There were limited options for late-night dining, so I decided to visit this 24-hour restaurant. They offer a variety of dishes to choose from, and this time I opted for the one shown in the photo, which cost 814 yen. The quality leans more towards quantity, but it's a good option when you want to eat a lot at a low price.

I was supposed to go to a ramen shop, but since three shops were closed for the Obon holiday, I ended up going to Handaya. I chose the most popular item, the black beef curry, and a salad. Unfortunately, they didn't have Fukujinzuke. The black beef curry was rich and you could tell it was well simmered, it was delicious.

I went to Handaya for the first time! It's a set meal restaurant. It reminded me of the university cafeteria! Everything looked delicious and cheap, so if you keep choosing this and that, it might end up being quite expensive haha. There were a lot of men eating alone, but it seemed convenient for families with children, with cutlery, chairs, and a place to change diapers.

On 3rd July 2023, I went to the popular cafeteria "Handaya" at the Nishisen Nanajyo branch. I had the "Refreshing Dashi Cold Chinese Noodles" for 490 yen and the "Ginger Pork Bowl" for 350 yen. Before my motorcycle license test, I had to take a one-hour supplementary lesson, which is a paid service. I went for lunch before the lesson and it was quite crowded around noon. The season has arrived once again! I chose the donburi dishes, "Refreshing Dashi Cold Chinese Noodles" and "Ginger Pork Bowl". The cheap and unique feel of the meal was irresistible. The prices have gone up slightly from last year, but the sourness and umami flavors were satisfying, just the way I like it. I was torn between fried rice and the ginger pork bowl, but I went for the latter. The dish had a good amount of food, with well-seasoned pork belly and sweet and savory onions that paired perfectly. Thanks to this meal, I had the energy I needed for my afternoon lesson. Once again, I left the restaurant completely satisfied! Thank you for the delicious meal! #HandayaNishisen NanajyoBranch #Handaya #RefreshingDashiColdChineseNoodles #ColdNoodles #GingerPorkBowl #Donburi #DonburiDishes #Cafeteria

●2023/06/11/SUN#095★Popular Diner Handaya Nishisen Minami 7-jo Store@Tonkotsu Ramen ¥388@Curry Rice ¥368I felt like having cheap ramen from the morning! You might hear someone saying, "Just eat instant ramen at home then..." but I'll gracefully ignore that and head over here. I had already decided my order before entering, so no hesitation! "Tonkotsu Ramen + Curry Rice" Ta-da! It's really cheap, right? It's definitely leaning towards instant ramen, but you can't complain at this price, right? If I had to nitpick, I wonder if the noodles are okay with this. The curry rice has plenty of ingredients and is satisfying to eat. Getting full for under 800 yen is seriously amazing, right? Thanks for the meal!\(^▽^)/#PopularDinerHandayaNishisenMinami7joStore #Handaya #TonkotsuRamen #CurryRice #GreatValue#binRamen2023https://mrbin1203.com/?p=38514

On June 2, 2023, I visited the popular cafeteria "Handaya" at the Nishisen Minami 7-jo store. They were offering a limited-time menu starting in June, and this time I tried their "Spicy Mixed Noodles + Fried Squid + Rice (small portion)" set. The spicy mixed noodles had a surprising kick to them, with a soft pasta-like texture and great flavor. The fried squid was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and it was delicious when paired with a bit of soy sauce on the rice. I thoroughly enjoyed mixing the leftover ingredients from the spicy noodles onto the rice at the end. Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Thank you for the delicious food, Handaya Nishisen Minami 7-jo store! #Handaya #SpicyMixedNoodles #FriedSquid #Rice #RamenBin2023

- Date: 2023/05/19/FRI - Restaurant: Popular cafeteria Handaya Nishisen Minami 7-jo Store - Dish: Salted Tanmen Ramen ¥450, Extra Rice ¥100, Tamagoyaki (Japanese rolled omelette) ¥131 Handaya's limited-time noodles have a short serving period, so if you don't check frequently, you might end up missing the one you were looking forward to, which can be heartbreaking. That's why this time, I visited shortly after the start of the offering! My target was this: Salted Tanmen Ramen with Extra Rice and Tamagoyaki. Bam! The appearance alone gives off a low oil content vibe, seeming like a good choice for breakfast. The light salty soup is full of boiled vegetables that bring out a nice aroma. The noodles have a smooth texture, resembling champon noodles, and are quite satisfying. Personally, I prefer the vegetables to be stir-fried rather than boiled, but even with this, the cost performance is more than satisfactory. Moving on to the extra rice, I love to eat it with the sweet tamagoyaki and a little drizzle of soy sauce. I even think that just the rice and tamagoyaki alone would be enough. That's how much I like the tamagoyaki here. I was so full and satisfied from this meal in the morning. Thank you for the feast! #Handaya Nishisen Minami 7-jo Store #Handaya #Salted Tanmen Ramen #Extra Rice #Tamagoyaki #Tanmen #Great cost performance #bin Ramen 2023

●2023/05/12/FRI#067★Popular cafeteria "Handaya" Nishi-sen Minami 7-jo branch@Miso Ramen ¥388@Generous portion of ginger pork ¥350@Extra rice ¥100As the weather warms up, it feels like we have more freedom to move around in the morning. And if the weather is nice... even better. So, I decided to go to my favorite spot! I didn't have a specific dish in mind, so I chose my menu on a whim. Amidst all the options, I quickly simulated different combinations in my head. "Miso Ramen + Generous portion of ginger pork + Extra rice" Ta-da! The instant miso ramen here is simple and satisfying. The crunchy bean sprouts and bamboo shoots add a homey touch that I can't resist. The ginger pork has a nice balance of sweetness from the onions and uses pork belly, which is a standout. After enjoying the ginger pork with a bit of rice, I topped it all on my miso ramen, added some shichimi pepper for extra kick, and self-tuned my dish!!! It was incredibly delicious. I'm fully satisfied. Thank you for the meal! #Handaya cafeteria Nishi-sen Nishi 7-jo branch #Handaya #Miso Ramen #Generous portion of ginger pork #Extra rice #Self-tuning #binRamen2023

I started eating around 6:07 on Friday, April 28, 2023, but the time stamped on the receipt is significantly off from the current time by more than 10 minutes, making it almost useless as evidence for an alibi. I don't plan on telling the staff about this discrepancy. I wonder when the store manager will notice, or if they have noticed but are choosing to ignore it. I look forward to seeing how long this mismatched time stamping on the receipts will continue every time I eat here. The tempura soba seemed a bit heavy, so I opted for plain soba instead. To be honest, it was tastier than I expected.

I hate the one-second deviation of the radio clock I use. There are various theories about the origin of the familiar receipt in Japanese, but it is likely a long-standing custom to clearly record the date. In addition, recording the time is a sign of modernization. In recent years, it is estimated that unless the time is very old, there is no need for manual time correction. However, due to the introduction of advanced systems such as automatic cash processing systems in stores like my beloved Handaya, it is unlikely that there will be a stamp of a time different from the time received by customers on the receipt-like receipt distributed to customers. It is difficult to imagine. Although not strictly calculated, the mystery of a time stamp of nearly 10 minutes deepens as I am called to the pick-up window a few minutes after ordering. There may be some speculation about the background, such as thinking that some people do not take receipts or do not care about the time recorded on them. If you are too lenient, the extreme story is that if the food is good, other things don't matter. In short, if you give a receipt and record the time, you should clearly record the current accurate time. If you cannot do that, it would be better to just record the date. I don't want to nitpick about something that seems small, but if this situation continues, it is inevitable to judge as a foolish company like a person who does not turn off the lights when parking. If you think it's a small matter, then it's time to question the attitude of the company. I hope that Mr. Shuntaro Handa himself will see and feel this. I still love the cheap and satisfying meal at Handaya, and nothing has changed. There is no other place in Sapporo where you can eat such quality soba at 6 a.m. If you think I'm nitpicking, that's fine, but as long as you hand over money to customers, the accuracy of the date and time must be as accurate as the amount of money. Even though it is just a piece of paper, it contains the evidentiality for when it is needed. Sincerely.

On April 14, 2023, at 6:50 on a Friday, I responded to a call and received the "Spicy Miso Ramen" from the pick-up counter and served it at my seat. However, I didn't feel much spiciness in it. Even during my assignment in Sendai, I had tried a similar spicy miso dish, but it was gentle. The spiciness I imagined was achieved by adding a large amount of my own spice blend to the dish. Hantaya's value lies in its 24-hour operation, which accounts for about 80% of its appeal. The establishment of such an outstanding business that caters to those who want to eat is remarkable. And presenting suitable menus is reminiscent of the spirit of the Warring States period. While the noodles are not the low-hydration type I prefer, the ability to eat ramen within a time frame that seems impossible in terms of time and space is not a concern. It is important that the noodles have evolved from being like rubber bands in childhood to something more substantial. The notion that ramen is all about the soup is inevitable in the history of Japanese ramen. Even within this history, people have forgotten that noodles are an essential part of ramen and have made the soup the main focus. We humans are creatures easily influenced by our surroundings, and in the current state of affairs, we are at the pinnacle of living beings, with our mistaken understanding due to our intelligence. It is inconceivable to think of eating anything other than noodles when faced with them. The brain processes external information that has been inserted, leading to self-satisfaction based on factors such as appearance and popularity. If someone were to try to eat soup spaghetti, would they drink the broth first because it is soup spaghetti? I have only eaten soup spaghetti a few times, and naturally, a ladle is not provided. Most likely, in Japan, only ramen is subject to such performances, appearances, and trends like "I know how to eat ramen" for Instagram. It is a sad characteristic of the Japanese people who believe in misinformation. Ultimately, how one eats food is a matter of personal choice. The Japanese have a history of rejecting uncouth eating habits and manners, but there are those who simply do not care and uphold their individual freedom. This is the freedom of human beings, with a certain level of intelligence using tools such as chopsticks to eat. In modern-day Japan, it is challenging to adhere strictly to the practice of drinking the broth first, a teaching that may have been established through rigorous Zen training for Zen Buddhist monks. I never quite felt comfortable with the idea of drinking the broth first when learning martial arts. I rebelled, saying, "I eat rice first, and I can't tolerate such coercion." Do young people who drink the soup first when eating ramen do so because it has always been that way for them? It is understandable for the younger generation, as they have grown up seeing others do it, making it the norm. Since I can remember, I have always eaten noodles first, and that has not changed. Therefore, drinking the soup first with a ladle when eating ramen seems like a pretentious act to me.

Starting to eat at 6:25 on Wednesday, April 12, 2023. The timestamp on the photo may not be accurate, but it seems that the time on the receipt is not the current time. It doesn't seem like I waited 13 minutes. I sat down and shortly after, the 6th customer was called. I was impressed by how fast the soba was served. This might be my first time at Handaya, and the quality is very high. If I can get such good noodles and delicious tempura for only 343 yen, I have decided in my heart that I will visit again and again.

I received this top-notch ramen for 390 yen at 6:36 on Friday, April 7, 2023. The noodles are just to my liking, not the low-hydration type, but not the rubbery kind that I dislike, so it's excellent. I didn't realize that Handaya, which I relied on a lot during my assignment in Sendai, was along my commuting route. It is highly likely that I will continue to use it in the future.

The curry and set meal menus are cheap and have a wide variety, so I use them occasionally. This time, I tried the miso ramen on purpose (lol). It's just really cheap. Taste is a matter of preference, so there may be mixed opinions. The pork miso soup is really good. Personally, I prefer the pork cutlet curry or set meal.

After finishing work around 11:30 pm, I was driving home and trying to decide between beef bowl or ramen for dinner when I suddenly remembered this restaurant. I immediately changed course and headed there. The restaurant was located at Nishi-sen Minami 7-jonishi 15-chome, with a train running nearby. I wondered if in a hundred years, trains running on iron rails would become a thing of the past, just like how we now see steam-powered cars with wooden wheels. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find a spacious parking lot. Inside the restaurant, there was a wide variety of dishes displayed on the right and left. From curry rice to mixed rice, ramen, udon, salads, side dishes, and soups, the selection was overwhelming. Following my new diet focused on reducing sugar intake, I opted for dishes like boiled egg salad, sesame-flavored nanohana, and garlic stir-fried pork. The total cost of my dinner was 420 yen. It was a satisfying meal.

After sports, I always go to Handaya for lunch. I replenish my amino acids with miso soup and protein with fish. I always get a regular size miso soup even if I choose a mini rice. I want to go once a week. It's become my regular spot, even though I posted about the Sapporo Factory store, I didn't post about this one. I should also post about the Okurayama store. When I want to eat miso soup and fish, I go to Handaya! I generally avoid carbs for dinner, so when it comes to eating out, my only options are ramen, sushi restaurants, or teishokuya. When I think about all this, having a place like Handaya where I can adjust my nutrition is incredibly valuable! It's easy to go to and when considering the nutritional aspect, it's a 5 out of 5! I can't live without Handaya \(//∇//)\ If possible, I hope they open a store in the western part of Sapporo (＞人＜;)

●2022/10/20/THU #224 ★Popular diner Handaya Nishisen Minami 7-jo branch @Inspired hearty ramen ¥530 + Fried rice ¥180 + Tamagoyaki (Japanese omelette) ¥90 A limited menu offered regularly at Handaya. This time, it seems to be an inspired ramen dish ( ｰ̀ωｰ́ ). Before heading to work, I hopped on my beloved motorbike and LET'S GO! Before heading out, I made sure to refuel my bike first. Here's what I ordered: "Inspired hearty ramen + Fried rice + Tamagoyaki." Boom! The limited menu also seemed interesting, but lately, I've been ordering tamagoyaki a lot when I come here. Isn't it rare these days to have this sweet, nostalgically delicious tamagoyaki? Anyway, let's dig in. The soup doesn't feel as hearty as expected, with a soy sauce base similar to the default, but with a slight sweetness from the added lard and a hint of grated garlic that gives it a somewhat inspired vibe. The noodles also didn't seem different from the default ones, and I honestly didn't feel much of a difference in that aspect. However, I personally didn't enjoy the raw, grassy taste that came through when biting into the vegetables. The thin slices of char siu were within acceptable limits. Moving on to the fried rice, I tried reheating it after a long time. As a fan of fluffy rice, I must say that reheating it didn't make much sense. But, I still really love this sweetened tamagoyaki... I absolutely adore it. Thanks for the meal. •*¨*•.¸¸♬︎

On 2022/10/08, I went to the popular cafeteria Handaya located at the Nishisen Nanajyo branch. I ordered the "Mini rice bowl" for 120 yen, "Pork soup" for 174 yen, "Fried horse mackerel" for 180 yen, and "Medium-grain natto" for 70 yen. It's nice to have a breakfast other than ramen once in a while. I love riding my mistress No.5 and heading to Handaya. The choices I made were the "Mini rice bowl, Pork soup, Fried horse mackerel, and Medium-grain natto." Delicious! I actually quite like the pork soup at Handaya. It feels quite healthy, doesn't it? The fried horse mackerel is surprisingly crispy even though it's pre-made. And natto with rice, a dish that truly makes you feel Japanese (*^^)v. But you know, I can't help but feel a bit awkward calling it "pork soup." Isn't it more like "pig soup"( *¯ ꒳¯*)? Well, that's just my silly talk. I'm very satisfied. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Halfway through the review, I had a bad feeling. The problem with serving it hot is quite obvious, as the noodles end up sticking together and becoming mushy, which is not good at all. The broth itself is pretty good, but it's a shame about the noodles. I ended up adding some free chili oil to the dipping sauce to try and improve it. In the end, I just ended up dumping all the noodles into the sauce and eating it that way. This experience made me realize that for me, cold noodles with warm broth are a must. Despite this, I'll probably still come back to Handaya. Thanks for the meal!

I want to skip this article. It just didn't suit my taste at all. The sweet part of the "Sweet and Spicy Minced Meat Eggplant Ramen & Half Curry" stood out too much, making me feel like I was eating something sweet. If they had removed the sweet part, it would have been closer to my preference. I tend to strongly sense sweetness in food in general, so I struggled with it. Despite that, I managed to finish everything except the soup, relying on the power of the curry rice. It was a disappointment after a long time. However, I will still come back again.
