Arrived right at the opening on Sunday at 11:30 am. The first in line, with one more group arriving later. It's my fourth visit in 8 months. Sapporo is still hot... so I came seeking cold ramen. There was one staff in the dining area, and I could hear two voices from the kitchen. Despite the current situation, the prices have remained the same since my last visit, which is truly commendable. I purchased the summer limited edition "Chilled Tofu Tsukemen" (990 yen) from the ticket machine this time. I chose white rice over barley rice. It arrived shortly after. The soup had a rich chicken broth flavor unique to this shop, with a perfect balance of the mellow taste of tofu. The noodles were 1.5 servings and had a nice firmness. There was shredded red chili on top. The toppings included green onions, 2 meatballs, half a soft-boiled egg, and Chinese chives. In the second half, I added 4 scoops of chili oil to the soup. The spicy kick complemented the dish well! While Twitter recommended pouring the soup over the rice, I preferred dipping the rice into the soup. It was delicious! Even after finishing the rice, there was still soup left. Since the soup was quite rich, I mixed in some cold water and finished it all! I was very satisfied with the delicious taste. I will definitely come back again! If you're interested, hurry as it's only available until the end of this month!

I had the daytime special ramen set with soy sauce ramen and chicken rice. The chicken rice was just as I imagined. The soy sauce ramen, however, was different from what I expected in terms of both the soup and the meatballs, but it was delicious. Next time, I'll try the miso or salt flavor.

I've been curious about this ramen shop for a while. They have a system where you can choose a flavored oil to add to your ramen order. In my personal opinion, the ramen tasted good, especially after finishing the broth. However, afterwards, I got really thirsty... I wonder why? Could it be related to the oil? I'll try going for lunch next time instead of after drinking.

[Menu] Soy Sauce Flavored Ramen with Flavor-changing Oil (Porcini Mushroom x Ginger) [Impression/Features] This ramen features soup made with Shiretoko chicken and meatballs. The soy sauce soup is on the sweeter side. When you add the oil, the aroma of porcini mushrooms transfers to the soup, making it even more delicious. There wasn't much of a ginger flavor. It was disappointing that the noodles were clumped together. The soup was tasty, so I might want to try the salt flavor next time.

I ordered miso ramen with rice, and requested extra oil with macadamia and mango flavor. The taste was just right, I prefer a rich flavor. I don't remember what I ordered when I was hungover, but it was delicious. This time, the regular order felt a bit lacking, so I will ask if they can make it more flavorful next time. The attitude of the staff was neither good nor bad. The appearance of the restaurant, both outside and inside, was decent for a ramen shop. I couldn't find the parking lot, I only went there when I was going to the car dealership. I will definitely go back, but I will confirm if they can make it more flavorful next time.

Last month, I enjoyed the salt ramen, so this time I tried the miso ramen from the top menu of the ticket machine. I heard in a news video that "miso with burnt butter + strawberry oil is recommended," so I decided to try it. There are dishes like miso butter ramen out there, so burnt butter might work. But how does it blend with strawberry? The miso soup with chicken broth was delicious. The noodles were chewy and quite filling. Now, I will drizzle a little oil on the soup scooped up with a ladle. "Rich~~~!" It's richer than the butter in miso butter ramen. It has a sweet buttery taste, is that because of the strawberry? The flavor intensifies, or rather, the uniqueness stands out. There were a lot of stylish young customers. They would easily enjoy this sweet and rich buttery flavor. It was a bit too rich of a combination for someone in their middle age. I prefer something refreshing with ginger at my age.

I heard that there is a ramen shop near Shiraishi Station with delicious chicken broth, so I decided to visit. It seems to be a shop run by a yakitori restaurant, so I am looking forward to trying the chicken ramen. It took about 5 minutes to walk from the station to the shop, and I found it in a residential area. When I peeked inside, there were no other customers. Since it was cold, I entered the shop. The interior had many table seats, and it seemed like a nice atmosphere even for families. This time, I ordered the salt ramen. By the way, when I sat down, I had to choose a special oil. Since I wasn't sure, I asked the staff for a recommendation. After a while, the ramen arrived, and it had a lot of tsukune (chicken meatballs). I was happy that it already had a seasoned egg in it. I added a few extra toppings with a coupon. First, I tried the soup which was salty but had a rich and delicious flavor with a strong chicken taste. It was a soup to savor slowly. The noodles were medium-thin and cooked al dente. They didn't seem to absorb much of the soup. The toppings included tsukune, menma (bamboo shoots), nori, and a seasoned egg. The chicken tsukune had a rich flavor and a good texture. As expected, it was delicious. The menma was thin and had a good crunch. The seasoned egg was lightly flavored and soft. I tried mixing in the apple oil halfway through, and the taste changed significantly, which was interesting. The tsukune was really delicious as expected. I noticed that the miso ramen also seemed to be delicious when looking at the ticket machine. I would like to try the miso ramen next time. Thank you for the meal.

Yesterday, when I ordered salt flavor at a different restaurant, soy sauce flavor came out instead. It was delicious, but I really wanted the salt flavor. So today, I'm looking forward to trying the flavor-changing oil at Chicken Crest. I had the lunch special with salt and tsukune mayo don. I'm going to enjoy the sparkling chicken salt soup. The chicken broth is rich, and the saltiness is spot on - delicious! This would definitely hit the spot for a hangover lunch. I also like the taste of whole grain noodles. The flavor-changing oil is truffle. I don't pour it on everything because it would overpower the original salt flavor. Instead, I scoop some soup with a ladle and sprinkle a little bit of oil on top. The truffle oil envelops everything and the result is naturally delicious. I even tried drizzling it over rice. I couldn't really taste the apple flavor, though. I was curious about the chicken and tsukune, being a Chashu Ramen lover, so I decided to go to a nearby restaurant that I often visit.

Arrived at the restaurant right after it opened on Sunday at 11:30 am. There was one group of customers already there, followed by two more groups and one individual. This was my third visit in a little over a year. There were two staff members in the dining area and probably one in the kitchen. The background music was recent Western music. The ramen prices had recently been increased by 50 yen, which is understandable given the current situation. I purchased the "Miso" ramen for 930 yen from the ticket machine this time. It arrived shortly after. When asked by the staff, I requested the "Garlic Oil" for flavor enhancement, which was not available during my previous visit. The soup was still fragrant, like it had been cooked over charcoal, but the miso flavor was noticeably lighter this time. The slight lightness allowed the fragrant taste to stand out more, which was acceptable. The slightly thin curly noodles were cooked just right, with a firm texture. The three meatballs served instead of chashu were delicious as always. Adding the garlic oil halfway through gave it an extra kick! Overall, I was satisfied with the delicious taste once again. However, I preferred the previous miso flavor. I have to lower the rating for "dish/taste" as it felt like I was eating salt ramen. So, next time, I will try the "Salt" flavor (laughs).

I had miso ramen and mixed rice at this place. The miso soup was light yet flavorful and had a good depth of taste. The noodles were delicious, perfectly coating in the soup. The chicken meatball instead of the usual chashu was a nice twist. I also liked the fancy flavored oil for changing up the taste. The mixed rice was tasty with a soy sauce flavor and a rich dashi taste. It paired really well with the ramen soup. The chic and stylish atmosphere of the cafe and the friendly service from the female staff were also great.

This was a restaurant that I was very curious about, even though I hadn't visited it before. The interior had a calm cafe-like atmosphere with BOSE speakers playing Western music. I ordered at the ticket machine and chose soy sauce for my ramen. The staff didn't mention the option to customize the flavor with chili oil, so it's best to inform them when ordering. The lunch set I ordered included a half boiled egg and the option to add porcini mushrooms and ginger for free. The soup was a bit on the salty side but had a strong and flavorful taste, similar to instant ramen. The noodles were curly egg noodles with whole wheat, but they were slightly clumped together and lacked the whole wheat flavor. The chicken meatballs were well seasoned and tasty. The bamboo shoots were seasoned with chicken broth, and the seasoned egg was soft and delicious. The green onions provided were spicy. The minced chicken mayo bowl was moist and flavorful, with a good sense of seasoning. The porcini mushrooms and ginger, however, were unnecessary for the soy sauce ramen. Overall, the restaurant had some room for improvement but had the potential to attract regular customers with its delicious food.

This is a ramen shop in Higashi-ku, Sapporo. It was my first visit. I ordered the miso ramen and asked for garlic in the service's flavor-changing oil. The soup had some small bits on the surface that looked like lard, but I wonder if it's actually from Shiretoko chicken instead of pork lard. The soup wasn't too rich, but had a delicious depth of flavor. The miso sauce was smooth and slightly sweet, with a hint of red miso. The toppings included lightly sautéed bean sprouts and onions, plenty of bamboo shoots and green onions, and subtly seasoned meatballs that paired well with the miso soup. I actually preferred this over having chashu on top. The noodles were similar in appearance to Sapporo noodles but slightly thinner, with a firm texture and not too aged, making it enjoyable even for someone like me who isn't a fan of Sapporo noodles. The garlic in the flavor-changing oil seemed to be olive oil-based, which wasn't really to my liking. Overall, it was a quite tasty miso ramen, but the deep bowl and small lotus flower made it a bit difficult to eat. Nevertheless, I would like to come back to this ramen shop again. Thank you for the meal~ (^_^)

Visited the restaurant with my family of 3 on a Sunday afternoon. We had informed them about the baby when making a reservation, so we were smoothly seated at a table. They had prepared a baby chair in advance. We purchased beer, miso ramen, salt ramen, and a mini tsukune rice bowl from the ticket machine near the entrance. We handed the food tickets to one of the staff members and sat down. The team consisted of a girl, a woman, and a chef, a solid and unwavering team. We enjoyed the mini tsukune rice bowl first, which went well with the beer. The tsukune in the rice bowl was cooked in a sweet sauce, adding flavor to the dish. The egg yolk in the center, along with white sesame seeds, seaweed, chopped green onions, and a little sauce, complemented the white rice. However, the green onions were too thick and not well balanced with the other ingredients. The salt ramen had 3 tsukune balls, bamboo shoots, half-boiled egg, 1/8 seaweed, and chopped green onions. The presentation seemed a bit lacking, with the soup appearing to be on the lighter side. The noodles were firm and long, but slightly too hard. The soup had a strong flavor of chicken broth and was a bit too salty. It didn't quite hit the spot for us. The miso ramen also had 3 tsukune balls, bamboo shoots, half-boiled egg, 1/8 seaweed, chopped green onions, stir-fried vegetables with onions, bean sprouts, and shredded red chili pepper. The soup had a strong taste of lard and garlic, a powerful opening punch. There was a slight smoky smell, which was intriguing. Like the salt ramen, the noodles were too firm and didn't quite blend well with the soup. The bamboo shoots were tender but seemed different from what we expected. Some improvements could be made, such as reducing the amount of green onions in the tsukune rice bowl, adjusting the soup quantity and saltiness in the salt ramen, removing the unnecessary shredded red chili pepper in the miso ramen, and improving the texture of the bamboo shoots. Despite some minor inconsistencies, this ramen shop has the potential to attract more fans if they address these small issues. I wonder what happened to the flavored oil they were promoting? Without it, they might not receive the recognition they were aiming for.

"Cycling on the Shiraishi Kokorodo cycling course, which was created from the abandoned JR Chitose Line. With a total length of 18.5 kilometers, it offers a unique scale that is characteristic of Hokkaido. During the cycling trip, I stopped for lunch at CHICKENCREST near Shiraishi Station, known for their Shiretoko chicken ramen. They offer a lunch set with a mini rice bowl, which is a great deal. The ramen comes in three flavors: soy sauce, salt, and miso. I opted for the salt ramen with tsukune mayo don. Instead of chashu, the dish comes with three large tsukune meatballs. The tsukune don was surprisingly filling, and the combination of mayonnaise and rice was quite indulgent. Since I was cycling and burning calories, I didn't mind the indulgence. The restaurant offers various flavored oils for seasoning the soup, and I tried the porcini and ginger oil, which added a nice touch to the soup. Overall, the ramen and rice bowl combo left me satisfied. Now, back to cycling to burn off those calories."

The store was supposed to specialize in chicken, but I didn't really feel the chicken presence. They had 6 different flavor oils for dipping, which was impressive, but I wasn't sure which one to choose. It was tasty, but I'm not sure if I would go back again.

After a long time, I found a hit restaurant. While shopping with a friend, we happened to come across it. The parking lot has space for two small cars next to the store, and a few more spaces next to that. The size of the store is sufficient for its purpose. The interior of the store has a stylish cafe-like atmosphere. You purchase your meal tickets from a machine. Everything on the menu looked delicious, but I decided to go with the safe choice of miso flavor. It took about 10 minutes for the food to arrive. Grated ginger is also provided (although it's the commercial kind, I would have preferred freshly grated ginger). But, regardless, the food was delicious. As advertised, the noodles were incredibly tasty, unlike anything I've had before! It's rare for noodles to be so enjoyable! And the soup, too, had a refined taste with nothing to complain about. I kept drinking it eagerly until it was gone. The tsukune (chicken meatball) that came instead of chashu was also delicious. It was a wonderful ramen where various elements harmonized perfectly. There were different flavored oils for you to customize the taste, but even without them, the ramen was delicious. I found a ramen that I enjoyed so much that I finished the entire bowl of soup, a rare occurrence for me! This is definitely a restaurant I will visit again.

This is Chicken Crest in Sapporo, serving Shiretoko chicken ramen. I've been coming here quite often recently, but this will be the last time. I was busy preparing for an event in the morning and ended up going out for lunch right in the middle of the day. The popular restaurant had a long line, but it was raining heavily so I gave up and went to a different place, Chicken Crest, the second choice. I'm sorry, my wife is the one who chooses the restaurant. The three of us ordered miso, salt, and soy sauce ramen, each costing 880 yen. I'm getting used to it, but it's still expensive. They recommend changing the taste halfway through the meal. Two of my companions are reacting strongly to the suggestion. "Don't put weird stuff in it, the flavor will be ruined!" I can't even say that. If you put something weird in it, I will definitely not exchange it. There is a wall between the counter and the table seats, so we can't see the kitchen. The BGM is rap music. There are two young women on the floor. The kitchen is not visible. After us, there is a waiting area. A tough-looking man appears from the kitchen. My companions are already planning to change the taste. My wife's soy sauce ramen arrived, so I quickly eat it before she does. Oh, the soy sauce ramen tastes like ginger. Why is ginger so prominent in this? Does the soup lack confidence? The miso ramen doesn't have a strong miso flavor. It's all about the ginger. This ramen is not for me. The noodles are like rubber. The soy sauce ginger should be served separately. The soy sauce doesn't stand out. It's good to have a complex taste, but the ginger is just too much. If you make a slight mistake, it will feel like "extreme ramen" from Maruchan. The chicken meatballs are not good. They still have a lingering smell. The taste is just okay, nothing special. The negi (green onion) is too exposed. The bowl is deep and hard to eat from. The half-cooked egg is good. The salt ramen is the main event. The ramen is delicious even without the salt. The seaweed is firm and tasty, and the chicken meatballs are a no-go. I can't taste the Shiretoko chicken at all. The bottom of the bowl is filled with short noodles. Both the salt and soy sauce ramen end up feeling like "extreme ramen." I'm sorry, but the ginger is a no-go. The aftertaste is terrible. My wife says it was delicious and rates it a 3.5, but I won't give in today. Please advertise it as "ginger ramen."

The oil topping looks interesting - visited. Flavor changing is popular now, right? Various fields are experiencing flavor changes. I wonder what kind of ramen it will turn out to be - very curious! A small shop. The staff are energetic - it feels good! After some hesitation in front of the ticket machine, the next customer arrives. I need to decide quickly. Nervous... The manager's recommended order is Soy Sauce Ramen for 850 yen, with chicken broth and chicken meatballs. The meatballs are very delicious! The ramen has a light chicken soy sauce flavor, but the addition of back fat gives it a rich taste. The oil toppings include 6 types: Avocado x Pineapple, Macadamia x Mango, Porcini x Ginger, Truffle x Apple, Coconut x Orange, Burnt Butter x Strawberry - only one is allowed. For the soy sauce ramen, the recommended topping is Porcini x Ginger. Since it is dried fruit, the ginger becomes dry and slightly sweet. It is added to the bowl! The scent of Porcini is noticeable. Mix the dried ginger with the noodles and enjoy. It wasn't as much of a flavor change as I expected, but on the contrary, the big flavor change didn't happen, so I'm happy about that. I want to try various oils with miso and salt ramen. Such a wonderful idea! When slurping the soy sauce ramen, I faintly smelled the soy sauce from the bagged ramen (laughs). It's nostalgic. Thank you for the meal!

In January 2022, a new ramen restaurant called "Takatoshi Land" appeared in Choinakajotei, Nango-dori, Chuo-Teine, known for its yakitori. It seems to be crowded during the day, but easy to get in at night. You can purchase meal tickets from the vending machine and order. If you like salt-based ramen, you can go for it, but if you like spicy, you might hesitate. The clear soup is very refreshing with a rich chicken flavor. You can choose to add flavored oil, and the "Porcini and ginger" option is recommended. The whole grain noodles have a nice texture. The chicken meatballs in the soup with plenty of green onions are a nice touch. As a special Instagram follower bonus, they offer free cooked rice, but it was a bit dry. Overall, it was a delicious meal.

Entered the restaurant during a weekday blizzard at 12:30. The parking lot next to the restaurant had space for 5 cars, with 2 designated for compact cars. Upon entering, I purchased a food ticket first. The seating area consisted of a counter with 7 seats and 2 tables. It was almost full, but luckily a person finished their meal and I was directed to a seat after disinfection. In front of me, there were numerous jars of dried fruits, creating an unexpected atmosphere for a ramen shop. The staff, consisting of 2 people, seemed friendly. While waiting, I noticed that the person next to me was asked about rice when they ordered "miso". Could this be a lunch set? I felt like I might have missed out on something, as I didn't know the price. The pressure to quickly decide on a food ticket type started to build up. Next time, I should take my time to carefully choose. After about 7 minutes of feeling restless, my ramen arrived. The presentation was beautiful, and there was a hidden Mickey instead of chashu. I took a sip of the soup first. Delicious! The flavor was enhanced by the power of the meatball. The broth was flavorful, with a subtle sweetness that surpassed the saltiness. I couldn't help but drink it without fear of burning my tongue. The meatball, although slightly overshadowed by the broth, was tasty. The noodles were thick and cooked perfectly, intertwining with the broth. I really liked them. Oh, when the ramen arrived, I was informed that "flavor-changing oil is a complimentary service," so I looked at the recommended oils while eating. There were oils like strawberry and mango, which seemed unbelievable, but being a first-timer, I played it safe and chose "mushroom and ginger." Halfway through the noodles, I placed an order and took another bite!... and at that moment, I saw something in the top right corner of my vision. Oh, grated ginger! The ginger was also hidden (it was perfectly captured in the photo I later saw). Today, my field of vision seemed narrow. I added all the grated ginger and took a sip of the soup. Ah, delicious! It warmed me up. Right after that, the mushroom and ginger arrived. ... Mistake! I realized I added the grated ginger too late, and I couldn't really taste the flavor-changing oil. Next time, I'll add the grated ginger after taking a bite. That way, I can enjoy 3 variations with flavor-changing and combining the grated ginger. That's the plan I made. Ultimately, I finished the soup. I ate the dried ginger at the bottom to complete the meal. Finally, amidst the busy atmosphere, they opened the door for me and bid me farewell. Thank you very much. I wonder what kind of changes flavor-changing would bring to the original taste. The ramen's basic taste was so good that I couldn't help but want to try various things. The basic taste, types of flavor-changing oils, timing of adding them, (timing of adding grated ginger), how many times do I need to visit to find the best combination...
