Today is Sunday, and my wife and I both have the day off, so we decided to go to Coach & Four because I wanted to browse some CDs. For lunch, we decided to go to a restaurant that we both love, even though we knew we would have to wait. We arrived at Ramenya Takahashi for the 15th time and found a few cars waiting on the street because the parking lot was full. We decided to wait in the car until our turn. After about 45 minutes, we were called in and ordered our ramen tickets. I usually get the fish sauce ramen, but this time I decided to try the dipping ramen. I ordered 2 servings, while my wife ordered 1.5 servings, totaling 2,000 yen. We waited for our food and chatted with the owner about a new ramen shop in Anping-cho. The dipping ramen finally arrived, and it was delicious as always. The broth was rich in seafood flavor without any fishy taste, and the noodles were firm and tasty. I finished my 2 servings quickly, and my wife couldn't finish hers, so I happily ate the rest. We also tried a soup refresher with curry powder, which added a different flavor to the meal. Overall, Ramenya Takahashi's dipping ramen is outstanding, and I always enjoy coming back for their delicious ramen. Another satisfying meal!

Miso tsukemen (medium) + Flavored egg My friend who was transferred to Tokyo had decided to move, and before leaving, I really wanted them to try the tsukemen here, so I was prepared to wait in line for as long as it took on a Sunday afternoon. When I arrived, there was the expected line of cars. However, the staff managed it well and allowed us to wait in our cars, so it wasn't too bad. After about 50 minutes of waiting, we were able to order ahead of time, and the counter seats were not overly crowded, so they could serve customers at a good pace, allowing us to eat calmly. It's a very considerate restaurant. Maybe it's because all the staff are women. This time, I tried the miso tsukemen for the first time. The soup was thick and rich, coating the thick noodles very well. They said they didn't use any of the spices used in curry, but the seasoning had a nice spicy kick that made me sweat a lot halfway through. The miso was also delicious with the curry powder flavor, and the extra soup was extremely tasty. Above all, the custom-made thick noodles had a unique taste and texture that you can't find elsewhere. I will definitely go back again.

I visited around 4:00 pm on a holiday! First, I bought a meal ticket inside the store, then waited in the car until I was called to go to the store. It was very convenient to be able to sit and wait. I was called in about 15 minutes and went inside the store. I ordered the cold Miso Tsukemen in small size for 850 yen. The noodles were cold and had a good chewy texture, about medium thickness. The noodles were very satisfying and the dipping sauce mixed well with them, making it delicious! The Miso Tsukemen was a bit spicy. If you prefer non-spicy noodles, it would be better to choose the regular Tsukemen. It was spicy but delicious, so I drank lots of water while finishing the meal. It was my last meal in Hokkaido, so I was glad to enjoy it. Of course, payment was with a meal ticket, so cash only. Thank you for the meal!

Sapporo Dome is hosting a match between Sapporo and Shonan at 7:00 pm kickoff. With time for preparing banners and such, there is enough time to eat ramen (lol) from Japanese Ramen Noodle JabQ. Even though there is some travel time involved, there is quite a bit of free time. First, head to Sapporo Dome and leave your belongings in the waiting line. There seems to be a great tsukemen restaurant in Sapporo or Hokkaido within walking distance, so let's go check it out. Tsukemen is not something you hear about often in Hokkaido, so it's worth a try. As we arrive at the restaurant, we see a few people waiting in line, and even some in their cars in the parking lot. The waiting system was unclear, so we decided to enter the restaurant, where you sign in, buy a meal ticket, and wait to be called. Once you sign in, the staff will come to get you, even if you're in your car. It's convenient for hot days or bad weather when you can hide in your car... not recommended if you walked here (lol). The restaurant isn't very spacious, but that might make it more relaxing to eat. We waited for 40 minutes and finally got seated. We ordered the cold tsukemen. The noodles looked like udon at first glance. The soup didn't have a strong bonito smell, making us curious about the dipping sauce. When we tried the noodles with the sauce, we tasted a sweet dipping sauce. It was mild and not sharp. It paired well with the thick noodles, almost like udon. We also tried the soup refill, which made it even milder. The small portion was gone in no time. Thank you for the meal. The restaurant closes at 4:30 pm, but they seem to close once the soup runs out, so they might close early. We'd love to visit again before the next match at Sapporo Dome.

The location was a bit hard to find, but I managed to arrive safely! I ordered the small size miso tsukemen and waited for 10 minutes. The tsukemen had thick noodles similar to udon! The noodles were chewy and mixed well with the miso dipping sauce, it was incredibly delicious!! Before I knew it, I had finished the whole bowl because it was so tasty! All the staff were friendly and kind, and they were all female!

I went to Takahashi-san's famous ramen shop in Fukuzumi after a long time. I arrived right when they opened on a weekday, but had to wait in the car for about 30 minutes before entering. I ordered the miso tsukemen that day, and the thick and rich soup that coated the noodles was delicious. It has always been tasty, but it felt like it had leveled up even more. Here are my personal ratings for each menu I have tried in the past: Miso tsukemen 3.9 points, Spicy tsukemen 3.7 points, Spicy tsukemen with seasoned egg 3.8 points. Adding toppings like seasoned egg or bamboo shoots enhances the flavor of the simple dish.

This ramen shop is apparently famous for being selected as one of the top 100 ramen shops on Tabelog every year. I visited before watching a J-League match at Sapporo Dome. It's a 15-minute walk from the dome and about a 20-minute walk from Fukuzumi Station. I visited on a Saturday at 11:00 and there weren't many people in line. I purchased a meal ticket inside and then waited in my car as most people were doing. When my turn came, a staff member called me in. I only waited outside for about 20 minutes before being called. I ordered the Tsukemen, medium size with 1.5 servings for 950 yen. There were also miso tsukemen and ramen on the menu, but I chose the simplest option! The taste was amazing. At first, I thought it was just a typical fish and pork bone broth tsukemen, but the soup was outstanding. It had a subtle sweetness from the vegetables, shrimp, and other ingredients. The noodles were chewy and had a great texture. It was truly delicious and satisfying. If I had to make one suggestion, I would pay an extra 100 yen for a larger portion of soup. I left feeling energized and ready to cheer for Gamba Osaka! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I used this restaurant for a late lunch during my business trip to Sapporo. It is located just off National Route 36, heading towards Chitose from Sapporo, past the Sapporo Dome. I arrived around 2:00 pm on a weekday and was seated right away. I ordered the "tsukemen (medium)" for 950 yen. You purchase a meal ticket from the machine near the entrance and hand it to the staff. The noodles were thick and chewy, perfect for tsukemen. The medium size was just right, not too large. The broth, rich in animal and seafood flavors, coated the noodles well. I was worried I wouldn't have enough broth left for soup-wari at the end, but it turned out just fine. The remaining broth was a bit limited, but I still enjoyed it with the soup-wari. Overall, it was a satisfying lunch. While miso ramen and soup curry are popular in Sapporo, tsukemen is a great choice, especially on hot days.

Visit on 8/20/2023 at 14:44. There was no wait inside the restaurant, but other customers were waiting in their cars. There were about 7 groups waiting, and the staff mentioned that the wait would be around 30-40 minutes. I ordered the Tsukemen (small) for 850 yen with an additional flavored egg for 150 yen. I entered the restaurant at 15:31 and received my dish at 15:36. The soup was rich with a seafood base, but without any bitterness, rather it had a hint of sweetness. The noodles were thick, and I felt like I could have easily eaten two servings if I hadn't been ramen hopping today. The menma topping was large and flat, but very tender and delicious. I regret not trying the soup-wari (soup dilution) for the next time I visit. If I have the chance to visit again, I would like to try the soup-wari.

★Gourmet Lawyer's Food Diary ★【Instagram】joy_sound 【Tabelog】_Chrome_ーーーーーーーーーーーーーPopular rich tsukemen shop! Visited Menya Takahashi in Tsukisamu, Sapporo, Hokkaido. This is a popular shop known for its rich tsukemen noodles, even listed in Tabelog's Top 100 Ramen Shops. Visited on Friday around 11:30 am. Wrote my name inside the store and then waited outside. It was tough waiting under the scorching sun. Chose the Tsukemen Small (one serving) for 850 yen. You can choose hot or cold noodles, I opted for cold. Served in about 30 minutes. Rich soup made from seafood and animal broth, different from the usual seafood pork bone tsukemen. Thick and smooth noodles. Enjoyed it even until the last drop of soup. Thank you for the meal!ーーーーーーーーーーーーLikes, saves, comments, are very encouraging!!

I ordered the miso tsukemen with extra topping of kuzumenma! I arrived 30 minutes before the opening and was the first in line, so I decided to wait in my car until someone else arrived. Soon, two more people came and I lined up after them. Luckily, I was able to get a seat on the first round. I chose the miso tsukemen with kuzumenma. When asked if I wanted the noodles hot or cold, I requested them cold. The dipping sauce was not too fishy or strong in miso flavor, but had a mild and just right taste. The kuzumenma was crunchy. Thank you for the meal.

When it comes to Sapporo, the impression of miso ramen is strong, but the variety of top shops is rich. This place seems to receive high praise for its tsukemen. Visited by rental car. There are parking spaces for 9 cars in front of the store. If they run out, I wonder what they do. I wrote my name on the list inside the store and waited in the car for about 15-20 minutes. Prompted by a knock, I entered the store with a gal-like waitress. Orders are placed before waiting. I chose the small tsukemen for 850 yen. It's nice for collectors that they have a small size. The tsukemen looks simple. It's not trying to be fancy. The dipping sauce is quite rich, probably over 20% brix. The noodles are medium thick, not too thick, so they feel quite rich. There is a slight bitterness of seafood, but it's within an acceptable range. The richness of the animal base is excellent. They must have simmered it quite a bit. There aren't many toppings like chashu, but the quality is not low. Overall, it's a high-level tsukemen. However, I didn't feel much individuality. To aim for even higher, it would need more individuality and originality.

I love ramen. Today, I visited Menya Takahashi in Kiyota-ku. They are known for their Sapporo No. 1 tsukemen. The thick noodles and rich soup were just to my liking. It was simple yet flavorful and delicious! It was so good that I finished the soup before finishing the noodles. I arrived around 11:30 and it was quite crowded, but the service was great - they even came out to the car to take orders. What surprised me the most was that all the staff were women. It goes to show that ramen shops are not just for men.

I had always wanted to visit Takahashi-san's restaurant. It was tough waiting in the car during the summer, but I finally mustered up the courage to go. After waiting for 1 hour and 10 minutes, I finally entered the restaurant. I ordered the small size of the tsukemen with warm soup. The umami flavor of the seafood was amazing. At first, the sweetness hit me hard along with the aroma, and I thought maybe I didn't like it. But as I kept eating, I realized how delicious it was. It was definitely worth the wait. The thick noodles had a great chewiness and paired well with the soup. I also tried the extra soup, and I finished it all. Afterward, I didn't feel thirsty at all, and the feeling of "that was delicious" lingered for a while. Thank you for the delicious tsukemen. I will definitely come back again, despite the heat.

Polite service, elegant flavors. Despite being a small establishment in a bustling area, the spacious parking lot is greatly appreciated. They allow you to wait in your car, so you can wait comfortably even in scorching heat or extreme cold. I also enjoyed the change in flavor after adding soup to the leftover broth. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Spicy dipping noodles for 850 yen. The spiciness is not that strong, but it is rich and delicious. One serving feels like there is not enough noodles, as it is eaten up quickly. The dipping soup is also delicious and I finished it all. It was my first visit in a while, but I still think it is one of the top places for dipping noodles. The toppings are green onions, chashu, and thick menma. The only improvement I would suggest is to warm up the menma before serving, as it is cold in the middle even when dipped in the soup. The chashu is soft and tasty. On the counter, there are pepper, shichimi, curry powder, vinegar, water, tissues, disposable chopsticks, and toothpicks. I arrived at 10:30 am on a weekday, but there were already many people lining up. Luckily, I was able to grab the last seat. I waited for 20 minutes before being served. The service was good.

Takahashi Ramen is a reliable choice♪ I make sure to go at least once a month. The dipping sauce is rich with a seafood and pork bone base, with hints of dried sardines and shrimp (I apologize if I got that wrong...). I always go for the large serving here! The thick noodles perfectly soak up the soup, and the smooth and chewy texture is delicious. I always finish by drinking up the remaining soup. I'm thinking of going again tomorrow~

When looking at the reviews on Tabelog, I decided to visit Ramenya Takahashi, who is highly regarded as the top ramen shop in Hokkaido. Hokkaido doesn't have many tsukemen shops, so I was excited to try their first tsukemen in Hokkaido. The shop opens at 10:30 am, which is quite early, but convenient. When I arrived on a Saturday at 10 am, there was only one person waiting. The access to the shop is not the best, so it may not get too crowded. By 10:30 am, there were already 12 people in line. Once the shop opened, we had to write our names and wait in our cars. This system is great for both hot summers and cold winters. I purchased a ticket for the tsukemen, choosing the miso tsukemen with extra seasoned egg and chashu. I opted for the cold serving. The staff all wore striped shirts, some black and some gray, which was quite noticeable. When the dish arrived, the noodles were neatly arranged and looked beautiful. The dipping sauce had a rich miso color, and the chashu was elegantly placed around the bowl. The noodles were firm and had a good chewy texture, with a delicious wheat flavor. Dipping them into the rich miso sauce was a great Hokkaido experience. The chashu was tender and juicy, and the bamboo shoots had a nice crunch. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

In Sapporo, I took care of some errands and on my way to Chitose in a rental car, I wanted to create more memories by eating something else. I decided to visit Menya Takahashi, a popular ramen restaurant in the Tsukisamu area of Toyohira Ward near Sapporo Dome around 2:30 PM. Despite my expectations of it being empty, I had to write down my name and car number and wait in the car for a few minutes before being seated. The restaurant was lively with local customers. I ordered the small portion of tsukemen with seasoned egg as a topping. The noodles were chewy and smooth, with a great texture, and they paired perfectly with the pork bone and seafood-based dipping broth. The seasoned egg was also flavorful. I finished off with a soup refill for a satisfying end to the meal.

Visit on June 16, 2023, at 11:45 AM. Mr. "Takahashi" here is a regular at the ramen top 100 stores, which have been selected consecutively. Since it's only open for lunch, it's a high hurdle for business travelers to visit, but today, being a day off on the way back to Tokyo, I definitely wanted to go. The parking lot was almost full, but luckily there was one empty space for me to slip into. When I arrived at the restaurant, I bought a meal ticket, wrote down my name, and then waited in the car. From word of mouth reviews, it seems that the tsukemen, not the ramen, is popular. There are three types of tsukemen: regular, spicy, and miso. You can choose from small, medium, or large noodle portions. Today, I chose the "Miso Tsukemen - Medium Portion (1.5 servings) for ¥950". I handed the meal ticket to the staff and ordered the cold dipping noodles. After waiting in the car for about 10 minutes, they called me in. I sat at the counter and my meal was ready in about 5 minutes. The miso tsukemen had a good amount of chili peppers, which I like spicy, so it was not a problem for me, but for those who don't like spicy food, please be aware. The cold noodles were beautifully arranged in a streamlined shape. The noodles were as thick as fine udon, providing a satisfying texture. They had a strong wheat flavor and were delicious. The dipping sauce had a rich but easy-to-eat miso flavor that coated the noodles well. The chashu pork slices were meaty, and there was plenty if you eat them slowly. The menma bamboo shoots were so thick that they could be mistaken for chashu. Finally, I finished with a soup refill, drinking it all in one go. As expected, the regular at the top 100 stores did not disappoint. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Finally made it to Revenge Ramen haha. It's been so long since I last came here, I wonder when that was? I actually tried to go to Takahashi-san about two weeks ago, but they were closed... they have days off even when it's not their regular day off, it's a common thing haha. It always seems to happen when people come from far away, it's a Gizmo thing (tears). Oh well, I finally made it today at 1:30 pm, just as another customer was leaving, lucky me, no need to wait in line! I ordered the Miso Tsukemen, small size for 850 yen. At the entrance, they ask if you want cold or hot noodles when you hand in your ticket. There was a family with a mother and a small child enjoying their meal, the child was asking for the mother's chashu haha. The mother said, "You still have noodles left, you can't have my chashu!" It was funny. I sat at the counter and enjoyed the Tsukemen, it was delicious. I don't know many ramen places, but this one is ranked high for a reason, the noodles were chewy and the dipping sauce was so tasty. And all for 850 yen, which is a great price in this age of 1000 yen ramen. It's a bit far from my house, about a 40-minute drive, but I will definitely come back for this amazing taste. Thank you for the delicious meal, I will be back! 😊
