I went for a walk in February 2023 and unexpectedly found a shop that was closed for a break, even though it wasn't mentioned anywhere. So, I decided to keep walking and ended up at Mihara-san's shop, probably after about 15 years. I remember THE Kushiro Ramen, but I was hungry and looking forward to a delicious meal. I ordered the Shio Chashu Ramen with a side of small rice for myself, and my partner ordered the Shoyu Ramen. We had to wait for a while, but it was worth it. In this era of price increases, the meal was surprisingly affordable. The shop was quite busy, with six groups of customers at around 3:30 pm. The slightly cloudy soup had a faint tonkotsu aroma. My partner's Shoyu Ramen arrived with a rich, slightly cloudy soup with plenty of lard floating on top. The noodles were white and thin, but had a good chewy texture that I liked. However, the chashu was disappointing as the fatty part was tough and not well-cooked. It was the first time I left chashu uneaten. My partner's Shoyu Ramen had a light Kushiro-style flavor with hints of pork, but it seemed different from what we remembered. The kitchen staff consisted of a young man and an older lady, so maybe there has been a generational change in the kitchen. Apart from the chashu, I would like to come back again to try the salt ramen, which is my favorite. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date March 19, 2022. I visited Mihara-san with a friend for lunch. We arrived around 12:15. There were 3 groups of customers before us and no customers after us. We ordered: - Char siu ramen (shoyu) 980 yen - Shoyu ramen 690 yen - Rice (organic rice) 220 yen The food was served in about 3 minutes. The shoyu ramen soup tasted like kombu dashi and was a bit salty. The menma (seasoned bamboo shoots) were desalted. The char siu was on the smaller side but flavorful. I quite like Mihara's ramen noodles. Overall, it was a simple and light ramen. I would recommend this place to those who like Kushiro ramen. Thank you for the meal.

I went to Mr. Mihara's for the first time! This day, things got a bit out of control and I started in the evening. I headed to the shop that closes at 5 p.m. When I arrived at "Mihara", the atmosphere was quiet in the shop. I ordered the Shoyu Ramen for 680 yen. It was ready in about 5 minutes. The ramen had a generous amount of soup and was on the lighter side. The noodles were on the thicker side, similar to Kushiro Ramen, and slightly soft. It was light but somehow satisfying. The soup was delicious. The chashu was a bit firm and had a slight smell. The green onions were tasty when soaked in the soup. The mother and son who ran the shop were very friendly and provided excellent service. It was a delicious light ramen. Thank you for the meal. Now, let's explore a little more!

Regular Oil Ramen for 680 yen. Noodles are the normal thin noodles from Mihara Seimen. Toppings include small slices of chashu, menma, and naruto. The soup is a light soy sauce flavor with a rich broth. The interior of the restaurant has three 4-seater tables, two 4-seater tables, and a counter for 5 people, making it larger than expected. The atmosphere inside is steamy and not particularly comfortable. Despite being a Kushiro ramen, the service is slow. For this price and taste, I might consider going to a different restaurant...

I had heard the name of this restaurant for a while but never had the chance to go. Today, I decided to try it out. I arrived before the 11 am opening time and was greeted by a woman who seemed to be the owner, saying, "Good morning. Please wait a little longer." Despite some negative reviews about the service, I found the staff to be friendly. The interior of the restaurant was clean and cozy. I ordered the "Salt Ramen" for 680 yen. The soup had a slightly salty and sharp taste to it, which was interesting. The noodles were thin and curly, and the toppings included chopped green onions, naruto, menma, and char siu. The char siu was a bit dry but had a good chewy texture. Overall, it was a simple and tasty ramen. However, I felt that 680 yen was a bit expensive for what was offered. I would like to try their miso and soy sauce ramen next time. The service from the owner was great. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

"Mihara" Kushiro Ramen, a journey to conquer all the stores. I'm alone in Kushiro and trying to visit all the stores. It's good to conquer all the stores, but I've already eaten at the main ones, so I feel a bit rude visiting only the minor ones that are left. Many of the stores I go to are closed, so it feels like a waste of time. This time, I did some research beforehand and had a feeling that there must be something good, so I visited "Mihara." The sign outside is blue, which doesn't really give me much hope. But when I saw that it's from Sanbara Seimenjo, I realized that it's a proper store that's still open. The exterior and interior of the store are clean and nice. There are 7 seats at the counter and 3 tables in the raised seating area. I ordered the Salt Ramen for 680 yen. The staff are working quietly, and there are two people in suits at the next counter. The ramen comes out after a bit of a wait, and surprisingly, it's not the usual Kushiro style ramen with a good chewy texture. The flavor is different too. The green onions are thinly sliced, and the naruto and menma have a subtle flavor and nice texture. The noodles need to be eaten quickly to avoid getting soggy. The chashu is small but flavorful. The soup is a bit salty but has a good umami flavor. Overall, it was a delicious salt ramen, but I feel like it's a bit overpriced at 680 yen.

I felt nostalgic and visited after a while. I had soy sauce ramen for 680 yen. The soup made me feel relieved. Maybe because of my age, I felt the taste was strong, so I asked for a lighter soup, and they said it would be better.

It's lunchtime. Today, I felt like having some light Kushiro ramen, so I decided to visit "Mihara" for the first time in about 10 years. I don't remember much from before, but I believe it was a regular Kushiro ramen place. It was a Saturday afternoon around 1 o'clock, and there were no cars in the parking lot, no customers inside, and even the owner was nowhere to be seen. After standing around for a while, the owner finally came out and greeted me. I sat at a table and ordered the shoyu ramen. As I waited, finally another couple arrived. It's not pleasant when it's too crowded, but it's also lonely when there's no one around. The shoyu ramen arrived shortly after. The noodles were the usual thin curly type, but the soup tasted like a mix of shoyu and salt. I prefer a stronger "shoyu" flavor. I felt like the broth lacked the aroma and aftertaste. The restaurant has tatami seating as well, so it's a comfortable place for families with young children. That's all for now.

I went on a Kushiro ramen crawl. Why? Well, there's no particular reason, just because Kushiro ramen is there. My stomach is already full, but I have to go to another place for Kushiro ramen, you know? I can hear a voice saying that. (I just had a jumbo bowl at another restaurant 30 minutes ago, by the way.) Well, that voice is from my end-of-the-century champion, you see. Here I am, about to order salt ramen... Wait, why did I order soy sauce ramen instead? Hmm, it tastes familiar. The soup is light and maybe has some seafood flavor? The whole dish has a strong smell of menma. Oh, I see now. Sorry to the fans, but I grew up in Hokkaido and I prefer medium-thick, rich ramen. I just can't get used to thin noodles. But my end-of-the-century champion said, "It's delicious!" He's from Kushiro, you see... I was insulted for having poor taste and left the restaurant with tears in my eyes under the blue curtain. A taste that feels nostalgic is important, right?

This was my first time trying ramen at a new restaurant in Kushiro. I had the transparent salt ramen, which had a light and easy-to-eat flavor. It wasn't incredibly impressive, but it had a gentle taste that was comforting. This ramen doesn't have a strong flavor, making it easy to recommend to others.

This place is in Chuocho, Kushiro City, but it may only be understood by Kushiro locals, so please check the map on Tabelog as usual. I have actually been to this restaurant before, about 25 years ago, and although it is not located along the main Ohtetsusen Street, it is a bit hidden in the back so it can be easy to overlook, but we managed to find it and parked our car in the front parking lot before heading into the restaurant. The restaurant has been rebuilt and looks impressive compared to when I last visited. Inside, I sat at the counter and looked at the menu, and as always, I ordered the "Shio Ramen". As we waited for our order, local customers kept coming in one after another, and we were the only ones who were tourists or not locals. The Kushiro Ramen arrived in about 4-5 minutes, with slightly cloudy soup revealing the characteristic thin curly noodles. I started by tasting the soup, which had a strong bonito flavor, followed by a light chicken broth flavor, and the overall umami taste seemed to be more subdued than before, with a slightly salty level of saltiness. Next, the noodles were perfect with the typical thin curly noodles from Sanemaru Seimen, which were easy to slurp. Finally, the toppings included two small slices of chashu, menma, naruto, and green onions, following the simple ingredient composition typical of Kushiro Ramen. As it was almost noon when we left the restaurant, the parking lot was already full and more customers were arriving. This restaurant was established in 1961, and has been loved by the local people of Kushiro for over half a century, so I hope it continues to thrive for many years to come.

I went to eat Kushiro-style ramen in the middle of January on a cold day. The interior of the restaurant had a new feel to it. I love chashu, so I ordered the chashu ramen without hesitation and it was ready in about 5-6 minutes. The chashu had a firm texture and didn't feel fatty, which was unique. The soup was based on bonito, typical of Kushiro-style ramen. It was a soup that didn't get boring even after drinking it. By the way, the chashu ramen cost 880 yen.

I felt like eating ramen, so I happened to pass by Sanbongi and decided to go in. The inside of the restaurant was quite spacious and clean, so I sat at the counter and looked at the menu. There were quite a few options, but I ended up ordering the shoyu ramen. After waiting for 10 minutes, the ramen arrived. It looked like a regular shoyu ramen with thin noodles and standard toppings. I took a bite. It was delicious! It was very light and easy to eat. The noodles were a bit soft, but overall, it was tasty! Thank you for the meal.

The other day, I went to this restaurant recommended by a friend. It was midday, so there were only me and another couple of customers. Despite the appearance of the exterior, the interior was quite spacious and had a relaxed atmosphere. I sat at the counter and ordered the spicy ramen. It arrived in about 5 minutes. The soup looked dark and seemed salty at first glance, but it was surprisingly light. The thin curly noodles were delicious, but I wish the chashu pork was a bit more tender and less dry. I enjoyed the soup so much that I finished it all. I would like to try the salt ramen next time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a ramen restaurant called "Mihara" this time, thanks to a friend's recommendation! The building was beautiful, but the parking lot was a bit small. Inside, the restaurant was surprisingly spacious for a ramen shop, and there were a lot of customers, so I realized it was popular. Since the tatami seating was full, I sat at the counter. Looking at the menu, they had soy sauce, salt, and miso flavors, as well as vegetable ramen, five-ingredient ramen, and chashu noodles, among others. This time, I went with the soy sauce ramen recommended by my friend. About 7 minutes after ordering, the ramen arrived. The soup was darker than I expected, and the appearance was simple, like a regular ramen. I took a bite immediately. Delicious! I'm not usually a fan of light ramen, but this one was really tasty! I finished every last drop of the soup too! If you like light flavors, you should definitely try this ramen! It was truly delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I used to visit this restaurant a few times in the past after being recommended by an acquaintance. I stopped by again after a long time. I parked my car in the parking lot in front of the shop and entered. The interior of the shop was bright, with 6 counter seats, 3 table seats, and 3 raised tatami seats. I sat at the counter and ordered the "Shoyu Chashu Ramen" (880 yen). The ramen was served in about 5 minutes. It was a typical Kushiro ramen. The soup was simple and slightly salty. The chashu was 5 slices of slightly dry chashu without much fat. The toppings included green onions, bamboo shoots, and narutomaki. The noodles were the usual thin curly noodles from Sanpei Noodle Shop. It was neither good nor bad, just an average simple Kushiro ramen. Even when the shop is not crowded, the customer service here has always been poor.

This is a ramen shop located near Nakazono and Kushiro Rosai Hospital in Kushiro City. The exterior of the building has a modern feel to it. Inside, the shop is quite spacious. They specialize in Kushiro-style ramen, which is a light broth flavored with bonito. Their soy sauce ramen is a popular choice. There are quite a few local fans of this place. When I visited, there were families dining together. They also offer onigiri on the menu. Personally, I prefer the lighter ramen at "○hira" though.

It's a typical Kushiro ramen, with a light soup and thin chili noodles. I had the miso ramen, which was also light and easy to eat. It was a bit crowded during lunchtime, so I had to wait a little. The restaurant is relatively clean and housed in a modern building. However, I was a little disappointed with the service attitude of the staff. They seemed a bit rude, maybe because it was busy during lunchtime. When they placed the water on the table, they did it with a loud thud, which was a bit surprising.
