The impactful appearance of the store drew me in. I was a bit unsure about what to order from the vending machine style ticket system, but I ended up choosing the soy sauce with green onion ramen. The ramen was served quickly. After taking a sip of the soup, I was convinced that this ramen was definitely delicious. Despite being soy sauce-based, it was rich and had thick noodles similar to udon. This must be a style of ramen called "home-style". I didn't order the small rice this time, but it seems like a must-have with home-style ramen. Next time, I'll definitely order the small rice and some gyoza as well.

Visited the restaurant late at night on a weekday. There were 3 groups of customers, mostly young men. The menu offered a unique twist with local ingredients, reminiscent of a small independent ramen shop despite being a franchise. The ramen had the typical options to choose noodle firmness, soup richness, and oil level, but I opted for the standard. The ramen arrived promptly with toppings like chashu, seaweed, cabbage, spinach, and a small amount of garlic paste. The garlic paste helped enhance the flavor, but I wished there was a bit more of it. The ramen itself was exemplary for this type of ramen shop, with a rich and collagen-filled broth and thick noodles. I found the saltiness a bit lacking in the standard version, but that can be easily adjusted by ordering a stronger flavor next time. The rice, although a small portion, was of good quality and tasty. Overall, the restaurant had a chain-like feel but maintained a level of quality typical of a proper ramen shop. The cleanliness of the restaurant was also impressive, but there may be room for improvement in terms of the energetic customer service and the roughness, greasiness, and dirtiness that are often associated with ramen shops. This is a challenging aspect of running a ramen restaurant.

I was already familiar with house-style ramen before coming here, but I had always avoided it while in Obihiro. However, I decided to give it a try and was pleasantly surprised! The gyoza was exceptionally delicious, raising my expectations for the ramen. As expected, I was able to fully enjoy the nostalgic aroma, soup, and noodles of house-style ramen. It's great to know that even in Tokachi, you can enjoy authentic house-style ramen. I'll definitely visit again when the mood strikes!

During a business trip, I had "Shoyu Ramen for 840 yen" for lunch. My junior colleague, who always takes care of me, is a nice guy who reads my reviews. As we were talking about ramen as usual, he mentioned, "I actually love Ike-men ramen" and "I go to Sanadaya regularly." I couldn't remember the last time I had Ike-men ramen, so I got excited and decided to try Sanadaya for the first time. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen without any modifications. First, I tried the soup. Wow, it's been a while since I had Ike-men ramen, and it's great! The pork bone soup has a nice level of richness, and the unique shoyu sauce is perfect for "The Ike-men" soup. Next, I tried the thick noodles. This is the real deal Ike-men ramen! The unique chewy texture goes well with the soup. The chashu pork had a subtle flavor, and the combination of seaweed and soup was unbeatable. The spinach, a staple of Ike-men ramen, was delicious too. It's been three years since I last had this. That texture has come back (laughs). I kept eating enthusiastically. Of course, I finished every last drop of the soup. "Thank you for finishing," they say here. They call finishing the soup "kanmaku." They mentioned that you get various rewards if you collect stamps. I might end up visiting regularly now (^^)/

I visited Sanadaya, a ramen shop on the national highway in Obihiro for the first time (* 'ᵕ' )☆ They have a system where you purchase your desired items using a ticket machine. I ordered miso ramen with extra toppings like char siu and green onions (ﾉ≧ڡ≦)☆

The exterior of the restaurant is eye-catching, so I had been wanting to go in a few times but never did until today, my first visit! It was my first time trying a family-style ramen. I was a bit confused about how to order with the food ticket system, but since it wasn't too crowded during lunchtime, I asked a staff member for help and they kindly explained everything to me. The staff member was very friendly and made me feel welcomed. I ordered the recommended salt ramen and gyoza. For the ramen, you can customize the thickness of the noodles (thick or thin), the firmness (hard, normal, or soft), the soup richness (strong, normal, or light), and the amount of fat (more, normal, or less). I went with the recommended "thick noodles" and set the rest to "hard", "strong", and "more"! (For those who are unsure or first-time visitors, I recommend following the shop's recommendations.) The ramen was quite rich and creamy, with the noodles soaking up the flavorful soup well. It's a pork bone-based cloudy salt ramen that is addictively delicious! However, it was too rich for me, so I couldn't finish the soup completely. There are various condiments on the table such as vinegar, garlic, spicy sauce, doubanjiang, pepper, etc., so you can create your own original bowl of ramen! The gyoza had lots of vegetables and was juicy with meat juices overflowing. It was delicious. The different combinations of flavors make each bite unique, and the addictive taste makes you want to come back a few more times to explore further. Thank you, Sanadaya!

First time trying house style ramen! I went about 30 minutes after the opening, so it was still empty! I bought a meal ticket and was seated right away. I accidentally chose thin noodles, even though it was written that thick noodles are the standard for house style ramen, so I thought, "Oops!" while waiting. But when the ramen arrived, I was surprised! Even though they were thin noodles, they were closer to thick noodles in thickness, in my opinion! They were just right, not too thick so they were easy to slurp! The soup was also smooth and delicious! I tried a bit of the miso ramen my husband ordered, and it was tasty with a hint of ginger. The seasoned egg I got for following them on Twitter was super delicious! I'm not a fan of garlic, so I didn't add any, but when I added a little bit of pepper, it somehow tasted like carbonara. Maybe because it was creamy? I want to try a different menu next time! I read in another review that the staff see you off when you leave, and it's true. It's a great restaurant!

I ordered the most eye-catching item from the ticket vending machine. Black-charred soy sauce ramen with seasoned egg topping (1040 yen). It arrived in about 5 minutes. The rich pork bone soup is my favorite! It feels more like the liquefied fat rather than boiled bones, haha. The fried garlic adds a strong punch, while the seaweed and spinach try to bring out a gentler taste. I think it's a good combination. The noodles are thick and chewy. They are firm and leave a slight hardness in the mouth. The spinach, although pre-boiled, was a bit too mushy, which was disappointing. I wish it had a bit more texture. I think spinach plays an important role in this ramen. It's a vegetable in the rich fatty soup and not a common choice for ramen. Maybe it's difficult to individually cook the spinach for each order? The egg was a bit too firm, which was a bit disappointing, haha. The chashu looked high in calories, and as a recommended flavor change, they suggested adding soy sauce, pepper, vinegar, and garlic. Pepper tightens the flavor. I like it. Vinegar mellows the taste. It's like adding it to yakisoba with sauce. If you're looking for a strong punch, it might be better to leave it out. This is what they call "Iekei" style. People's preferences may vary, but I think it's a dish that you won't easily encounter outside of Obihiro Tokachi.

This is a Yokohama-style ramen shop in Obihiro that I've been curious about for a while! With its location facing the national highway and flashy exterior, it's very easy to find, haha. Since it's my first time at this shop, I decided to go with their recommended menu item, the MAX Ramen with shoyu flavor. It's a regular ramen with extra nori, chashu, and a flavored egg added. When the ramen arrived, I noticed that the bowl seemed a bit small, but is that normal? However, the taste was delicious! The rich and slightly creamy pork bone soup had a nice salty shoyu flavor, especially since I ordered it with extra flavor. Adding garlic made it even more delicious! The chashu was incredibly tender and melt-in-your-mouth, and the spinach and nori, soaked in oil, paired perfectly with the ramen. It was delicious! I would definitely like to visit again if I have the chance. Thank you for the meal!

It's a place that I often pass by, and finally decided to visit during the busy lunch hour on a weekday. I stared at the ticket machine for a while and ordered the thick noodles with pork bone salt soup, firm noodles, and extra fat. The gyoza and rice were also delicious. The staff's customer service was very pleasant. The thick noodles were just as expected! The soup was rich and different from other pork bone ramen places. They also provided various ways to enjoy the meal at the table, making it a fun dining experience for families.

There is a recommendation from the restaurant on the table suggesting that eating the dish as it is recommended! Once you get used to it, it's also fun to customize it to your liking! There are both thin noodles and thick noodles available, and this time I ordered the traditional thick noodles. Next time, I will challenge myself with the thin noodles!

Are you even going after the Sanada family lineage? It's a bit of a posh lineage, isn't it? I'm alone in Obihiro. I'm thinking of restarting skiing, but it's expensive to buy, so I asked my kids if they had any hand-me-downs, and it turns out my eldest daughter's husband is giving me his skis. If I go to Obihiro, I'll ski at a nearby ski resort and bring them along... So, I'm late because I got caught up in snow removal, so I had ramen alone for lunch. They're at the Memuro ski resort. I chose "Sanada-ke" because they have thin noodles. If they have thin noodles, I'll give it a try. I'm a bit of a sleazy old man, but a shop that claims to be a family and prepares thin noodles seems a bit posh. I've seen this family before. It has a tacky exterior. It's quite big inside. There's only one parking space left at 1:30. The counter is divided into two sections, with 7 seats and 4 seats. There are two 4-person tables, four 6-person booths, and one raised seating area in the back. The BGM is loud. It arrived in 3 minutes. Family ramen... that was fast. I ordered thin noodles, so the noodles are a bit too thin. The spinach is homemade and delicious. Is it a family thing to not have menma? The chashu is small for me. The nori is standing upright in three sheets. The soup is a bit lukewarm if you drink it on its own. You can smell the tonkotsu when it arrives, but it's not noticeable when you eat it. It's thick and creamy. The shoyu flavor is mellowed out by the tonkotsu. Yes, the family's soup is delicious. Everyone else thought it was just okay, but I think even firm noodles would be good. It would be even tastier with onions, but then the soup would have to be hotter. It was delicious, so I gave it a 3.8. They asked if it was good, as if they didn't trust me. I gave it a 3.9 for trusting me.

There was a big sign outside that caught my attention, "Yokohama Family Line Sanada Family," but I never had a chance to go until now. I had some business nearby so I decided to give it a try and visited for the first time. As soon as I entered, there was a vending machine where I bought a ticket. I decided to go for the basic ramen, but I chose the salt flavor this time. I sat down and a young energetic male staff member came to take my order. He mentioned that everything was complimentary and recommended the salt ramen with extra sesame. When I asked for extra sesame, he seemed a bit confused at first. He then pointed out that the condiments were on the table for free. It made me realize that the table condiments were complimentary at most places, so there was no need for any misunderstanding. You can choose the firmness of the noodles, the richness of the flavor, and the amount of fat in the soup. But when trying a new place, I prefer to go with the standard options to get a taste of their basic flavor. The ramen arrived without much wait. The noodles were thick, different from Hokkaido ramen. The soup was a rich, creamy pork bone salt flavor, very delicious! The toppings included seaweed, spinach, and chashu pork, but with the variety of condiments on the table, it was more than enough. I especially recommend the chopped ginger, which adds a nice warmth to the soup in the cold season. My companion had the chashu pork noodle in salt flavor and the soy sauce ramen, both of which were enjoyable. The young and energetic male staff member even escorted us to the entrance, which was a nice touch not often seen at ramen shops. If you want to savor thick noodles and rich soup, be sure to give this place a try. You can customize your noodles, richness, and fat levels to suit your preferences. Enjoy!

I had the experience of trying Yokohama-style ramen in Obihiro! I visited for lunch and ordered the max shoyu ramen, as I was craving soy sauce flavor. Despite the name, the portion size was small, with toppings of seaweed, egg, and spinach. However, the taste was just to my liking, rich and flavorful. The thick noodles were great! The manager recommended adding a spoonful of garlic, some pepper, and a little vinegar, which made for a nice flavor change! The vinegar balanced out the strong garlic taste nicely. It was a taste I had never experienced before and I was quite impressed. The bowl was small, so I ended up finishing all the soup without even realizing it! It was very delicious!! Apart from the name "max", it was a fantastic bowl of ramen!

Obihiro is a ramen shop that opened along National Route 38. Every time I pass by, I notice that the shop has changed. It's a prominent location, but I wonder why that is. I always wanted to stop by, but it's always full. Finally, I managed to enter by aiming for the 11:00 am opening time. I ordered the "Salt MAX Ramen (1,100 yen)" at the ticket machine. The atmosphere with lively music playing was great as I tried my first "kei-men" ramen. The soup was rich and the noodles were thick. It seems like this is a Yokohama-style ramen based on tonkotsu shoyu broth and thick straight noodles. I accidentally ordered salt flavor, but there were various condiments to enjoy. The soup was too rich for me to finish, but the punchy kei-men ramen was delicious. Thank you for the meal~

The other day, I visited a newly opened ramen restaurant specializing in "kaedama" style ramen for the first time. I had never tried this style of ramen before, so it was a new experience for me. I purchased a ticket for the pork bone salt ramen with thick noodles and ordered them cooked normally. The restaurant was quite spacious with a decent number of seats. I was seated at the counter, which had high chairs that might be uncomfortable for elderly customers. When the ramen arrived, it looked small at first glance, but the bowl was packed with noodles. The rich and delicious soup had a good amount of chewy thick noodles, almost like tsukemen. The balance of toppings like seaweed was perfect. You could also customize your ramen with condiments like minced ginger, onions, and sesame seeds on the table. I couldn't finish all the soup, but I enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the delicious food. I'll definitely come back again.

On September 1, 2020, I decided to support a new ramen restaurant that recently opened in Hokkaido. The restaurant is called "Sanadaya" and it specializes in Yokohama-style ramen. The exterior of the restaurant is eye-catching with a red sign, and the interior is clean and nicely renovated. I ordered the Chashu Ramen with thick noodles and it was served with pork belly chashu, chopped green onions, spinach, and seaweed. The noodles were thick and slightly firm, and the broth was a mild tonkotsu flavor. The staff were energetic and friendly, making the dining experience enjoyable. Overall, the ramen was delicious and I plan to come back to try their salt ramen next time.

I went to the Sanadake restaurant for the first time! It's a new Yokohama-style ramen shop that opened in Obihiro a few days ago, so I decided to check it out. They open at 11:30, but when I arrived at 11:20, there were already customers finishing up their meals and leaving. It seems like they were opening earlier than usual. At the entrance, the staff were explaining something about the ramen directly to the customers in front of the ticket machine. I ignored them and bought my meal ticket at the machine. I ordered the regular ramen for 790 yen, instead of the more expensive MAX ramen for 1,100 yen. I was seated quickly at the counter where you can choose between thick or thin noodles. I chose thick noodles, with normal firmness, normal flavor, and less oil. The staff, about 8 of them, seemed to be in full swing for the grand opening. It only took about 6 minutes for my meal to arrive. The bowl was relatively small, with yellow soup, 3 large pieces of seaweed, chashu pork, and spinach. The noodles were indeed thick, but not extremely so, and cooked just right to my liking. The soup was creamy without any pork bone smell, making it easy for anyone to enjoy. It had just the right level of richness, and the reduced oil made it less heavy. There were various condiments available, and I added some onions halfway through, which gave it a nice crunch. I couldn't finish the soup, but I learned that if you do, they stamp your card and after 10 stamps, you get a free bowl of ramen. I hope this shop, which seems to change frequently, becomes a stable presence in the area. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the Sanada family, which had a pre-opening from 8/26 to 8/28 and had its grand opening on 8/29. When I arrived around 11:30, I thought it would be the opening time, but some people were already finishing their meals and leaving. The parking lot was full in front of the restaurant and in the one-way street behind it, but there was someone guiding and allowing parking next to the neighboring mahjong parlor. During the wait in line, there was a tutorial on how to use the ticket machine. After the pre-opening period, you could only order soy sauce or salt ramen, with the option to choose toppings only. I chose the salt ramen with a seasoned egg. The soup was rich and flavorful, and the noodles were slightly firm at first but became soft and chewy as I ate. The ramen came with a slice of chashu, boiled greens, and three sheets of seaweed. I also added a seasoned egg, which was delicious with a slightly runny yolk. There were various condiments on the table for customization, and my friend's soy sauce ramen was very rich in flavor. We enjoyed our meal, and I received a stamp card for finishing my soup, which could be exchanged for a free ramen after collecting 10 stamps. Overall, it was a satisfying experience at the Sanada family ramen shop.

【Sanada Family Ramen at Obihiro】@Obihiro (Soy Sauce, Green Onion, Char Siu, Flavored Egg) A new ramen shop in Obihiro. This is the second day of the pre-opening. The soup has a good balance, but I prefer it to have a stronger soy sauce flavor. The noodles are short and thick, typical of a family-style ramen. There are some issues like the Char Siu being served cold, but I have high hopes for the future. The staff member who greeted us was full of energy and gave off a lively vibe, which is great for a ramen shop. Exciting times ahead! #TokachiGourmet #ObihiroGourmet
