▼Ordered Items - Soy Sauce and Green Onion Ramen (Regular Size) ... 820 yen - Special Gyoza ... 350 yen I had been to this place once when I was younger. I wanted to recall what the ramen was like, so I visited after more than ten years. The soup was... hard to describe, but it had a junky feel to it. The noodles were thick, so I was worried it would be heavy... but surprisingly, it wasn't. I managed to finish it without feeling weighed down. Why was that? Anyway, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you.

Visited with a friend around 9:00 AM on September 10, 2023. There were 4 customers ahead of us but no wait. We enjoyed delicious ramen for 690 yen. However, we found the taste a bit light, so next time we visit, we plan to order it with stronger flavor.

Was Premium Salt Pork Bone Ramen always like this? The base is pork bone soup, but the saltiness is mild. The pork bone flavor also feels somewhat light. It comes with sweet menma and a boiled egg by default. It's delicious, but I still prefer soy sauce, miso, or spicy miso. Salt is just not my thing, haha.

There is a ramen restaurant called Ramen Yamaoka-ya in Hokkaido that specializes in miso ramen, but I went to the regular Yamaoka-ya. It's rare to find a restaurant without a parking lot, especially one located almost on the roadside. Even though I had ramen for lunch, I felt like eating again after drinking. The guy next to me seemed to be already drunk. I was worried about spilling the ramen while eating. The taste seemed a bit bland. Maybe it's because I had something strong-flavored before this? Thank you for the meal. I then boarded a night bus to head to Nemuro.

I came to Hokkaido and had seafood, which was a relief for my tired stomach. I decided to have morning ramen at Yamagokaya near the TV tower. I prefer it with salt, firm noodles, and extra pork fat. I should have asked for the soup to be lighter since it's morning. The heat is intense here, unlike at the Akashi store. Anyway, being able to eat at Yamagokaya in Hokkaido makes me happy.

I used the underground bicycle parking lot in Nishi 2-chome for the first time. If you use My Little, you can park for just 200 yen a day! The crackdown on abandoned bicycles in Chuo Ward has become strict, so if you accidentally park in a non-paid area, they'll take it far away, and if it's a scooter, you'll get a 4000 yen fine, you know. It's not just the central area, please make paid bicycle parking lots in the western side too, Akimoto-san!!! So, I visited Ramen Yamaokaya Minami 2-jo store, which is very close if you park here. It's been a while since I visited, and the unique glasses-wearing older brother at Shikao Eyewear gave me that feeling. It was just the right time to switch with MN-san for a one-man operation, and I was caught up in chatting with talkative MN-san, but before I knew it, he was gone... "Shoyu Ramen + LINE coupon for 5 seaweeds + half rice" Bam! The ramen is my favorite with a light taste. The seaweed was served in a unique way, but the taste was perfect as always, so I didn't need to adjust anything. I always go for half rice, and I eat it by wrapping the seaweed soaked in the soup! MN-san's one-man operation Shoyu Ramen with a light taste, this was the last bowl. Thank you for the meal! #RamenYamaokayaMinami2jostore #Yamaokaya #AddictedtoYamaokaya #LoveYamaokaya #ShoyuRamen #MNsan #OneManOperation #LINEcouponfor5seaweeds #HalfRice #binRamen2023

I was really hungry this morning, so I headed to Ramen Yamaokaya in Minami 2-jo for breakfast. The place was packed and bustling even early in the morning. I ordered the morning ramen with gyoza and rice set, and it was delicious! The ramen was just how I like it - light flavor with firm noodles. The new staff member with glasses who was cooking was quick and efficient. The gyoza at Yamaokaya is seriously tasty. However, eating it with the ramen made the rice feel like too much. I left feeling extremely full and satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal!

●2023/06/23/FRI#103★Ramen Yamaokaya Minami 2-jo Branch@Soy Sauce Ramen ¥690@LINE Coupon White Negi ¥0@Half Rice ¥130It's been 20 days since my last visit to Yamaokaya, and I was eagerly anticipating it. I ordered my favorite soy sauce ramen with a light flavor, added the LINE coupon white negi, and also ordered half rice. "Soy Sauce Ramen + LINE Coupon White Negi + Half Rice" - Bam! The guy with glasses was a bit flustered, but he still managed to show off his skills. The perfect balance of flavors with the requested light taste was spot on! The irresistible pork bone aroma hits you right in the feels. The noodles are on the shorter side, but that's part of Yamaokaya's charm - they fit perfectly in your mouth with each bite. The generous amount of white negi on top, sprinkled with a bit of doubanjiang for a self-service spicy kick. Do the same with the half rice. Roll it up with seaweed and enjoy. I have to say, the default ramen hasn't increased in price, the taste is right up my alley, and there's really nothing to complain about! Once again, I am completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal!＼(^o^)／#RamenYamaokayaMinami2joBranch #Yamaokaya #AddictedToYamaokaya #YamaokayaLover #SoySauceRamen #LightFlavor #LINECouponWhiteNegi #HalfRice #ShikaoGlasses#binRamen2023https://mrbin1203.com/?p=38674

On this day, my appetite was wide open from the morning! So, after doing that thing over there and feeling like that, I went for a morning hike ( ・∇・) "Shoyu Negi Ramen + Half Rice" Bam! The ramen is served with a light flavor only! The presentation is quite nice, isn't it? The rich pork bone soy sauce soup with the flavor of green onions and the aroma of sesame oil is amazing. The unique short noodles are easy to slurp and the flavor of the green onions is just right. I could eat two bowls of rice with this alone. The half rice also... ends up like this. Roll it up with seaweed (*^^)v I am very satisfied once again. Thank you for the delicious meal. #RamenYamaokayaNan2joStore #YamaokaFamily #YamaokaFamilyAddict #YamaokaFamilyOnly #WantToConnectWithPeopleWhoLikeYamaokaFamily #ShoyuNegiRamen #NegiRamen #OTR

Creamy tonkotsu ramen with a lot of back fat. If you visit this place thinking it's a "home-style" ramen based on the smell and rumors, you might be surprised by how light it actually is. Recommended for big eaters as a satisfying meal. Rumor has it that their morning ramen is delicious.

On this day, I wasn't feeling very hungry in the morning. When that happens, I usually go for something light... you know. I sat at the counter next to the guy with the thick-framed glasses from Shikao. For my ramen, I ordered it with a light flavor and firm noodles. "Morning Ramen" - here it comes! The ramen was so good this morning! Especially when there are young ladies as customers, the energy level goes up and the ramen turns out amazing. I finished it without needing any extra seasonings - it was that delicious. I'm very satisfied.

Ramen Yamaokaya Minami 2-jo Shop Soy Sauce Ramen ¥690 LINE Coupon: 5 Sheets of Seaweed for Free Half Rice ¥130 I felt like having the default soy sauce ramen this morning after a long time. Well, I got hooked by the LINE coupon, to be honest. I only ordered the soy sauce ramen with the LINE coupon for 5 sheets of seaweed and half rice. Voilà! When the cool-headed brother with glasses makes the soy sauce ramen, it's really delicious. On the other hand, when he's flustered, he always messes something up. The best thing about the LINE coupon is getting 5 sheets of seaweed for free. I wrap the half rice with chashu and chili bean paste and eat it. And in the end, I roll up the seaweed soaked in soup and eat it. I was very satisfied this time too.

- Date: 2023/05/24/WED - Restaurant: Ramen Yamaokaya Minami 2-jo Store - Dish: Shrimp Salt Ramen ¥930 Feeling a bit tired of shrimp-based ramen, I decided to give it a try when I heard it was a limited-time menu. I ordered the "Shrimp Salt Ramen" with a request for a lighter flavor. The aroma that rose up was unmistakably shrimp. The soup seemed to be based on Yamaokaya's salt broth with only the oil having a shrimp flavor. As the oil on the surface diminished, the shrimp flavor also seemed to fade. The noodles, seemingly specially made for this dish, did get a bit heavy towards the end, but I really enjoyed the texture and taste of the seaweed from Sanriku. Overall, I realized once again that I might be getting tired of shrimp-based ramen.

- Date: 2023/05/11/THU - Restaurant: Ramen Yamaokaya Minami 2-jo Store - Dish: Wadashi Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen (¥880) I heard that they were about to stop serving this dish soon, so I went to try it. Since I had already tried the tsukemen version before, I was curious about the regular ramen. The tsukemen had a strong sweetness in the dipping sauce, which was a bit of a concern for me. Now, for the "Wadashi Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen"! The aroma that rises up is similar to buckwheat noodles. From the aroma, I could imagine that the umami of the dashi was stronger than the pork bone, and the soy sauce base was quite sweet, completely unlike the usual Yamaokaya soup. The noodles used were a whole wheat type with a color closer to soba noodles, and the texture and slurping sensation were not bad, but it might be giving off a soba noodle vibe. Even with a light flavor request, the sweetness was quite strong, so I might prefer getting extra soup and eating it that way. So, this limited edition was better in the tsukemen version! Thank you for the meal.

On this day, I was lured in by a LINE coupon and found myself strangely hungry in the morning. So, I added some gyoza and rice on top of my morning ramen with the coupon. The noodles were thin, the broth was light, and the pork was minimal, all without grated ginger. The only topping I added was seaweed. The shop was empty with no customers before or after me, and the cook was a cool guy in glasses. It was perfect. By skipping the grated ginger, I could directly taste the Tonkotsu soup of Yamakoya and enjoy the firm texture of the thin straight noodles. Then, I set up the gyoza and rice, making a sauce with less soy sauce and more vinegar. I dipped the crispy gyoza, which had a light yet flavorful filling, into the sauce and put it on the rice. I rolled the seaweed soaked in soup and ate it six times. Finally, I added a little chili oil and vinegar to the morning ramen for some self-tuning. I ended up feeling really full. I guess the rice portion is bigger in the morning... My brain, which never seems to learn, is seriously in trouble. Thanks for the meal!

Today I had spicy miso ramen at Tanukikoji. I ordered the noodles firm with extra lard. The perfect level of spiciness, the richness of miso, and the depth of pork bone flavor make it truly delicious. The green onions and seaweed-wrapped rice are also addictive. It seemed like the lone female staff was struggling, probably due to the time of day, but she still provided good service. The only downside is that the counter is too small.

I received a recommendation for the closing ramen from my favorite bar, but there are too many ramen shops I want to try in Hokkaido! Even though I always end up going somewhere else, I decided to visit after receiving a chashu ticket from the master. As someone who isn't a big fan of rich ramen like tonkotsu or keisei, I didn't feel particularly impressed. However, the green onions were good! They added a refreshing and deep flavor to the rich ramen. I think my lack of satisfaction may be because I'm used to eating more punchy ramen. They say you haven't truly been to Hokkaido until you've tried their ramen, so I recommend giving it a try.

Ramen Yamaokaya Minami 2-jo Shop in the morning Ramen ¥510 Topping free coupon 5 seaweed sheets ¥0 Half rice ¥130 They were giving out a lot of service coupons, so I was easily tempted. So, I went mountain climbing in the morning! "Morning Ramen + 5 seaweed sheets + Half rice" Bam! The ramen made by the guy with glasses who doesn't seem flustered is delicious with the perfect balance of soup and noodle texture. I like my ramen with the soup a bit light and the noodles firm, topped with 5 seaweed sheets using the free coupon. One seaweed sheet and umeboshi pickled plum wrapped in half rice like an umeboshi rice ball. Dip the remaining seaweed in the soup, wrap it around the remaining rice, and eat it. Once again, I am completely satisfied. Thank you for the meal.

On April 23, 2023, I visited Ramen Yamaokaya South 2nd Street branch to compare the miso ramen I had the previous day with their miso ramen. I ordered the miso ramen with extra sesame and no additional toppings except for 5 sheets of seaweed using a free topping coupon. I also ordered a half portion of rice. The plain miso ramen with extra sesame was delicious. The broth had a rich pork bone flavor, combined with the nuttiness of the sesame, making it really tasty. I enjoyed slurping the noodles and wrapping them in seaweed with rice. Overall, I prefer the original miso ramen over the one I had yesterday. It was a satisfying meal.

Ramen Yamaoka-ya Minami 2-jo Branch @ Morning Ramen ¥510 @ Weekends and holidays only / Gyoza and Rice ¥440 I realized that it had been over a week since I last visited (￣▽￣;) I couldn't break out of the morning breakfast loop, so I felt quite out of touch with my morning mountain climbing routine. And because I was really hungry, I decided to eat a hearty meal in the morning. "Morning Ramen + Weekend and holiday only Gyoza and Rice" Bam!ჱ̒ ｰ̀֊ｰ́ ) For the ramen, I ordered it with a light taste, firm noodles, and without any toppings except for seaweed and plum paste, and without the base grated ginger. By skipping the base grated ginger, I could taste the direct umami flavor of the pork bone salt soup. The firm noodles with a crunchy texture were also delicious. I enjoyed the rice with seaweed and plum paste from the ramen, and the gyoza dipped in soy sauce and vinegar. I devoured them all (*´ч`*) I was really hungry, so I finished the meal without even touching my fullness center. Once again, I was completely satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ [Link to the original review: https://mrbin1203.com/?p=37849]
