were firm and just right. The soup was unique and a bit strong in flavor. They also offer extra noodles or a large portion, which is impressive.

I pass by this restaurant almost every week in my car, usually in a hurry to get to the station or home. Today, I had some time before watching a movie at 7 p.m., so I decided to stop by Ramen Oogoya. There were only two cars parked, but they were both parked in a tricky way, so I parked at the very edge, leaving enough space to get out later, and got out of the car halfway open. I sat at the counter, right in the center where I could see the entire kitchen. The heat and humidity coming from the kitchen were intense! My glasses kept fogging up, no matter how many times I wiped them. The walls and the glass door at the entrance were all fogged up too. There were quite a few customers already inside... about 10 people (including 3 at the counter)... The guy next to me and a group of 5 behind me seemed to have just placed their orders... The sole male owner seemed to be handling everything by himself. He looked almost 180 cm tall, but the gas stoves made of fire-resistant concrete bricks were surprisingly low, lower than his waist. It seemed to be designed that way to reduce wrist strain when stirring the wok. Since he was busy working, I pretended to look at the menu for a bit... they had options like Kinshio, Ajisaki Ramen, Miso, Spicy Miso, Angry Spicy Miso, Miso Cheese, and more... I was a bit indecisive, so I went with "Shoyu, please!" priced at 680 yen. I added extra noodles for a large portion (1.5 servings) for 100 yen, a mega portion (2.0 servings) for 200 yen, and a huge portion (2.5 servings) for 300 yen. The noodles here are from Sudo Seimen, as written on the curtain. The soup is made from pork bones, chicken bones, seafood, vegetables, and for depth, beef bones, and scallops for umami. The owner was finishing up the 5 bowls for the group of 5, each with different toppings. This group seemed to have ordered the miso flavor with cheese and vegetable stir-fry. The bowls were placed on the counter, and he brought two over to me while holding the third. The cheese on the counter bowls was melting nicely... On his way back, he brought me a glass of water. Even though it's self-service, I appreciated the gesture considering how busy he was... Thank you. It took 13 minutes for the ramen to arrive. The guy next to me at the counter and the solo customer's ramen were being prepared alongside mine. They both ordered the cheese ramen. The black bowls were quite large. They made a solid sound when placed on the counter. The aroma was a mix of scallops, seafood... maybe dried fish, with a good fragrance. Let's see... ah, a rich and sweet aroma reminiscent of oden soup. It has a clear appearance with not too much oil. The topping looks like it has a lot of tendons. Is it not menma? Let's try it first... ah, the crunchy texture is indeed bamboo shoots rather than menma. The mild soy sauce flavor is also good. The noodles are low-hydration, medium-thin curly noodles. They were cooked al dente. The scallop flavor in this soup, combined with the Sudo Seimen noodles, resulted in a slightly Chinese-style finish that was delicious. The chashu was made from pork shoulder... about 4-5 mm thick with a nice soy sauce flavor throughout. It was tender with a good bite. Lastly, I took a few sips of the soup. If I were to try this soup again, I might go for the salt flavor for a more refined taste. Next time, I'll try the salt ramen, followed by the cheese miso ramen! Thank you for the meal.
