2023/5/7 First Visit "46th Visit in 2023" Today, I needed to go to JAK to buy additional food for Hana-chan. Originally, the plan for the day was to go to Chitose Rera for a walk with Hana-chan, but... well, why not do both! So, we decided to have lunch in Chitose first. How many times is it now... Finally, I found a parking space and slipped in! Mankichi Ramen Chitose Store 11:30 We arrived a little early, but customers started pouring in and the place quickly became full. We placed our order at the entrance, paid, received a receipt with a number, and then waited at our table. When our number was called, we signaled to the staff and they brought our food. It was our first visit, so I ordered miso ramen and my wife ordered salt ramen. We also ordered a half-fried rice. The staff efficiently served the ramen, which was made systematically. I watched the staff working in good coordination. The ramen arrived - it looked very simple. The half-fried rice seemed like a generous portion. Let's dig in. I took a sip of the soup. Mmm, the taste is simple just like it looks! A good balance of sweetness from the white miso in the soup. The broth had a nice umami flavor. It's a straightforward taste, but that's what makes it good. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles made with plenty of water. The noodles had a square cross-section. They paired well with the soup and tasted delicious. The ingredients included stir-fried vegetables and boiled vegetables that were slightly seared. This may help reduce cooking time, but it also tasted pretty good. The chashu was well-portioned and decently flavored. The only thing missing was the menma, which was probably omitted to cut costs. It's not necessary, though (laughs). A solid ramen. And it's quite delicious! The fact that it's only 590 yen is a shocking price. I now understand why it's always so crowded that there's no parking space. My wife also tried the salt ramen and seemed very satisfied. I had a taste, and while it was slightly salty, the fragrant soup made the saltiness work. And then there's the half-fried rice. As expected, it was a generous portion. Moreover, this fried rice was quite delicious. It's definitely among the top when it comes to ramen shop fried rice. The fact that you can get a half-fried rice set for under 1,000 yen is truly surprising. I finished the soup completely, while my wife couldn't eat much of the fried rice, so I ended up eating more than 2/3 of it. Truly satisfying, it couldn't have been a better lunch! Later, when I checked, I found out that there are other stores besides the one in Chitose, and I had been to the store in Hokkongo before and enjoyed the food there. Remembering this, I decided to actively revisit this place, unlike the previous store where I realized it had closed without noticing. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal♪

Spicy Miso Noodles for 760 yen. It was my first time visiting this restaurant. When I looked at the menu, I was surprised by how cheap it was. Since it was my first time, I should have just ordered the first item on the menu, but for some reason I chose the "Spicy Miso" option. Big mistake! The spiciness was too strong, so I couldn't really taste the original miso ramen flavor. I also didn't like the greasiness and burnt taste. Next time, I'll stick to ordering the normal one.

Yesterday, at the request of my family, I had the satisfying noodle. The other day, I had the sweet miso noodle, so this time I tried the new Ro-yaka meat dashi soy sauce noodle. The soy sauce ramen with plenty of ground meat was a bit oily, and I think I prefer the miso flavor. The fried rice had a good amount and taste. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Today's lunch was at "Manzoku Noodle" in Chitose City. They have a special deal where you can get two bowls for the price of one (only for Amamiso, Karame Miso, and Nikudashi Shoyu). We ordered Amamiso and Karame Miso for 590 yen! Normally it would have been 1350 yen for both, but we only paid 590 yen. Kanjin's noodles are firm and don't expand when you eat two bowls. The Amamiso was really delicious. The Karame Miso was okay. Eating them alternately brings out the best of each flavor and you can keep eating endlessly. Thank you for the meal. We will come back again. Goodbye!

Today was another satisfying day with a dream plan where you can eat two bowls for the price of one, but I had to politely decline due to lack of time. I went with the sweet miso noodle soup again, which never fails to impress with its great value. The miso ramen has a roasted aroma that adds to its deliciousness. And the price is simply unbeatable. Thank you for the satisfying meal!

A new cost-effective restaurant similar to the ones in Sapporo has opened in Chitose, which will be convenient for work trips in this area. I tried the miso tantan noodles for the first time, and it was easy to eat with a moderate level of spiciness. The noodles were a bit too soft for my liking, so I will order them firmer next time. Sapporo noodles are usually to my liking. My partner had the rich miso, and I tried a bit of the soup, which was flavorful and delicious. I will definitely visit again when I'm in this area. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch was at "Manzoku Noodle Chitose-ten". It's a satisfaction day today, where you get two bowls for the price of one. And now, you can even choose different types of ramen. Before, it was limited to the same type, so I got bored towards the end. So, I ordered the "Sweet Miso & Tonkotsu Shoyu" for 590 yen. Tonkotsu Shoyu and Tonkotsu Shio are new menu items starting today, but the menu hasn't caught up yet. I was the second customer, so my bowl came out quickly, and the visual got me excited. I've never eaten two different bowls of ramen at the same time, so I was nervous. By alternating between bites of each bowl, my mouth got refreshed, and I found myself eating more and more. I loved this way of eating. I was completely absorbed and finished every last bit. My belly is so full, ahh, so happy. Thank you for the meal, I'll come back again. Goodbye. P.S. Got a coupon by posting a review on Google.

The first day of the Obon holiday. It's already past 1 pm, and everywhere I go there are long lines. At that time, I passed by this restaurant and noticed that there was an empty parking space, so I decided to stop by. Satisfied Noodle! I've never heard of it before, but when I looked it up, I found out that there are two stores in Sapporo. The prices are very cheap. It's a store that sells satisfaction at a low price. Orders are taken at the register and payment is made in advance. Sweet miso noodles cost 590 yen, and half fried rice costs 380 yen. The miso ramen has an old-fashioned taste. The yellow curly noodles and slightly crunchy bean sprouts give it a nostalgic flavor. However, it is quite salty. The fried rice, even though it's a half portion, is quite filling. It has a lot of oil, and the seasoning is not to my liking. And once again, it is too salty! I tried my best to finish it, but ended up leaving some uneaten. It would have been better if they could reduce the saltiness a bit. In the end, it was a meal that left me unsatisfied.

This seems to be the third store from the previous one, but I had never been to any other store before, and I was curious about it. Finally, I was able to come. First, you order and pay at the counter before taking a seat. The prices are really cheap. Today, when I ordered one item from three menu options, I was told that I would get another one for free, but I couldn't eat two bowls. I didn't have high expectations because the prices were low, but the size of the bowl and the taste were not bad at all. The noodles were cooked firm, and the miso flavor was not as sweet as the name suggests. It's more of a savory white miso flavor. I have definitely decided to come back for more. Next time, I might try the soy sauce-based dish. ✌️

Today is Satisfaction Day at this restaurant - order one bowl and get another one free! I was planning on trying a different type of ramen, but turns out the offer only applies to the same kind. So, I got two portions in one bowl. The miso ramen here is really delicious - rich and sweet with a nice aroma. The noodles are also nice and smooth. I'm stuffed! Completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal - I'll definitely come back on Satisfaction Day again.

I visited around 11 am on a regular day. It was still early but there were a decent number of customers. I ordered the sweet miso ramen for 590 yen and half-fried rice for 380 yen. The ramen had a nice aroma from the sautéed vegetables and the soup was delicious. The noodles were also tasty, typical of Sapporo miso ramen. It was surprisingly delicious considering the low price. Great value for money. As for the fried rice, it was nothing special, just average.

One of the perks of being a salaryman is going on business trips! Mainland Japan is currently facing challenges with typhoons and the rainy season front. Before heading back, I decided to take a walk around Chitose city during a brief moment of sunshine. For lunch, I chose this place called "Manzoku Ramen" with a fantastic name! It used to have a different name, but I was drawn to this new establishment. Their recommended dish is the "Sweet Miso Ramen." The regular size is 590 yen, and the large size (with an extra 150 yen) is 740 yen. I used a coupon to add a seasoned boiled egg. This place offers great value for money! The sweet miso ramen had everything I expected and more. The stir-fried bean sprouts were delicious, and the noodles were of Hokkaido style. There was also a hint of pork fat, making it even better. Thank you for the meal! Sweet Miso Ramen 590 yen, Large 150 yen.

【Fast! Cheap!】A popular restaurant in Sapporo visited Chitose for the first time, and the system of prepayment at the manned register instead of the ticket vending machine is unusual. It's like the old department store dining hall, and the prices are cheap! The lunch menu is ramen + rice for 690 yen, which is a delight for us commoners. The place was crowded, but the ordered items were brought to us in about 5 minutes. The taste is average. The parking lot is small and difficult to enter due to the obstructive utility pole on the corner. Speed and affordability seem to be the main selling points here.

I love Menya and Kalbi, their dream collaboration. I used a coupon to get the Beef Kalbi Yakiniku Satisfaction Set because I didn't have eggs at home. The set costs 1110 yen and includes a mild meat broth option. The broth contains ground pork. The noodles are curly, and the chashu is thin. The kalbi comes with sauce that you can adjust to your taste, but it was served cold, so I wish they had at least microwaved it. The rice was delicious, probably from Hokkaido. I'm so full, it was amazing. Completely satisfied. Satisfied, satisfied, satisfied (Noodle Applause).

I went to "Manzoku Noodle" after work! It's great that they have expanded to Chitose, although parking can be difficult. But once you get past that, you can enjoy delicious ramen! I ordered the "Mild Pork Dashi Shoyu Noodle (¥590)" and got a seasoned egg for free with a LINE coupon! The ramen that arrived was so elaborate that you wouldn't expect to get four 100 yen coins back! It had toppings like chashu, white negi, sesame seeds, and ground meat. Even though it didn't have bamboo shoots, it was more than enough! Even without extra toppings, having half a boiled egg was a nice touch! The layer of lard on top made it look a bit oily. The first flavor that hits you is the soy sauce, and the original dashi flavor is somewhat subtle. But then the sweetness of the vegetables comes through, making it not too salty and not greasy... it's well-rounded, you could say. It's light and doesn't cause any stomach discomfort at all! The chashu was on the thinner side, which goes well with the light soup. The egg was well-seasoned and perfectly runny inside. It was generous with the eggs, which is appreciated in this day and age! The ground meat was plentiful, adding to the eating experience and compensating for the thinner chashu slices! The noodles had a chewy texture. They also naturally soaked up the soup! At this price point, as long as it's not terrible, you'll be satisfied, but the fact that it's made with such attention to detail that doesn't necessarily correspond to the price is surprising! This might become popular, with a popular ramen shop from Sapporo opening within easy reach! Although Haruichiya and Ichiba have closed down, I hope this one stays for a long time! I'll definitely come back to try a ramen other than the ¥590 one next time! Thank you for the meal.

I discovered this place while I was at work, so I decided to check it out. Their specialty is sweet miso ramen. The interior of the restaurant is clean, but the ordering system is unique. You order at the register and pay first, similar to a cafeteria style. I ordered the "Satisfaction Set" with sweet miso ramen for only 630 yen, which is very affordable. The set came with ramen and rice. The ramen had a sweet flavor and the soup was delicious, but when eaten with the rice, it felt a bit lacking. The noodles were slightly thin and curly, with a good texture. The bean sprouts were crunchy, and although the chashu was small, it was good too. I think it offers good value for the price. If they continue to refine their menu, they could become a popular spot. They also have hearty menu options, so I plan to try those next time. Thank you for the meal.

In April 2023, I visited a new ramen restaurant located on the east side of JR Chitose Station, in the so-called back alley area. It is situated in a corner of the area known as "Indian Waterwheel Street Shopping District" along National Route 337, running towards Nagano. This place used to be a building where "Kozou Sushi" was located, and later a ramen restaurant moved in but did not last long. This new restaurant, named "Satisfied Noodle," seems to have its main store in Sapporo. The pricing at this restaurant is quite affordable, starting from 590 yen for a bowl of ramen. The ramen I tried on my first visit was the "Light Soy Sauce Noodle" paired with a "Half Fried Rice" for a total of 970 yen. The light soy sauce broth had a clear soup base with a soy sauce flavor and a hint of seafood. The noodles were medium-thin with a moderate water content. The toppings included a small slice of chashu, half a boiled egg, bean sprouts, chopped green onions, and were simple in nature. The pricing is reflected in the quality of the food, with the ramen being decent for its price. The service was rated 2.5 stars, as there were some issues with staff unfamiliarity and inefficiency. The restaurant operates with a style where customers order and pay at the counter before seating, but some customers did not realize this and caused confusion. There were also issues with water not being provided promptly at the tables and confusion when delivering food to the correct customers. In terms of longevity, the main challenge for this restaurant may be the difficult access to the parking lot due to obstacles like guardrails and utility poles, as well as limited parking spaces compared to the capacity of the restaurant. It remains to be seen if these challenges will affect the restaurant's success in the long run.

Just before opening, waiting in the parking lot, I got the first spot at this restaurant. The sweet miso ramen for 590 yen and the pork belly rice bowl for 380 yen were both delicious. It's great that this famous chain from Chitose came here, so I don't have to go all the way to Sapporo. The most popular sweet miso ramen was amazing - the soup was sweet with simmered vegetables and a rich miso flavor. The noodles were firm and went perfectly with the soup. To get all this for 590 yen is really satisfying. The pork belly rice bowl had plenty of pork belly pieces that were tender and flavorful. It was so good that it makes you want to eat noodles again. Thank you for the meal, I'll definitely come back!

I went to the ramen shop with our manager from our Chitose branch. He has a tendency to not go to places he wants to try alone and always brings me along as a "companion". This day was no different. The parking lot could fit about 7-8 cars around the shop, and the capacity inside was enough to accommodate those customers. You pay at the counter before ordering, not with a ticket machine. There was a new staff member who seemed a bit inexperienced, but that's to be expected at a new store. After a short wait, we were served with a very generous portion of ramen. The taste was honestly neither good nor bad. I thought it might be sweeter based on the menu name, but it wasn't. Considering the price, it was satisfactory for my taste. I would recommend it to those who want to eat a lot and feel full.

The ramen shop I planned to visit was unexpectedly closed, so I ended up going to this place I found on the way. I didn't know the system, so when asked for my order, I panicked and quickly chose the sweet miso noodles and half-fried rice from the menu behind me. I should have decided on my order before entering, where the menu was located between the first and second doors. Maybe I should have gone for the char-mayo instead, or the sweet miso with a mountain of vegetables as a single item. The ramen was only 590 yen, and even though it didn't come with chashu, the soup and noodles were delicious, and it had plenty of bean sprouts. The fried rice, however, was a bit disappointing as it was overcooked and clumpy. Despite that, I would like to try the mountain vegetable ramen or the spicy miso next time because the ramen was tasty. Thank you for the meal.

It's a new restaurant, right? Where is it? Over there?...GO≡33 It was full, but luckily one car left as I arrived at 11:30. The place wasn't full, with about 8 seats available. The previous customer sat at the counter without ordering. There was a sign at the entrance saying "Payment must be made in advance," but it's better to know that beforehand. I ordered miso tantan noodles with a boiled egg, and it arrived in no time, being the fourth in line for takeout. Oh, there's a yolk with it, haha. I cut the yolk and mixed it with the noodles... It's delicious! The miso flavor is strong but mild, even kids can eat it. I hope this building will last long! Congratulations on the grand opening! Miso tantan noodles 760 yen, boiled egg 70 yen. Thank you for the meal! (^^)v
