Arrived at the usual time of 12 o'clock. One group of customers before me, and one group after. It's my second visit in a little over six months. The scorching heat in Sapporo seems to have eased, feeling cooler, but it's still hot. However, most places seem to offer cold ramen only until the end of August. This time, the wife was running the shop alone. Prices have finally been raised by 50-100 yen... Understandable in these times. This time, I ordered the summer limited edition "Reikoi Men (Miso Milk Flavor)" for 950 yen. "Reikoi" is pronounced as "hyakkoi" in Hokkaido dialect, meaning "cold." Besides the regular hot ramen with salt, soy sauce, and miso flavors (900 yen), there is also a miso milk flavor available. It arrived shortly. The soup felt like a chilled version of the "Miso Milk Men" I had last time, but it was delicious without any discomfort! I could sense a slight acidity. The spicy miso with milk was mellow and delicious! I don't think there is cheese in it, as it might solidify when cold. The thin, curly noodles rinsed with cold water were just right in firmness. The chicken chashu was still delicious! Other toppings included half a soft-boiled seasoned egg, green onions, and kaiware. There was ice in it, but it was regular ice, not frozen soup. I didn't feel like the soup was diluted. Once again, I was satisfied with the deliciousness. Cold miso is quite rare. I will come back again! [Summer Limited Edition] Recommended Cold Ramen in Sapporo.

Salt ramen for 850 yen. The sesame oil flavor is stronger than I expected, so it was not quite to my liking as I thought it would be more refreshing. The noodles are thin. Mini pork bowl for 450 yen. The slightly sweet sauce with grilled pork belly on top. The pork belly itself is not coated with the sauce, but the rice has plenty of sauce which makes it easy to eat. I think it would be even more delicious if the pork belly itself had a slightly stronger flavor or if the sauce was mixed in. On the counter, there are water, ramen condiments, black pepper, white pepper, shichimi (Japanese seven spice), soy sauce, chili oil, vinegar, disposable chopsticks, toothpicks, spoon, paper napkins, and tissues. The service is good. The downside is that it can get hot inside because there is no air conditioning.

I have written 641 reviews so far, but I haven't reviewed a ramen restaurant yet. This is probably my first time. I have reviewed Chinese noodle dishes before, but I don't usually go to ramen restaurants. It's not that I dislike them, but I'm not a fan of eating quickly and leaving. This time, my eldest daughter said she wanted to eat ramen, so we decided to give it a try. We went after visiting Shiroi Koibito Park, so it was not too crowded as we arrived after lunchtime. We ordered: Miso Ramen for me (750 yen), Shoyu Ramen for my husband (750 yen), and Miso Milk Noodles for my daughter (850 yen). My husband also had a beer! You can see them searing the chashu from the counter. The ramen arrived, and it was delicious. The slightly spicy miso broth paired well with the thin noodles, and the chashu was tender and flavorful. I also tried the broth from my husband and daughter's bowls. My husband's shoyu ramen was simple and tasty, while my daughter's miso milk noodles had chicken instead of chashu, and the cheese made it creamy and delicious. The ramen was really good. The menu on the website still shows prices from 2017, and it's impressive that they haven't increased their prices despite all the news about price hikes.

Arrived just after 11 am when the store opened. I was the first customer, followed by one more person. I exited from the back entrance of a building directly connected to Exit 1 of Odori Subway Station, and headed to the underground dining area in the building across the street. The ramen shop I wanted to go to had a long line, so I decided to try this place instead. The restaurant had a small counter with 7 seats, separated by transparent acrylic panels. The background music was playing from an AM radio, but it was quite soft. An elderly couple seemed to be running the place. The "sanmi" ramen was priced at 750 yen, which has remained the same for almost 10 years - truly impressive. Although this place is known for its salt ramen, I was intrigued by the menu item "Miso Milk Noodles" (850 yen). The dish arrived promptly, with cheese on top that needed to be mixed in. The slightly spicy miso paired well with the creamy milk, and the cheese added a punch of flavor - delicious! The thin curly noodles were cooked perfectly firm. The two slices of chicken chashu were tender and lightly seared, adding a nice smoky flavor. The dish also included white leeks and kaiware. The miso ramen was uniquely satisfying, with a well-balanced and perfected taste that can only be found here. I was recommended to try adding rice to make a risotto (available outside of lunch hours), which I can see being a great combination. I look forward to trying the regular miso ramen next time.

I felt the taste was a bit bland. The ramen was polite and elegant, but with this appearance, the lack of flavor made it lack impact and didn't give me the satisfying feeling of eating ramen. When I'm hungry and want a hearty lunch, I feel a bit unsatisfied. However, as mentioned before, the taste is polite and elegant, and it's undeniable that this ramen offers a unique flavor that can only be experienced here.

Just after noon, I descended the stairs of the underground food court in the President Matsui Building from the main exit of Odori Station (Nakadori). Kazu, a new Western-style restaurant, was full with a waiting list starting from 12:30. I decided to skip it and instead went to Shoyo Tei, a ramen shop where there was only one customer ahead of me. I quickly slid into a seat at the back of the counter. I ordered the recommended salt vegetable ramen, which arrived promptly. The soup had a gentle salt flavor, reminiscent of something familiar. The stir-fried vegetables were crunchy and delicious. The noodles were thin and white, reminiscent of the Sapporo Ichiban salt ramen my mother used to make for me on Sundays during my childhood. The cabbage, carrots, bell peppers, and onions were all similar to what she used to put in, and I think she also added bean sprouts. Of course, the taste of this restaurant's ramen was far superior, but it felt like an extension of that childhood memory. The kind voice of the owner and the sincere service of his wife added to the pleasant experience. It was delicious! I wonder if I should try the summer noodles next time, or maybe the famous oyster ramen from Kushiro. For those who enjoy topping their Sapporo Ichiban salt ramen with stir-fried vegetables, I highly recommend coming here to taste this meticulously crafted ramen that is a complete upgrade.

This is the miso ramen (760 yen). I was also curious about the miso milk. It looks pretty red, but it's not spicy miso ramen, so don't worry, it's not that spicy haha. It's a miso ramen that you can enjoy easily with less oil and a light taste. The thin curly noodles, which are not yellow, are quite rare I think. Because of that, you can eat it lightly without feeling too full. No damage to the stomach! It's great for work in the afternoon! The seared chashu was soft and had just the right amount of fat, very delicious. They also have alcohol and snacks (quite cheap and a wide variety), so it seems like a good idea to have a drink and snack after work and then go home! It's a smoking-permitted establishment.

I had always been curious about Shoyo-tei. It opened in 2008. At that time, there was a Sapporo salt ramen boom, and I had tried Tachibana (closed), Ranku (closed), and Kiwami (moved to Fukagawa), but I hadn't tried this place. I had been wondering if salt ramen would become more popular as the elderly population increased, but it didn't seem to be the case. It was around late afternoon when I visited, even though it was lunchtime. I appreciated that they were open all day. The restaurant had only one counter seat, with one customer already there and one customer coming in after me. I ordered the salt ramen. The soup is made with chicken, bonito, and vegetable broth, using salt from Bolivia. The presentation was beautiful. The clear salt soup, deep green seaweed, pale bamboo shoots, green onions, and red garnish (I see it often but I don't know what it is, haha) all came together in harmony. The noodles were a bit unusual, with a white color and a taste similar to non-fried noodles. I was feeling tired that day and this salt ramen was probably the only thing I could eat, but it was delicious. As I was leaving, the staff didn't just say it as a formality, but genuinely said, "Please come again~" and it made me happy.

- Salt ramen, 750 yen. Located near Nishi 4-chome Station of the streetcar, in the basement of President Matsui Building 100. It's rare in Sapporo, with salt ramen being their specialty! The shop is small, and the staff were friendly. I went on a weekday at 1 pm and there were no other customers. I got my ramen in about 6-7 minutes! The soup is light but flavorful, with a good balance of salt. The thin curly noodles pair well with the soup. It's a great choice when you're craving something light or after a night of drinking. Thank you for the meal!

◉2021/06/10/THU #143 ★Ra-men Shoyotei @ Reiren Ramen (Cold Love Ramen with Salt) for ¥800 It had been about 3 years since I last visited this place. When the weather gets warmer, I start craving cold dishes! "Reiren" means cold love in Japanese. There are so many types of cold ramen out there, but I decided to stick to my original choice. I ordered the Reiren Ramen with salt. There was only one customer before me, but I was served quickly. Bam! It looked so refreshing! They also provided yuzu pepper, saying "Feel free to use it." The soup had a refreshing saltiness with a strong umami flavor. It was so delicious that I wanted to carry the soup alone in a thermos! The noodles were thin and curly, with a good chewiness. Perfect for cold noodle lovers! The char siu (roasted pork) had a nice sear and was not too fatty, which paired well with the cold soup. The thinly sliced bamboo shoots and seaweed added a nice touch. The yuzu pepper provided as a service complemented the soup perfectly. I was very satisfied with the meal! Thank you for the delicious food!

This is a ramen restaurant located in the basement of President Matsui Building near Denmachi Nishi 4-chome Station. The name "Shoyo-tei" sounds like it could belong to a hot spring inn, right? "Shoyo" means to wander around leisurely, just like strolling around like a dad. It's a perfect name for a ramen shop! There were no customers when I arrived, but one came in after me. I was tempted to try the eye-catching miso milk noodles, but I decided to go for the basic option - salt ramen. The salt ramen costs 750 yen. It arrived in about 10 minutes. It came with seaweed, 5 pieces of pickled radish, a large slice of chashu, long menma, green onions, and clear soup. Let's dig in! First, the soup. It's not overpowering but has a good dashi flavor and tastes delicious. The seasoning is just right. The seaweed doesn't get in the way. The noodles give off a Hakodate vibe for salt ramen, but they go well with this dish. They felt a bit soft, so you might want to ask for them to be cooked more firm. The chashu is tender yet firm, giving a satisfying texture. It has a strong presence and I like this type of chashu! Overall, this salt ramen is well-executed and tasty. It was a delicious bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal. This is my 10th ramen review of 2021.

Sapporo is completely autumnal. Today, I decided to have an early lunch before heading to work, so I headed towards the Odori area. I walked along Nishi 5-chome Tarukawa-dori, one street west of the station front street, as I had walked along the station front street for two consecutive days. There aren't as many people walking here compared to the station front street. I don't see any tourists in front of the Hokkaido Government Red Brick Building, and the Odori Park is also quiet. I turned right down the street behind the Hotel Okura Sapporo, next to the President Matsui Building's multi-story parking lot, where a red flag serves as a landmark for a narrow entrance that leads down to the basement. However, it was still 5 minutes before the opening time of 11:00 am, so I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood before going down. When I stepped out onto the street, I noticed another red flag on the Ekimae Street. The entrance was not at the President Matsui Building entrance, but it seemed to be at the "Basement Taste Restaurant Street" next to the same building. Going down to this building's basement, I realized that finding the entrance to a basement in a building for the first time can be confusing. Since most of the other shops were closed, I assumed that there were mostly night-time establishments here. This restaurant was completely unknown to me in the Odori area. Looking at the menu photos, the "Shio-men" at the top caught my attention, but what really intrigued me was the "Snow Brand Butter Rice" on the rice menu, so I decided to check it out. The interior of the restaurant was small, with only counter seats. Initially, I ordered the "Shio-men and Butter Rice" without much thought, but the tall owner suggested a set menu with a plain ramen without toppings. I went along with the suggestion, and then he asked if I wanted to add Char siu to the ramen, offering either pork belly or shoulder loin. I chose the shoulder loin. The food arrived in less than 5 minutes. The ramen had a clear soup, thin curly noodles, and a large piece of shoulder loin Char siu, green onions, daikon radish, red wolfberry, and white sesame. The noodles were slightly thinner than usual and went well with the light soup. The taste was unique, with a hint of sesame flavor. The Char siu was thick and tender. The butter rice was already seasoned with a broth or soy sauce, and mixing it with butter brought back childhood memories. The light and savory chicken and seafood soup was so delicious that I almost finished it all. I noticed the words "Shioya Yujiro" on the bowl and wondered if it was a borrowed bowl from somewhere. However, when I left, I saw the words "Ramen Shoyo Tei Shioya Yujiro Sapporo Store" on the red flag. The total bill was 850 yen, with the shoulder loin Char siu costing 200 yen. I later found out that the restaurant originally operated in Kushiro and had a stint at the Sapporo Esta's "Sapporo Ramen Republic" between October 2007 and April 2008. The Sapporo branch opened on September 5, 2008, just half a year after the original opening. While there are no major similarities, Hokkaido's ramen is often referred to as the "Hokkaido Big Three Ramen" or the "Hokkaido Big Four Ramen" when including Kushiro. I have never tried Kushiro ramen before, even in Sapporo.

When it gets hot, my symptoms worsen, as I have a designated rare disease by the government. Unfortunately, there is no medication that suits me yet. If my reviews or comments suddenly stop, please assume that I have been hospitalized again, as in the past. Even if I have to take a break for the third time, I still want to return as a reviewer. Likes and comments may be delayed, but I plan to catch up once I return. [July 2020] "Ramen Shoyo-Tei" is a ramen shop that offers cold soup ramen with miso, salt, and soy sauce flavors for a limited time during the summer. I visited the shop for lunch with my usual companion. The shop is located in the basement of a building along the streetcar street of Minami 1-jo in the Odori area of ​​Sapporo's Chuo Ward. Please check the exact location of the shop on Tabelog. I visited around 11 am on a weekday. The interior of the shop is compact, with about 8 seats at the L-shaped counter. There were no previous customers, and there were two customers behind us. Of course, we sat at the counter seats. Both of us ordered the "Cold Love Miso Ramen for 800 yen." After waiting for about 7 minutes, our "Cold Love Miso Ramen" arrived. Cold Love Miso Ramen: Thin curly noodles with a slightly crunchy texture. The noodles have a good chewiness and are cooked just right. The soup base is a moderately spicy cold miso soup. The bowl is properly chilled. It is a summer-friendly spicy soup. The soup coats the noodles well. The ingredients include square-shaped chashu, menma, wakame seaweed, half a seasoned egg, and green onions. Price: 800 yen (tax included) The "Cold Love Miso Ramen" has a moderate spiciness in the cold miso soup. The thin noodles go well with the cold spicy miso soup. The moderate spiciness makes it a summer-friendly flavor. Cold soup ramen tends to have more salt or soy sauce flavors than miso. The spicy miso soup is particularly rare. Next time, I might try the "Cold Love Soy Sauce Ramen." It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

Starting the week with a sales meeting in the morning. Talking numbers makes my stomach ache. So for lunch today, I felt like having something light rather than heavy. I headed to a light ramen restaurant called "Ramen Shoyo-tei" for the first time. The place is located in the underground food court of the "President Matsui Building" along the streetcar line in the center of Sapporo city. Upon entering the restaurant, I found a cozy atmosphere with only a counter and a couple running the place. According to reviews on Tabelog, this restaurant originated in Kushiro as "Shioya Yujiro" and opened in Sapporo. They used to have a branch in "Sapporo Ramen Republic" near Sapporo Station as well. They offer a variety of menu items such as "miso" and "shoyu" ramen, as well as unique options like "miso milk ramen," "sanma ramen," and a summer limited "hiyakkoi ramen." I decided to try their signature "shio ramen." The ramen arrived promptly, topped with a large slice of chashu, kaiware, sliced menma, nori, negi, white sesame seeds, and a rare red ingredient called "wolfberry seeds." The clear and light soup had a gentle saltiness, made from chicken, bonito, and vegetable broth with a hint of salmon fish sauce for depth. The noodles were a mix of Kushiro's thin noodles and Sapporo's curly noodles, creating a unique texture. The chashu was tender and practically melted in my mouth. The wolfberry seeds added a nutritional touch to the dish. Overall, it was a light and easy-to-eat ramen, reminiscent of the style from Kushiro. It filled me up without burdening my stomach. I'm curious about trying their "miso milk ramen" next time, but I'm not brave enough yet. On a side note, the "wolfberry seeds" reminded me of the "Teto's nuts" from "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind." A random thought indeed. Bon appétit! (Visited on June 22, 2020)

The menu offers both traditional and unique dishes that are delicious. Plus, you can smoke cigarettes here.

Miso ramen ¥850 Seasoned boiled egg ¥100 ¥950 Delicious. Mild ramen. Salt seems to be recommended, so I'd like to try a little.

I visited to eat milk ramen♡ It's really delicious♡ Whenever I come to Sapporo, I will visit here♡

Answer checking for past "visited" and "images" series! Update date 2023.03.01

I checked out this ramen shop after a small move at work and was drawn in by the clarity of the salt ramen in the image. I quickly went to try it out. It was Saturday at 11:20 and there was only one other customer already eating. I was tempted by the cheap price of the plain ramen, but I believe you have to try the standard menu first before going for the plain ramen. I ordered the normal salt ramen and it arrived in about 5 minutes. The clarity was great, but the smell was a bit off-putting. The soup tasted good, but I could slightly taste the sesame oil which I'm not a fan of. The saltiness was to my liking, but I wish the noodles were a bit thicker to match the delicate soup. I like this type of soup, but the sesame oil is a drawback for me. I might try the soy sauce ramen next time, but I'm also considering going to the ramen shop with Kirita Seimen noodles in the back...
