I arrived at the restaurant a little after 12 o'clock. When I entered, there weren't many customers, but gradually more people started coming in, and before I knew it, the place was full. This restaurant is not part of the same group as Sanpachi in Bibai, so there is no ticket machine. I wondered about the taste as I ordered Chashu Miso with extra green onions on top. After waiting for 15 minutes, a black bowl filled with chashu and green onions on top of miso ramen was served. I added three tablespoons of garlic and sprinkled chili pepper five times before digging in. The noodles coated in the soup went smoothly into my mouth, and it tasted just like the usual Sanpachi flavor. It was delicious.

I am a fan of Sanpachi and I visit various Sanpachi locations. As you may know, Sanpachi is expanding through FC stores, but there are some stores where you cannot use the Sanpachi stamps or 100 yen discount coupons issued by Sanpachi. This was one of those stores. However, the classic miso ramen had a rich flavor similar to the main store. It was lunchtime, and there were many other Sanpachi fans like me visiting the store.

We visited "Ramen Sanpachi Takikawa" for a late dinner. I ordered the "C set meal (Miso ramen + Mini fried rice) for 1,060 yen", while my companion ordered the "Tonkotsu ramen for 830 yen". The miso ramen had a strong red miso soup with medium-thick curly noodles and plenty of vegetables. The fried rice was a bit firm and on the drier side. The tonkotsu ramen didn't have a strong tonkotsu flavor in the soup. It felt like something you would find at an old drive-in or roadside station.

I ordered the rock seaweed ramen. Sanpachi is known for having five slices of chashu, but this ramen only had one slice. I wonder if things have changed now? Or maybe regular ramen comes with five slices of chashu, but special ones like vegetable ramen or rock seaweed ramen come with only one slice? It's a well-known fact for those in the know.

I moved to Takikawa and am searching for a ramen shop. I'm relying on my memory of a place I went to before. The usual salt ramen with noodles that have a high water content, and the soup has a good salty flavor, just like the usual Sanpachi taste. The ankake yakisoba is also delicious. And the ice cream at the end is much appreciated. Thank you for the meal.

On a cold winter day, ramen is the way to go. So, after about a year, I went back to Sanpachi. This was my first time at the Takikawa branch, but no matter which location you go to, Sanpachi always delivers consistent flavors. However, this branch is different. Some of the tables are sunken kotatsu style. I always stick to my usual order: "Vegetable Ramen with Miso and Large Serving." It was lunchtime, and my order arrived within minutes. So fast! There's a generous amount of bean sprouts and onions, making it a bit of a challenge to reach the noodles, but the crunchy texture is what makes this ramen special. I scoop up the rich soup with lotus root, mixing it with the vegetables as I enjoy the meal. By the time I finish, I'm completely full. What surprised me after a long time was the price. With a large serving, it came to 1,100 yen including tax. Has the consumption tax gone up? Or maybe prices in general? Honestly, I thought it wasn't this expensive before. But even so, I'll probably end up ordering it again.

Driving along the road in Hokkaido, you often come across a ramen chain with a yellow sign. The restaurant is located in the suburbs, with a spacious parking lot in front, similar to "Dosanko" or "Kurumaya" in the Kanto region. I visited on a weekday afternoon with the simple purpose of satisfying my hunger, without much expectation. Inside, it indeed resembled the style of "Kurumaya". I sat in a raised seating area and looked at the menu. They offered ramen in soy sauce, miso, salt, and even tonkotsu flavors. The menu wasn't overwhelming, with a good variety of options. I ordered the "Original Soy Sauce Ramen" for 700 yen. The dish arrived promptly, with a rich and dark appearance. I was a bit hesitant at first, but surprisingly, the flavor wasn't as strong as I expected. It tasted like a typical ramen from a Chinese restaurant. I actually preferred it slightly over "Kurumaya". The complimentary ice candy after the meal was a nice touch. Interestingly, I was surprised to find the same restaurant in Nago, Okinawa during a recent visit, and even discovered they have branches in Ochanomizu and overseas.

Visited in April 2013. My niece, who had just started elementary school this year, stayed overnight with us from Friday night. Her birthday was the following Saturday, so we went to Takikawa with her and my mother. We went to Daiei, Daiso, and Homac. At Homac, we bought dry food for our cats and aquatic plants for our goldfish. We wandered around to various places. For lunch, we decided to go to "Sanpachi" since it seemed kid-friendly. It was a bit crowded during lunchtime, but we were seated promptly. My niece ordered the kids' miso ramen with gyoza, while my mother and I had the soy sauce ramen. The soy sauce ramen seemed a bit strong at first, but it turned out to be delicious. My niece, despite her small size, finished her ramen completely. She left half of her gyoza, so I ended up eating the rest. We received complimentary ice cream with the bill, which made my niece very happy. I would definitely like to take her to this restaurant again in the future. Thank you for the meal.

We visited Sanpachi Ramen. It has been a few years since it opened in Takikawa, but this was my first visit. When I used to live in Sapporo, I would go there quite often. About 20 years ago, there weren't many ramen shops, so Sanpachi was the go-to place for ramen. The menu is extensive and it's hard to decide! But my family is quite conservative. My second and third daughters chose soy sauce ramen. They actually prefer miso ramen, but sometimes it can be too spicy, so they played it safe with soy sauce ramen. The soup is dark but surprisingly light in taste. My eldest daughter chose miso ramen. She's a miso enthusiast and she really enjoyed it. My husband went for salt ramen. It was light and he found it a bit lacking in flavor. As for me, I of course went for spicy miso ramen! Surprisingly, it wasn't spicy at all. The broth was rich and delicious! Very satisfying. My second daughter wanted to try the fried rice, so we ordered that too. Why is it that fried rice at ramen shops is always so delicious? Sanpachi's fried rice had a lot of bean sprouts, almost more than the rice itself. For those with small appetites, I recommend eating around the bean sprouts and focusing on the noodles instead! (laughs)

Today, my family and I had lunch at the "Ramen Sanpachi Takikawa" in Takikawa. It's a popular spot in Takikawa, so there was a bit of a wait, but we were seated in about 10 minutes. I ordered the soy sauce ramen in a large size, my mom had the miso vegetable ramen, my older sister had the tonkotsu ramen in a large size, my other older sister had the regular tonkotsu ramen, and my youngest sister had fried rice. We also ordered three servings of nori mayo. Everything was delicious, especially the ramen, nori mayo, and fried rice. The kids' favorite part was getting their own individual corn on the cob to enjoy.

I recently got hooked on ramen and felt like visiting "Sanpachi," a place I used to go to a lot when I was a child, so I dropped by around 2 p.m. The atmosphere was just like it used to be, and I felt comfortable. I ordered the "Shoyu Ramen" for 700 yen, and my companion ordered the "Miso Ramen" for 700 yen. The shoyu ramen had a rich flavor which was great! It lacked a bit of richness, but the seasoning was tasty. The miso ramen was also delicious with a rich flavor and a lingering aftertaste. Lastly, we were served complimentary ice cream. Thank you for the meal~ We'll definitely come back again~♪

I had some business in Takigawa and after finishing it successfully, I thought of having a meal somewhere. I found "Sanpachi" and decided to eat there. The parking lot was quite spacious. I looked at the menu and saw a delicious-looking soy sauce ramen. I ordered it right away. I remembered seeing mentaiko rice or something like that on the menu too... I should have tried it. The soy sauce ramen I was looking forward to was delicious as expected. The color looked rich but it wasn't too heavy. The meat was thick and the nori was crispy. The atmosphere of the restaurant was nice too. When I finished paying, the staff gave me a free ice cream. Thank you. If you have time, please visit this place.
