Located in the shutter-filled Nakamachi shopping street in the Oomae area of Ebetsu City, this restaurant is run by an experienced couple who transform the place into a drinking spot at night and a dining hall during the day. For the exact location, please refer to the first review. They even offer complimentary coffee with your meal.

I visited this restaurant in the neighborhood while on a work errand after a long time. This place serves as a snack bar at night, but during the day it offers lunch as well. It may seem strange that a snack bar serves lunch, but all the dishes are delicious and reasonably priced, making it wallet-friendly. After the meal, they also serve coffee, so you can relax and enjoy a cafe-like atmosphere. I think it's worth stopping by if you happen to be in this area for any reason.

I found out about soup curry and decided to try it for lunch. When I opened the door, it felt more like a snack bar. The restaurant was quite spacious with a mix of counter and table seating, and it was crowded with mostly senior customers. The lunch menu was decent, offering a variety of options from meat dishes to fish set meals. Although it's not a specialty shop, the soup curry was surprisingly delicious. Coffee was also included, and the service was good. I enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere, and I look forward to trying a different dish next time.

[Completely smoke-free now?] In the shopping street in Nakamachi, where many shutters have been put up in the Asahikawa area of Ebetsu City, there is a restaurant run by an experienced couple who serve as a bar at night and a dining hall during the day. Please refer to the first review for the location of the restaurant. They also offer coffee as a service to diners. [Visit on March 1, 2019, 11:30 am] I went for a little pseudo-cycling since it's starting to feel a bit like spring. This was my first visit since last spring. As soon as I entered the restaurant, I was greeted with a warm "long time no see". It's nice to be remembered, including by regulars (・ω・). When I sat at the counter, coffee was served immediately. This was followed by some karinto snacks. Even though I hadn't ordered yet, I was chatting with someone and found out that the spiciness level for the soup curry has been increased beyond level 10. Apparently, a new handsome regular customer had successfully handled level 11 spiciness, which was greatly appreciated. However, since the master is not good with extremely spicy food, it's probably best to avoid going too high in spiciness. After some contemplation, I ordered the Spicy Curry for 1050 yen at level 12 spiciness. The master coughed from the kitchen, and a rich spice aroma filled the air. It took about 10 minutes until it was served. The dry basil had a nice aroma. When I took a bite, it was a nostalgic and beloved taste that I hadn't had in a year. It was much spicier than level 10, but the soup wasn't too thick, and the heat of the chili pepper didn't overpower the other various spices. The taste and aroma of the spices were perfectly balanced, and the Japanese chef who can finish off the spices so skillfully is probably unmatched. It was even better than any curry made by a chef from the original country. Moreover, the richness of level 12 spiciness was just right for me, a spicy food lover (・∀・). Among all the extremely spicy soups I've had, this is the most delicious one made by a Japanese chef. By the way, the regular customers who came later were all non-smokers, and there were no ashtrays? I wonder if they have become smoke-free even just for lunch? As I finished eating and was about to pay, I received another cup of coffee ♬ I'll definitely come back to eat again (・ω・).

There is a quiet soup curry restaurant in Nakamachi Shopping Street. It is run by a friendly couple, and the owner is very friendly and welcoming. The soup curry has a rich flavor and is very enjoyable. They offer spiciness levels up to a maximum of 10. This is a must-visit place whenever I'm in the area!

Located in the Oma area of Ebetsu City, there is a shop in the Naka-machi shopping street that has many shutters. It is a place where you can enjoy drinks at night and meals during the day. For the location of the shop, please refer to the first review. April 26, 2017, 1:00 PM, revisited. This is one of my favorite soup curry shops, Kanon, which is extremely spicy and incredibly delicious. Even though I order the maximum level of spiciness, level 10, it feels just right for me. It only takes me about 12 minutes to ride my bike from home, covering a distance of 4.5km with an average speed of 22.2km/h and a maximum speed of 53.1km/h. Despite being a customer who only visits 2-3 times a year, the staff and regular customers remember me, which makes me happy. They are always surprised when I order level 10 every time, which is a fun tradition. Looking forward to another great year with everyone. I ordered the usual soup curry for 1050 yen, level 10 spiciness, with no additional charge. They also served complimentary water and hot coffee during lunchtime. The food arrived promptly, and I enjoyed the cozy atmosphere while listening to everyone's conversations. The soup curry here is delicious, with a rich and flavorful soup base, a unique blend of spices with a strong aroma of cumin and cardamom, and a kick of spiciness that comes later. The ingredients are tasty, and the overall quality of the dish always leaves me satisfied.

The restaurant is located in the middle of Nakamachi Shopping Street. It is more towards the opposite direction of the Oasa Public Hall. When I went to Nakamachi Shopping Street with my friends to eat yakitori, I was curious about the fact that even though it is a liquor store, they have soup curry on the menu. It's a snack bar, but the food menu sign is displayed in a way that passersby can see it from outside. As the night grew late, I felt a bit peckish and decided to visit. Inside the shop, I could hear the lively voices of the customers. The door was open, so I peeked inside and saw three customers at the counter holding glasses. Should I go in? E-excuse me... Then a lady, perhaps the owner, appeared. "Are you here for a meal?" she greeted me warmly. In front of me, people were drinking noisily and talking about putting bottles in or something. And here I was, just a food customer with no interest in alcohol... At first, the atmosphere was a bit uncomfortable, but as I waited reading a novel on my phone, I gradually got used to it. The soup curry had only one menu item with no options for spiciness or ingredients, just "Soup Curry." Various food menu signs were displayed above the bar counter. It made me want to try various dishes. It turns out they also serve Japanese cuisine. In about 10 minutes, the soup curry was served. The curry was in a deep bowl-like container. It came with rice, salad, and a bit of pickles, although the pickles are hidden in the image. Later, the lady brought me a large glass of oolong tea as a service. How nice! The curry was quite spicy. Besides the usual whole spices, it also had a taste of black pepper... A unique use of spices, I must say. And a unique atmosphere (laughs). At the counter, people were excitedly discussing Cognac, and then a flashy-dressed lady, like a junior hostess, came in for a Cognac tasting... Truly, this is a snack bar! (laughs) But back to the food... (laughs) Inside, there was a small chicken leg. The meat fibers were so tender that they crumbled easily. And there were plenty of large vegetables! The soup curry had a rich flavor, just right with the rice. Yum, it's delicious! The rice disappeared quickly! The spiciness gradually seeped in, giving a lingering heat, which might be too strong for those who are not fond of spicy food. The base is already spicy. Well, for me, the spiciness was just right. The curry portion was more generous than it looked, quite a substantial amount. According to the owner, the standard spiciness is this level, and while they can't make it milder, they can make it spicier. Some customers even eat it at double or ten times the spiciness... Wow, impressive! I just want to enjoy the taste, so this level is fine for me. After leisurely and quietly enjoying the meal, the master and the lady chatted amiably with me. They treat each customer with care, and that warmth was felt. After the meal, I immediately contacted my friends nearby and shared about Kanon's soup curry at the cafe. We are planning to go together next time. Looking forward to the next visit... Thank you for the meal!

Lunchtime visit. Papa forgot to report... _(._.)_ On this day, I accompanied Papa to the liquor store as he went to buy sake. My target was soba. Yes! Here. But when we arrived, there was already a long line... Papa said, "What should we do, TOMO-P?" Hmm... let's explore a new place! When Papa looked on his tablet, he found a place with ramen and hamburger. Papa said, "TOMO-P, it's not a family restaurant, but they have a variety of menu items. What do you think?" Let's go! Decision made. The restaurant wasn't too far, located in a quiet residential area with the name "shopping street" in it... Papa, is this really it? "It'll be fine. Some of TOMO-P's followers have been here!" That's right. We parked the car in what seemed like a parking lot of a former large store nearby and walked towards the restaurant. Papa said, "TOMO-P, it looks like this is the place." Is that so. In front of the restaurant, there were two dogs not moving. Cute, but not moving... Inside, there were counter seats and table seats, and according to Papa, it looked like a nighttime restaurant. There were two families of four as the previous customers. They seemed to have ordered ramen. Now, Papa, what will you have? "Hmm, I asked at the liquor store, but they recommended the soup curry here in this area." Is that so. But it's spicy, right? Is there anything else? "Hmm... soba, and..." Soba! "That's an instant decision! You really wanted soba, huh." Yes! Papa said, "Let's go with that! But the curry soba is spicy, so how about just meat and... oh, it's just the archenemy. The only other option is plain soba, but... what do you think?" Definitely "plain soba"! Papa, you'll have the soup curry, right? "The set menu also looks interesting, but yes, let's try the soup curry." And so, it was decided. While waiting, coffee was served. I can't drink it, so I gave it to Papa as a gift. I waited patiently. Soon, my "plain soba" was brought to the table. The kind staff prepared a small bowl and a fork for me, and let's go! Papa, please (^^) Papa picked up some soba with chopsticks and said, "TOMO-P, this is quite a lot! Can you handle it?" Okay (^_^)V The soba was a light brown color and slightly flat, so no problem. Now, the slurping strategy begins! Delicious! The broth isn't too spicy! I keep eating eagerly (^^) At some point, Papa's soup curry also arrived. Both dishes came with salad and pickles, so it was quite a filling meal. Papa tried a bite of the curry. How is it? "Well, it's a soup, but it has a slight stickiness, so it's like a light Indian curry. The spiciness is just right, and the flavor is good." I see. "The ingredients are the usual eggplant and pumpkin. And the chicken has a nice tenderness. Want to try the pumpkin?" Yes! (^_^)V Papa cut a piece for me, and when I tried it... it's spicy! ( ・_・;) It's spicy, so I'm done. I still have an adult taste. But that white beard-like thing is intriguing! I hesitantly asked Papa. What is this, Papa? "That's a good question. But the conclusion is, it's a mystery." I see. I still have a lot of soba left! I'll do my best. With Papa's support, I'm busy eating. At one point, Papa tried to remove the chicken from the bone, and said, "This chicken is just a step away from falling off the bone. It has a nice chewiness that's really delicious! How is it?" Let me try a little... Papa sprinkled some chicken on the rice to avoid the spiciness. Delicious! But still a bit spicy! Papa said, "This is quite good. The rice portion is sufficient, and the sourness in the aftertaste is pleasant. It's a bit different from the chain restaurant's soup curry." It seems that even though Papa is somewhat critical of the anything-goes nature of soup curry, this place is different. "Oops, the soba is all gone." It's okay, there's salad left! I ended up finishing all the soba without leaving any. The staff complimented me on enjoying the vegetables (^_^)V because the vegetables are delicious. Papa, it was delicious. Let's come back again (^^) Papa said, "Let's report back to Mama." Yes!

Located in the Nakamachi Shotengai shopping street in Omari, Ebetsu City, this restaurant is run by a couple who opened it around two years ago. The exterior and interior atmosphere is cozy, with a variety of snack menu items and izakaya-style dishes available. They also offer bottle keep service. The location is near the intersection of 2nd Street and Oma Minami 15-chome Street, a 7-8 minute walk from JR Oma Station. The reviewer visited the restaurant in April 2016 and enjoyed a very spicy soup curry with a rich and flavorful broth, crispy chicken leg, and a mix of vegetables. The reviewer found the spice level to be very high but satisfying. The restaurant has a counter seating area that is usually filled with regular customers. In a subsequent visit in April 2015, the reviewer tried a new, even spicier version of the soup curry and found it to be delicious. The meal was complemented with a side of salted squid, which was very spicy. Overall, the reviewer highly recommends this restaurant for its flavorful and spicy soup curry.

I had some errands to run in Ebetsu, so I decided to have lunch here as well. The restaurant was easy to find with all the banners visible from the main street, but the building itself didn't look like a typical restaurant, more like a prefab structure. The parking lot seemed to be on the other side, so I followed the signs and found a shared parking lot for the shopping street. Walking down the street, I found a restaurant called "Kanon". Inside, it looked more like a snack bar with a counter and a few table seats. The lady serving us mentioned that they had been operating for 20 years, and it felt like a snack bar indeed. When I mentioned that I had heard they serve soup curry here, she confirmed it and explained that they don't have different levels of spiciness, just one standard level which is already quite spicy. Many regular customers seemed to enjoy the social atmosphere, and the menu was extensive, making it a popular spot for meals as well. The soup curry I tried was rich and creamy, not too sweet, and surprisingly delicious despite my initial hesitation. It had a mild spiciness that gradually built up, making me want to try a spicier version next time. Overall, it was a unique and enjoyable curry experience that I would like to revisit for a different spice level.

April 1, 2015, Sunny. April Fools. I visited this restaurant based on information from MyReviewer. I went there when it first opened. The interior of the restaurant has a counter, table seats, and a cafe-like atmosphere. Of course, I ordered the soup curry, but I hesitated on how to order the spiciness level. Eventually, I decided to ask for it to be very spicy since I love spicy food. The staff mentioned that a man who loves very spicy food had recently eaten there and said it was still not spicy enough, so they prepared various levels of spiciness and could make it extremely spicy for me. I felt a bit anxious thinking about how spicy it might be if I couldn't handle it. The owner, a friendly lady, chatted with me, but I unintentionally gave off a vibe of not wanting to engage in conversation. I received complimentary lunch service and coffee. The owner noticed I was feeling cold and turned on the stove for me. When the soup curry was ready, she warned me that it was very spicy. I assured her that it was delicious, even though it was quite spicy. The owner's husband also came out and asked if I was okay with the spiciness. The soup curry was indeed very tasty with a stimulating level of spiciness. It seemed to have spices and grated vegetables, making it an authentic and delicious soup curry. There were fried spring rolls in the soup, which I enjoyed dipping in the soup and eating like pasta. The dish was filled with vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, broccoli, eggplant, and pumpkin, along with fried chicken and fried eggs. The soup was plentiful, and the turmeric rice was fluffy and generous. I forgot to ask for less rice this time, so there was a lot of rice on my plate. The meal also came with salad, pickles, and almond jelly for dessert. By the time I finished the soup curry, I had only half of the rice left, but I couldn't resist the pickles, especially the shredded ginger, which added a nice touch to the meal. I declined the offer for coffee after the meal. It was a very cozy and lovely restaurant. The owner asked if I had seen their website, and I confirmed that I had. She mentioned that another customer had taken photos like I did, and I was surprised that she had noticed me taking pictures without me realizing it. The soup curry was very delicious, and the restaurant was fantastic. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This is a difficult place to describe, so please check the map on Tabelog for details. As you drive along the main street 2nd Avenue in Ombetsu City, you will notice a keenly sensitive flag recognition system reacting to the ramen flags. Despite not expecting to find a ramen shop around here, I became curious and decided to investigate further. I quickly found the shop and went inside to check the menu posted on the window. Surprisingly, there was no ramen listed. However, I didn't want to leave empty-handed, so I took a chance and entered the shop. The interior resembled a rundown snack bar, and there was a group of elderly people from the local community having a party. I sat at the counter and ordered the salt ramen from the mama. Suddenly, the mama said, "Coffee is complimentary for lunch," and brought out coffee before the meal. After 7-8 minutes, the ramen arrived, accompanied by salad, dessert, and pickles. I started by tasting the soup, which had a light flavor without much dashi taste. The noodles were thin, pale, wavy, and suited the soup well. As for the toppings, there was braised pork, bamboo shoots, naruto, spinach, wheat gluten, dried seaweed, half a boiled egg, green onions, and a traditional selection of ingredients. When I spoke to the mama later, she mentioned that they used to run a snack bar a few years ago but had recently renovated and reopened as a dining establishment due to the owner's love for cooking.
