I don't usually order miso ramen, but if I were to choose, I would go for this restaurant. I had their special red miso ramen! It had a smooth and deep flavor, just like the menu described. I also got a set with a rice bowl, and I chose the wasabi bowl. The strong and fresh wasabi made me choke a little when I ate it all at once, but it was delicious!

It's been a while since I last visited. The ordering system seems to have changed from buying tickets at the machine. I was worried the name of the restaurant had changed, but the menu still looks familiar. I came for ramen, even though the Yamaguchi Curry caught my eye. I ordered the Special Red Miso Ramen (850 yen). The noodles were golden and chewy, perfect for the rich miso soup. The toppings included a half-boiled egg, chashu, green onions, menma, and stir-fried bean sprouts that complemented the soup well. The red miso soup was incredibly flavorful, perfect for winter. Although not advertised, this place is almost like a miso ramen specialty shop with its delicious miso ramen as the main menu item.

It seems like this restaurant opened after the convenience store. It's a spacious shop with a wide entrance and parking in front and on the side. The interior is quite large for a ramen shop, maybe around 30 square meters. I ordered the B lunch set for 800 yen, which seemed like a good deal. I chose the miso flavor from soy sauce, salt, and nostalgic miso options. I also ordered the side menu item of mountain wasabi rice. The shop had around 7-8 customers during lunchtime, but it wasn't crowded given the number of seats. The food was served promptly. The nostalgic miso ramen had simple ingredients - a thin slice of char siu, menma, bean sprouts, and plenty of green onions. The noodles were medium-thick curly egg noodles. The soup was neither too strong nor too weak, with not too much lard. It was a typical nostalgic miso ramen, nothing exceptional but not something you'd get tired of eating. Adding garlic and shichimi spice on the table would probably enhance the flavor. I didn't add garlic this time due to work. The mountain wasabi rice had bonito flakes, seaweed, green onions, a small amount of mountain wasabi, and soy sauce drizzled on top. It was also just average. Next time, I might try the soy sauce ramen and mini fried rice from the B lunch set.

Today, I visited Menya Futaba! I used to come here often with my parents. Even though it was a holiday, we were able to enter the restaurant without waiting, perhaps because it was past lunchtime or due to the influence of COVID-19. We ordered the recommended Special White Miso Ramen - I got the white one and my partner got the red one. We also ordered fried rice as an extra! The fried rice was just the right size to go with the ramen and only cost 260 yen. It had a classic taste. The Special White Miso Ramen was not too heavy or too light, with a good balance of flavors that didn't leave you thirsty afterwards. It felt like there was less oil in it. The chashu was soft and delicious. If you like soft chashu, I highly recommend it! I wanted to try the red miso as well, but due to COVID, we refrained from doing so. According to my partner, the red miso ramen had a strong red miso flavor! Thank you Menya Futaba for the delicious ramen!

There was a menu that caught my attention, so I visited Menya Futaba alone and informed them of my preference. I was guided to a counter seat. The dish I tried was their signature dish, the DX Yamaguchi Curry (served with pickled salad, pork soft bone meat, and rice) priced at 1100 yen, but during the trial period until the end of April, it was discounted to 900 yen. I requested the medium spiciness, which was free of charge. I was surprised by the presentation of the curry as I had thought it would just be a typical curry dish. It arrived after 9 minutes, and a lemon was provided on the side, which you could add according to your preference. The curry seemed to be dry, almost like a spice mix without liquid. The spice level was suitable for beginners, with a good balance. The medium spiciness had a nice kick to it, but anything spicier would have made it hard for me to taste the flavors. The pickled salad, which included purple cabbage and mini tomatoes, added a nice touch of color and acidity. The pork soft bone meat was tender and flavorful, reminiscent of the taste you would find in a ramen shop. Overall, I enjoyed the curry and would consider coming back for it again. Thank you for the meal!

Today, my two colleagues who will be transferred to Sapporo in April are spending the day together. We decided to visit a restaurant that we had enjoyed before with another colleague. We ordered soy sauce ramen, but were surprised by how dark the soup was. The flavor was not as rich and deep as we had hoped. Individually, the noodles, bamboo shoots, egg, and chashu were tasty, but when combined, they didn't seem to complement each other well. Perhaps this restaurant is more known for their miso ramen? We will try ordering miso ramen next time after waiting a bit. Thank you for the meal.

Special White Miso Ramen for 850 yen. The noodles are thick and curly with a good chew, typical of Hokkaido miso ramen. The soup is sweet with white miso, not too rich. The toppings include chashu, menma, bean sprouts, and a semi-soft boiled egg. The chashu has a slight odor and is thinly sliced, lacking in volume. I prefer a sweeter, richer taste, but overall, I find it delicious. However, it lacks a distinctive feature and seems like a common flavor found in Sapporo. Next time, I'll try the red miso.

I went to Menya Futaba today! We had a big cleanup at work, so five of us went to Menya Futaba for lunch. The restaurant has a large space, so it's easy to accommodate a large group. I ordered the soy sauce ramen and remembered to use the service ticket in my wallet. The ramen was served quickly, in about 5 minutes. The soup had a rich flavor with a strong seasoning taste and a decent amount of oil. The noodles were on the softer side, which made them easy to eat quickly. I also got a free egg as a service. The toppings included bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, chashu, and green onions, all of which were delicious. The other three people ordered the oil ramen and really enjoyed it. Overall, Menya Futaba was a satisfying meal.

"Menya Futaba" I am alone in Obihiro. Lately, I haven't felt the urge to go somewhere far away without making a big deal about it. Today, I pushed myself a little and headed to Obihiro. There are only a few Kushiro ramen left, but sometimes there is a ramen that makes you go "Oh!?" But in Obihiro, there are quite a few ramen shops left, but I haven't found a ramen that I think is delicious. Of course, it's not like there weren't any good ones. I visited popular shops, so the top-ranked shops were indeed delicious. Today, I chose stability. It seems to be a popular shop. It's a shop I often pass by and see. "Futaba" There are four cars parked in front and on the side. It was a ticket machine. I thought it was soy sauce, but I'll go with salt. The reason is simple... salt is cheaper. But it seems like it's not right. Soy sauce is unusually 800 yen. If it's delicious, I have no complaints. I sit on the long side of the L-shaped counter. The short side is extremely short. There are two seats, right? There are three tables in the raised seating area. One table has six people, including a sumo wrestler-like woman as the representative. Why is it that women with a strong build also have loud voices? Children are not reserved, dads are quiet, it's a typical family, isn't it? There are three tables in the box seats. The salt ramen was ready in 3 minutes. It was quick. And it's sesame oil. You can tell right away that they're trying to cover it up with sesame oil. The noodles are thinner than Sapporo's, right? It's delicious. But it's Menya, so I thought there would be some unique feature. The menma is flavored strongly with pepper. I don't like this... it's not menma, it's tonma. It's just a joke. Maybe the bean sprouts are blanched? They're not grilled, right? They're boiled, right? It's a bit sarcastic. The green onions. The chashu. The smell is just about okay. I finished everything. It's thin, so it's delicious. The soup. A sense of lack from the beginning. Weak dashi flavor. I thought about adding garlic, but if I add garlic to this, it will be even worse. The soup is lacking. They're trying to cover up the lack of soup with sesame oil. Before covering it up with sesame oil, I think there are things they should do. It's not for me... the soup. I'm careful about how I write it. If they make a good ginger ramen, I won't complain. If they make a good sesame oil ramen, I won't complain. It's all about the base ramen being well-made. It's crowded. More customers keep coming. I just can't find a ramen shop that I really like in Obihiro. I might as well stop eating ramen in Obihiro. I can already hear someone saying, "That's right, don't come back." I thought about how they can charge 750 yen for this ramen. It was a ramen that made me think 600 yen = 750 yen.

I ordered the special white miso and braised pork belly bowl from Obihiro Menjo Futaba (*´∀｀). The white miso is rich but not too heavy, it has a lingering taste. The noodles are my favorite medium-thick curly egg noodles, just the best (*^^*). The braised pork belly bowl is so tender and delicious, dangerously good, I don't care if I get greasy again (´・c_・`) Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m.

Returning to Sapporo around 9 pm, many shops are closing at this time, but I was happy to find a place that allows entry even after 10 pm. I purchased the spicy miso ramen for 850 yen from the ticket machine and was shown to my seat by a staff member. Despite the late hour, there were still 4 groups of customers. The location is convenient and easy to find. The spicy miso ramen arrived quickly and it was exactly what I was craving - the level of spiciness was just right and the medium-thick curly noodles were perfect. The ramen at this time of night can be risky, but this one hit the spot!

At a certain curry shop and a certain ramen shop, I tried to order a "double extra-large" portion, but was told it was not possible. They will be switching to a ticket vending machine system starting in December, so I'm not sure if the machine will have a separate button for extra-large portions or if it will just show regular and extra-large options for each ramen. I didn't check, but if there is a separate button for extra-large portions, would I be able to order two extra-large portions by pressing it twice?

I went to Menya Futaba for lunch! This ramen shop is open all day, so it's very convenient for late visits. The place was about 80% full and had a lively atmosphere. The shop is located in a Lawson building with a large sign. There are over 10 seats at the counter. Today, I tried the Special White Miso Ramen for 830 yen. It's a bit pricey. Despite being busy, the ramen was ready in about 5-6 minutes. The white miso flavor was strong and salty, but delicious. It had a classic taste that many people would enjoy. The medium-thick curly noodles were a perfect match for the miso broth. Overall, it was well-balanced. Sometimes the soup can be a bit lukewarm, but today it was fine. They also have a new lunch set available. Thanks Menya Futaba for the meal!

Today, the shop I was looking forward to was open, so I went to Ramen Futaba. I ordered the lunch set with special white miso ramen and half fried rice for 880 yen, with an additional topping of braised pork for 150 yen. The food was served promptly, and the noodles were slightly yellow and medium thickness with a good texture. The bean sprouts were carefully prepared, and the chashu was tender. The soup had a strong miso flavor, which may appeal to miso lovers. The mini fried rice was light and tasty. Overall, everything was prepared with care and delicious. Thank you for the meal!

The soup was rich and sweet, and the yellow medium-thick curly noodles were delicious.
