☆Sapporo Station, Sapporo Ramen Alley☆ Visited "Teshikaga Ramen" for the first time. On the second day of my summer ramen journey, I stumbled upon this place. I had no idea Teshikaga had a famous ramen! Intrigued by the menu, I decided to give it a try. I chose the Teshikaga Shoyu ramen because I prefer a lighter flavor. As expected, the light broth was refreshing and I didn't get tired of it as I kept drinking. The ramen was packed with ingredients, providing different flavors and textures with each slurp of noodles. The chashu was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

This is a ramen from Sapporo Ramen Yokocho for lunch. It is more popular among inbound tourists, with a few domestic tourists as well. I decided to order the "Zenbu Nose" miso ramen, which allows you to choose between sweet and spicy miso, and I chose the sweet miso. Honestly, it didn't taste like the miso ramen I am familiar with, and I couldn't quite figure out the flavor. The noodles, however, were delicious.

On this day, a friend came from Saitama, my hometown, so we went drinking in Susukino. For the final ramen of the night, I chose this place inside Sapporo New Ramen Alley. We visited around 10 pm on a Saturday. The system was to purchase a meal ticket first. I ordered the Shishikaribetsu Spicy Miso Ramen for 980 yen. I handed the meal ticket to the staff and waited for a bit. The ramen arrived shortly after. The toppings included half-cooked egg, seaweed, green onions, and diced pork as the main ingredients. It was nice to have diced pork instead of chashu after drinking. The spicy miso and grated ginger were placed on top of the soup, allowing for gradual melting and flavor enhancement. It was a good system for enjoying different tastes. Also, since eggs are hard to come by in Hokkaido due to the current situation, the egg topping was a pleasant surprise. Of course, the medium-thick noodles coated well with the miso and smoothly settled in the stomach. The miso soup was not too thick or too thin, making it stomach-friendly. The seaweed was especially delicious. Thank you for the meal♪

★★★☆☆: The taste was delicious! However, there may be a bias towards the taste due to being at the actual location. ★★☆☆☆: The atmosphere was neither good nor bad, just average. ★★★☆☆: I would consider revisiting because of Ramen Yokocho, I want to try other shops as well.

The ramen master of eastern Hokkaido, Shikaoi. I have a memory of being deeply moved by the bustling shop there last year. This time, I went to the Ramen Alley in Sapporo for a final bowl of ramen. As usual, people like me from outside the region are walking around craving ramen. So, I decided to go to Shikaoi, which I experienced last year. It's a small place with only about 8 counter seats, but it's filled with a deliciously hot atmosphere. I bought the top left ticket = the most recommended seafood shoyu ramen. I later realized they also had a half size option. The seafood flavor is not overpowering, the sweetness of the vegetables and the richness of the soy sauce broth blend well, filling up my stomach that was already full from alcohol. Oh, Hokkaido ramen is so good. If I ate this every day, it would be hard to manage my health. But, it can't beat the Shikaoi ramen I ate back in the hometown on an empty stomach.

There were too many types of seafood lined up, so I visited this place. The interior of the shop is small, but the hospitality of the staff is great. I was able to easily taste the seafood flavors of the disciple of the fish in Abashiri in Hokkaido in Sapporo. I was expecting a strong seafood flavor like in Nagi in Tokyo, but it was a more subtle taste than I thought.

The restaurant is small, so only about 5-6 people can fit inside. I was able to get in right away because I went during off-peak hours. I ordered a half-size miso ramen, half-size fried rice, and some dumplings. It was nice to be able to try a variety of dishes with the half-sizes, but the attitude of the staff was a bit disappointing.

It's been a while since I visited Hokkaido! I didn't have time for lunch, and it was late, so the restaurant I was planning to go to was closed. I decided to look around Ramen Yokocho and chose this shop. There were already customers inside, but luckily there was a seat available at the counter. I bought a meal ticket and waited for about 10 minutes before my ramen arrived. This time, I chose the regular miso flavor instead of something spicy. I was hoping for slightly thicker noodles, but they were still delicious when mixed with the soup. The soup and chashu were also to my liking and delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I found Sapporo Ramen Alley and decided to visit Shokotsu Ramen. I ordered the seafood-infused soy sauce ramen using a food ticket. It was late at night, so it wasn't crowded, but there were still about two groups of people. The ramen looked quite rich at first, but since it's seafood-based, it was surprisingly easy to eat. I love seafood flavors, so this ramen was the best way to start my Hokkaido food journey.

I went to this restaurant during a trip to Sapporo, in a blurry memory after drinking too much. I ordered the spicy miso ramen and even though I was drunk, it was still delicious. However, it is quite spicy so if you don't like spicy food, you might want to avoid it.

I waited for 40 minutes at Wolf Soup near Nakajima Park, only to be told that the soup had sold out right in front of me. I wish they had told me sooner. I ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen for 880 yen with medium-thin wavy noodles. The soup is a blend of 4 types of miso paste, making it rich and flavorful. When asked if I wanted it spicy, I said yes. As I ate the noodles, the spiciness gradually increased, boosting my appetite. While there was nothing particularly unique about it, it was a delicious miso ramen. This was my 33rd bowl of ramen this year. Thank you for the meal.

Sapporo Ramen Yokocho, which has been turned into a tourist spot, is lined with many shops in surprisingly narrow alleyways. Despite it being early evening, the atmosphere feels a bit quiet and deserted. The shop I was looking for was unexpectedly closed on a Saturday night without any notice. However, the good thing about this place is that you can quickly recover from such setbacks. After carefully considering the options, I decided on the Shibetsu Ramen shop. The interior was packed, so I had to wait for a bit. After about 5 minutes, I was able to find a seat at the counter, which despite being small, had a spacious feel to it. I chose the most popular dish, the miso ramen with roasted pork, although you could also choose a spicy miso option. The miso ramen had a hint of ginger aroma and tasted absolutely delicious. The yellowish curly noodles with a high water content paired perfectly with the miso broth. There was also a rare topping of kelp, which served as a nice palate cleanser. The large pieces of roasted pork were satisfying to eat, and overall, it was a delicious bowl of miso ramen.

Sapporo [Otokoyama] Ramen Alley, here! They have one at the airport too! Fish broth soy sauce ❤️ Hokkaido's seafood broth is so good! The noodles are chewy and delicious! It also goes well with fried rice! The clam broth salt ❤️ tastes even better with lots of ginger! The char siu (roast pork) grilled over charcoal was also great!

There is a ramen shop in Nishi Ward called "Teshikaga Ramen" which I visited for the first time. Their specialty seems to be shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, so I ordered the Teshikaga Shoyu Ramen for 800 yen. The dish was served promptly. The toppings included one slice of chashu, menma, naruto, spinach, nori, and chopped green onions. The chashu was flavorful but had a slight gamey taste. The menma and spinach were tender. The soup was a bit oily and hot, with a sweet soy sauce flavor. The noodles were thin with a light wave to them, which I enjoyed. However, I felt that the portion of soup and noodles was a bit small. (March 2022)

It's been a while since I visited Ramen Yokocho. I had the Chashu Ramen with Fish Sauce Soy, which is a signature dish at Disukkuramen in Disukku. It was really delicious! The conversation with the owner was also enjoyable. #RamenClub #LoveRamen #HokkaidoRamen #SapporoRamen #NoodleStagram

When it comes to Deikeshi, I personally think it should be ranked in the top 10 ramen shops in Hokkaido. It's a delicious ramen with addictive qualities that make me wonder if there's some kind of magic powder in it. It's not just tasty, it's magical ramen.

It's been a while since I visited "Susukino"! But it wasn't at night, I stopped by during lunchtime because I had work nearby. I haven't been to "Susukino" for over a year now, even before the pandemic. I'm always busy every day, and I can't even go out for dinner... so my reviews mostly don't include night restaurants unless it's during a business trip with accommodation. Today, I didn't drink alcohol and it was daytime, but just to feel the atmosphere of "Susukino," I had ramen for lunch at my favorite place, "Tokachikko Ramen" at Sapporo Ramen Alley. I ordered the "Tokachikko Miso" for 850 yen. It's a special blend of four types of Hokkaido miso and Chinese tenmenjan miso, with added wine, creating a rich and not greasy miso ramen. The ramen had chunky slices of chashu and grated ginger on top, with plenty of lard floating in the soup, giving it a similar vibe to "Junsuimurachu" style. It was delicious, especially when I dissolved the "special miso ball" with minced meat into the soup. "Tokachikko" is known for its soy sauce ramen, but the miso ramen is also good!

The food theme park on the 10th floor of Esta only has one more shop left to conquer, but today let's go on a little detour instead of taking the usual route and head to Toyohira Susukino Station. It's a holiday after all, right? However, in order to save on transportation costs, let's go check out the current situation in Susukino, which is located in the south 3 to south 8 streets and west 2 to 6 blocks. It seems like the area is still under repair. Oh, and I just found out that the request for restaurants with entertainment in Sapporo has been extended until December 11th. So, let's go see the current situation in Susukino. Well, let's just go to the original Sapporo Ramen Alley. I arrived a little after 11 am, and as usual, the alley is still full of closed shutters. Upon checking, out of the 16 shops here, 6 are closed, and 8 are open for lunch, with only 6 open from 11 am. It seems like a ghost town with only 6 out of 16 shops open. However, it seems like a high hurdle to conquer all the shops. I decided to visit one of the few shops that were open from 11 am. As I researched, there are some interesting points to note on the official website of the company that operates this shop. Also, I found some interesting information on a personal blog. Daisuke Ramen pursues the true taste of Hokkaido by preparing the "3-flavor sauce" at the central kitchen of the main store in Daisuke Town. The ingredients are of high quality from the mountains and the spring water from Lake Mashu. However, when I checked on NAVITIME, I found out that Daisuke Town is 354.4 kilometers away from Sapporo Station. It would take 6 hours and 44 minutes by car. It's really far away, isn't it? It's interesting to note that there is only one main store in the eastern Hokkaido area, with one shop each in Handai Ward and Nishi Ward in Sapporo, as well as in Kitahiroshima and New Chitose Airport, and for some reason, one shop in Kuwana City, Mie Prefecture. It seems like a strange development, don't you think? It's a bit awkward. The shipping cost must be high... The company's president, who was originally from Rumoi City and was considering the concept of Daisuke Ramen, appointed the first shop manager, who had experience in Chinese restaurants, and the first shop manager learned how to make the soup by staying in Daisuke for about a week. The first shop opened in Nishi Ward, 24-ken, in August 2005, and the main store opened in July 2006. Why does the main store come later? Moreover, why does the first shop manager, who went back to his hometown in Nakagawa Town, Hokkaido in May before the main store opened, have anything to do with it? Why is the main store newer? What is Daisuke Ramen in the first place? When I looked it up, the shop that the company's president frequented and was the inspiration for the concept is still located at 1-2-3 Yunoshima, Daisuke Town. Let's buy a meal ticket at the small ticket machine on the left side as soon as we enter the shop. Shall we go with the "Daisuke Shoyu Ramen" for 800 yen and "Rice" for 100 yen, which are the origins of the shop? There is one male customer ahead of me. The ramen that arrived after about 5 minutes... The soup is quite oily with a thick layer of oil, and the toppings include thick slices of char siu, thick menma, spinach, naruto, and green onions. It looks like an old-fashioned ramen at first glance. The fat content is high though. The noodles are medium-thin curly noodles from Sagamiya. The soup has a slightly strong soy sauce flavor, and am I imagining the seafood flavor? The char siu has a good chewy texture. Oh, the rice... It seems like it was left in a jar overnight, right? Overall, it's a well-made ramen. It doesn't have any strange flavors and should be popular with everyone. Well, thanks for the meal (laughs).

Oops. I ordered soy sauce ramen, but it turned out to be seafood broth. It's not what I expected, but it's really delicious. The seafood broth is amazing! It's not the typical fish broth, it's more of a seafood flavor. A half-size ramen is enough in terms of portion. However, about half of the ramen shops on this street are closed. I hope everything is okay in Hokkaido...worried...

Visited for the first time on 9/19, marking my 90th visit in 2020. I headed to Ramen Yokocho and was surprised to find that many shops were closed and there were hardly any customers. Even though it was just after opening hours, it felt too empty. The shop I was looking for was also closed, so I decided to try a shop I hadn't been to before - Shikotsu Ramen at Sapporo Ramen Yokocho. The owner was the only one working and I chose the standard soy sauce ramen at the counter. The cooking process was delicate and I could see everything. The chashu was carefully seared on a grill, which I appreciated. The ramen was simple with minimal toppings, but the soup had a thick layer of fat on the surface. I took a sip and it was very hot and delicious, with a hint of garlic flavor. The noodles were thin and chewy, similar to Kushiro ramen, and paired well with the soup. The toppings didn't overpower the soup and the thick chashu slices added a nice volume to the dish. I almost drank all the soup because it was so tasty, but I remembered that I had already eaten a ham and egg bowl earlier, so I restrained myself. The experience made me want to try the original shop in Shikotsu town. The ramen here had a different taste from the one I had recently, but it was still delicious. I was lucky to have tried it since the shop I originally planned to visit was closed. It was a delightful meal!
