In front of Hakodate Station, along National Route 5 (272km to Sapporo!), there is a shop on the first floor of a mixed-use building. After enjoying conveyor belt sushi at "Nemuro Hanamaru," I came across a red sign on the way to the hotel. I tried the "Hakodate Shio Ramen" (tax included 850 yen) listed as the "ultimate favorite" on the menu. I was seated at the counter. It was past 9:30 pm, but there was no shortage of customers. After a short wait, the ramen was served. The clear yellow soup was impressive, made with kombu dashi and chicken broth, slightly oily yet rich in flavor, light and refreshing, with a depth that increased with each sip. The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles, perfectly complementing the soup. The ramen was generously topped with ingredients like well-soaked wheat gluten, tender and flavorful chashu, naruto, seasoned egg, spinach, green onions, and slightly sweet bamboo shoots for decoration. The colorful presentation was beautiful. I finished every last drop of the soup, thoroughly satisfied with the delicious shio ramen. Hakodate, known as the birthplace of ramen, truly lives up to its reputation. Thank you for the meal!

After enjoying sea urchin bowl and sake, I visited for ramen as a finishing touch. I couldn't resist ordering fried rice as well. The clear and refreshing salt ramen soup, along with the delicious fried rice, was satisfying. You can also get an extra serving for 100 yen. It's just right to experience Hakodate. You'll feel happy and relaxed with the comforting salt ramen. The only downside was that the restaurant was steamy inside, probably due to the unexpected heat in Hakodate. Looking forward to visiting in spring or autumn next time.

First time in Hakodate. When you come to Hakodate, you have to try salt ramen, right? I always wanted to try it at least once. This time, I was lucky to come to Hakodate on a business trip, and without any research, I entered a restaurant that turned out to be really good. It's a ramen shop in front of Hakodate Station. It was crowded, so I thought it must be delicious. I ordered the Hakodate salt ramen (850 yen). The turnover was fast. The broth was rich and incredibly delicious. It was so good that I wanted to bring rice and put it in the remaining soup. The noodles were curly and thin. The chashu was large and satisfying. Isn't nori different from Kanto? I remember it was white on the outside... The ramen was simple but had a rich and refreshing taste. I want to eat it again. I bought the Goryo chopsticks used here as a souvenir. They are pentagonal, so they don't slip. This is convenient. The soft serve ice cream after the meal was delicious, but I was expecting a bit more richness, so when I think about it, it was just average.

I was the first in line at this ramen shop, waiting before it even opened. It was my first time trying this place. The noodles were a bit firm at first, but softened as I ate them in the soup. The ramen came with chashu pork, egg, spinach, and other toppings, making it a good deal for 850 yen in a tourist area. The soup was yellow and had a Hakodate salt ramen vibe. I finished everything, slurping up every last drop.

When it comes to Hakodate ramen, it's all about the salt! I didn't know that Hakodate salt ramen was a famous B-class gourmet dish when I visited Hakodate, but I decided to try it anyway. It's located close to JR Hakodate Station, so it's very convenient to access! My impression is that it's really hot in the summer. There is air conditioning, but it doesn't seem to work very well. It was so hot that I ate quickly just to get outside. Once I finished eating and stepped outside, I felt the coolness.笑

I arrived in Hakodate City, Hokkaido. One of the popular Hakodate dishes is salt ramen, so I decided to try it at this restaurant. The restaurant is conveniently located near the train station, making it easily accessible. After checking into my hotel, I headed straight to the restaurant as I was hungry. The interior of the restaurant is spacious and clean, with both counter and table seating available. I ordered the salt ramen and gyoza. The salt ramen had a clear soup with a noticeable layer of oil on top. The soup had a deep umami flavor beyond just salt, and the oil was not overpowering, allowing me to enjoy it. The noodles were a beautiful yellow color, firm and chewy. The gyoza oozed with juicy filling when bitten into, with a light and easy-to-eat seasoning. The service was friendly and welcoming, making my dining experience comfortable. It's not easy to find a ramen shop with good food, service, and cleanliness near a train station, so I was glad to have discovered this one. It was delicious, and I will definitely visit again next time I come to Hakodate.

I had delicious "Hakodate Salt Ramen" on a holiday in July 2023. I decided to do some sightseeing in Hakodate, not just cheer for the horses. I had some time before catching the Shinkansen back, so I visited Goryokaku Park and climbed Goryokaku Tower. After finishing up sightseeing in Hakodate, I returned to Hakodate Station. Since I had time before catching the express train to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station, I decided to have a meal around the station. I had "Squid and Salmon Roe Rice Bowl" for breakfast, so I thought I'd have ramen this time. There is a famous ramen shop inside the station, but I had already tried the ramen at the same shop where I cheered for the horses, so I went to "Hakodate Salt Ramen Shinano" near the station. I arrived at the restaurant around 11 am, and there was only one other customer inside. I sat at the counter and ordered a Sapporo Classic draft beer for ¥600 and the Hakodate Salt Ramen for ¥850. The draft beer arrived quickly, and it was delicious. Cheers to Hakodate! The Hakodate Salt Ramen was served shortly after. The soup was flavorful, light, and had a good saltiness to it. The medium-thin noodles were perfect, and the chashu was tender and tasty. Finishing off my Hakodate meals with "Hakodate Salt Ramen" at Shinano was very satisfying. Now it's time to head back home.

It took almost 5 hours by car from Sapporo to reach our final destination, Hakodate. We arrived after 7 PM and went to a ramen shop near the station. I had the classic salt ramen. It was refreshing with a rich broth. The saltiness was perfectly balanced, creating a smooth and mellow flavor. The medium-thin curly noodles had a nice chewy texture. The fried tofu soaked up the essence of the soup and ingredients in the bowl, releasing a juicy and flavorful taste. Thank you for the meal.

Located in front of Hakodate Station, this restaurant is easy to find even for tourists who are unfamiliar with the area. I came here late at night because I couldn't find any ramen shops open targeting tourists, and locals probably don't come here. I ordered the salt ramen, which had a soup that was amber in color with a hint of blue, rich in flavor and a gentle saltiness. The soup had a bit too much oil for my liking, but overall it was good. The noodles were thin and chewy with a high water content, cooked just right. The surprisingly satisfying chashu had fried gluten on top. The restaurant seemed to have an equal mix of tourists and locals, and I realized that it's a ramen shop with support from locals as well.

I arrived in Hakodate at night, so I had dinner in front of the station. The Hakodate salt ramen had a rich and distinct flavor in the soup. The noodles were semi-transparent. If you like them firm, they might feel slightly soft. There were plenty of toppings, including roasted pork, bamboo shoots, seasoned egg, fish cake, and wheat gluten. I thought it might not be enough, so I also ordered half-fried rice, but the salt ramen alone was quite filling. The restaurant was almost full with customers coming in without a break.

While in Hakodate, I felt like I had to have salt ramen at least once, so I came here. It was a bit late, so the main option was already sold out, but luckily I made it in time here! The noodles were thin and the soup was light but flavorful! I slurped it all up easily! The chashu was a bit fatty for my taste, but the noodles and soup were so delicious that it balanced out!

When it comes to Hakodate, salt ramen is a must-try, so I went to Shinano. The access from the station is excellent! I was torn between salt ramen and ginger salt ramen, but I chose the ginger one, and it was incredibly delicious. My friend (a Hokkaido native) had the salt ramen, but both of us agreed that the ginger salt ramen was the better choice. Despite being ramen, it was refreshing yet flavorful, and had a satisfying taste that even a discerning palate would appreciate.

I came across this place while looking for Hakodate ramen to finish my trip in Hokkaido. It's conveniently located near the station and my hotel, so I walked there. I ordered the salt ramen, spicy miso ramen, gyoza, and fried rice. The spicy miso ramen was just as delicious as the famous salt ramen.

Hakodate Ramen-ya is located very close to Hakodate Station bus terminal. I aimed to arrive right at the 11:30 opening time. I was the second customer to enter, and as I ate, more customers started to come in and it became lively. I ordered the salt ramen and half fried rice. The salt ramen had a light flavor with delicious egg noodles. The chashu was soft and fluffy! It's just as described in travel guidebooks! The half fried rice had simple ingredients with the egg blending in nicely, simply delicious! It's surprising that there wasn't a long line, considering it's a famous restaurant near the station. Highly recommended!

After enjoying dishes like lamb shabu-shabu and seafood grill, we decided to try the popular salt ramen as a finishing touch. We walked to the restaurant near the station, lined up, and finally got to taste the salt ramen. It was a simple yet delicious flavor that was perfect after a hearty meal. If I have the chance to visit Hakodate again, I would definitely stop by this place. Thank you for the meal.

I tried this ramen shop next to the hotel for a closing meal. I was surprised by the high ratings of the ramen. The customer service was good and the atmosphere inside the shop was quite comfortable. I ordered the recommended salt ramen and miso ramen. The salt ramen had a depth of flavor that I had never experienced before, but my partner said, "Isn't this Sapporo salt ramen... Is there curry powder in it?" and was confused. I personally felt a deep flavor and judged it as not a taste commonly found in Kansai. It was very delicious. I think it would have been even more delicious if I wasn't already drunk. I recommend going before getting too full.

Every time I came to Hakodate, I would always eat ramen, but due to bad timing like during the break time, I had never visited this place before. This time, I visited at night after going out for drinks. I ordered the recommended salt ramen, while my companion ordered miso ramen. We also got half-fried rice and gyoza. When the ramen arrived, I took a sip of the soup and thought, "Delicious." The clear soup had a lingering depth of flavor that made it easy to slurp up. It had a gentle yet impactful taste. I have tried ramen at other long-standing shops as well, but I really liked the taste here. The fried rice was well-cooked and had a simple, nostalgic flavor. The gyoza had a strong seasoning and a nice crispy texture. The staff's service was also very good. It's important to have good service too, right?

I went to several restaurants I wanted to visit, but they were all closed. So, I decided to walk to an old famous shop near the station where many tourists were. I had a light but satisfying bowl of ramen with plenty of soup. It felt like it was enhanced by some chemical assistance, but I was still happy with the ramen.

(Recorded on August 18, 2023) Visited in late May 2023 on a weekday night. Arrived at Hakodate Airport late at night, so by the time I reached my accommodation near Hakodate Station, it was already past 8 p.m. Since I needed to start early the next morning, my dinner options were limited to izakaya-style places, and I ended up choosing salt ramen. However, in this area, many establishments close relatively early, and after researching, I found this restaurant had good reviews and seemed to stay open late. For detailed information with accompanying photos, search "Kimura's Memo"! ↓ http://kimura.li/memo/?p=41732 Location: The restaurant is located near Hakodate Station, across from the bus terminal, making it very convenient. It's just a 1-minute walk from the bus terminal and a 2-minute walk from JR Hakodate Station. There aren't many dining options along this road, so it's easy to spot. Crowdedness and Interior: Despite being a weekday evening past 8 p.m., the restaurant was almost full upon arrival, but we only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table. The interior is narrow, with a counter seating for 9 and three 2-person table seats, accommodating about 15 people. It got busier as the night went on, with business travelers and people coming for a late-night ramen after their first round of drinks. Recommended Menu: While Hakodate is known for salt ramen, the restaurant also offers soy sauce and miso variations. They have additional options like ginger salt for salt ramen and spicy miso for miso ramen. Toppings include Hokkaido-style ingredients like butter and corn, as well as standard choices like chashu and green onions. They also serve rice dishes like fried rice and pork belly rice, along with gyoza. Plus, you can get an extra serving of noodles for just 100 yen. Summary: I ordered the "Hakodate Salt Ramen (850 yen)" and the "Fried Rice (650 yen)" to complement it. The salt ramen had a rich, savory flavor with a strong saltiness and a hint of seafood umami, along with a noticeable oiliness. The thin, straight noodles were a vibrant yellow color with a slightly chewy texture that paired well with the flavorful soup. The fried rice was generously portioned and satisfying. While there are higher-rated ramen shops in the area, this restaurant is a solid choice for late-night salt ramen cravings due to its operating hours and location.

I discovered a ramen restaurant in front of Hakodate Station where there is always a line from opening to closing! According to the sign in front of the store, it was selected as one of the best cost-performance gourmet by Jalan 36! I was intrigued and decided to line up. The interior of the restaurant has counter seats and about three two-person tables, it's quite packed. It's hot!!! I'm already sweating before eating, haha. I ordered: - Hakodate Salt Ramen (850 yen) - Fried Rice (650 yen) When in Hakodate, you have to try the salt ramen! I've seen on Instagram and Tabelog that everyone eats salt ramen here! I can't contain my excitement until it arrives. Let's dig in! First, let's try the soup! Delicious!!! Even though it's salt ramen, it's not too light and has a rich flavor that is easy to eat! The noodles are very thin and easy to slurp. I was thrilled to find my favorite naruto (fish cake) in it. Oh, I understand why there's always a line now! It's delicious! The fried rice was also delicious, with a nice texture that you can expect from a ramen restaurant. Thank you for the meal!
