The lunch options for office workers are limited, so I went to Marunaga Honke, a soba restaurant, on a weekday. I arrived around 12:10 and there were 7 groups of 10 customers already inside, with 4 groups of 6 customers waiting. The restaurant has smoking seats, which may explain why it's always full during lunchtime. There are 4 male staff members (1 seems to handle deliveries) and 5 female staff members working. Today, I ordered the following: - Katsudon set for 1,200 yen - Soba (ramen is more popular than soba here) - Katsudon I can't remember the last time I had katsudon, and although the taste was good, a bit more rice would have been nice! It was delicious, thank you! I'll definitely come back again.

My favorite at Marunaga is ramen, but they also have a summer limited edition cold ramen. When a customer asked "Cold ramen? Cold noodles?" the staff seemed a bit confused. In Hokkaido, cold noodles are often called cold ramen, which can be confusing for people from Honshu. The taste of this restaurant's cold ramen was lacking in acidity and a bit bland, reaffirming that I prefer Marunaga's regular ramen. Thank you for the meal.

Oh, it's true. The place has been renovated and it's really impressive! The restroom is unnecessarily spacious, you could even have a meal there (lol). Anyway, I'm going to have ramen after a long time. It's still delicious. The person next to me is also having ramen, the person across from me is having cold noodles, and the person next to them is also having cold noodles. But this place is actually a soba restaurant.

[Soba-ya Marunaga Honke] Located near the Prince Hotel️ - Restaurant Name: Soba-ya Marunaga Honke - Address: 1F IC Heidens, 998 Minami 3-jo Nishi 9-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido - Business Hours: - Mon-Fri: 11:00-23:00 - Sat-Sun/Holidays: 11:00-22:15 - Closed: None This shop not only serves soba but also offers a variety of options like udon, ramen, curry, and set meals. The menu is extensive and can be hard to choose from. I ordered the Toritenju Soba Set for 1,200 yen️ It arrived in about 10 minutes. The soba tasted decent, with a standard broth flavor. It wasn't exceptionally delicious, but it had a consistent taste. The tempura had a nice sauce flavor, and the chicken tempura was delicious! Thank you for the meal #SapporoSoba #TanukikojiGourmet #FoodPorn #SapporoLunch #SapporoDinner #SusukinoGourmet #HokkaidoGourmet #SapporoGourmet

I occasionally use this place for dinner on my commute route, so I took a photo of it for the first time in a while. Here is a photo of the "Katsu Curry (950 yen)". The curry is the old-fashioned yellow roux type, with a mild spiciness and spice level, giving it a homely taste. It's delicious in a normal way, but personally, I prefer the "Ramen" at this restaurant.

The closing of a certain weekday drinking party is here at Marunaga Honke soba restaurant! On the way to a massage after drinking, I felt like eating something and casually entered around 10:20 p.m. There were 2 groups of 2 customers already inside, and 1 group of 1 customer arrived later. There were 3 male staff members (including one who seemed to be in charge of deliveries). Today's order was Katsu-don set for 1,200 yen. It's been a while since I had Katsu-don, and it was delicious as usual, but isn't the amount of rice a bit too small? Well, thank you for the meal!

Today's final meal was at Marunaga, a place I haven't been to in a while. It's a soba restaurant, but I always end up getting the ramen, haha. Even though it's a soba place, the ramen is so delicious. Today, I went for the salt ramen, feeling like something light. It's a taste that never disappoints as the perfect way to end a meal! Marunaga is a place I crave every now and then. ♬

Today was a hectic day at work and I hadn't eaten anything since morning... The restaurant I was planning to go to was closed twice in a row due to bad timing... It was already quite late and cold, and I was feeling hungry. I was looking for something warm and quick to eat, and that's when I stumbled upon "Sobadokoro Marunaga Honke" which I had always been curious about whenever I passed by for work. Fortunately, it was empty as it was late, and I was able to enjoy a hot bowl of soba with my favorite dashimaki tamago. The dashimaki tamago was fluffy and hot with a rich dashi flavor, which made me really happy. The soba came topped with two shrimp tempura, spinach, fish cake, and green onions, all served in a warm broth that warmed me up and left me feeling satisfied. I visited to escape the cold quickly, but I hope to come back again to enjoy a leisurely meal next time. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I visited a soba restaurant and found that they had a wide variety of menu items including soba, udon, ramen, set meals, curry, and rice bowls. I decided to order a mini zaru soba and a mini tempura chicken bowl. The restaurant seemed popular for lunch with many choices available. It was a nice dining experience. Thank you for the meal!

I chose the natto and grated radish soba. It was stable and delicious. It had been a while since I last visited, but this place has a wide variety of menu options that make it hard to decide. Apart from soba, they also offer rice dishes, donburi, udon, ramen, etc. And the prices are cheap and somehow nostalgic. It's a place where you never get tired of visiting, so everyone, please come and try it out.

●2022/08/27/SAT #188 ★Soba Restaurant Marunaga Honke @Vegetable Miso ¥950 It's been 3 years since my last visit. I had a feeling that I might end up meeting someone I didn't want to see, so I had been avoiding this place. However, this time there was a menu item I really wanted to try, so I mustered up the courage to visit again! I ordered the "Vegetable Miso" dish. For some reason, it took a really long time for the dish to be served on this day. I had a bad feeling after about 10 minutes passed... The taste was the same as before, with miso-based soup and chewy Sapporo-style noodles. However, the vegetables were overcooked and mushy, giving me the feeling of eating soggy stewed vegetables. I wonder if something happened while they were preparing the dish? It left me feeling a bit disappointed...

This shop is located near Chuo Ward Citizens' Center, in the same block as the hotel I often stay at, Hotel Rafinato. According to other reviews, the "soba shop's ramen" seems to be popular, but on this day, I was in the mood for soba, so I just ordered soba. ☆■ Katsu-don & Soba Set (1100 yen) The set allows you to choose between warm soba and cold udon. This time, I chose warm soba. It was delicious♪ The only downside was that smoking was allowed throughout the restaurant, so when a couple sat at the table next to mine and immediately started smoking after sitting down (I wished they would have waited until after eating...), I couldn't relax and ended up leaving soon after finishing my meal. Well, at least the smoke didn't drift over while I was eating... I stay at the nearby Rafinato almost every month, so if I have the chance, I would like to try the "soba shop's ramen" someday. Thank you for the meal☆

Happy New Year! I hope we can continue to have a good relationship this year as well. I got a bit drunk yesterday and couldn't greet everyone properly. But I am here to share my first review of the year! This time, I visited a popular soba restaurant that also offers a variety of drinking sets. I tried the "Drinking Set A" which includes one drink (I chose oolong highball) and three appetizers - braised beef tendon, garlic soybeans, and fried squid legs. The appetizers were all delicious and quite filling. As a final touch, I had their soy sauce ramen which was light and traditional. Overall, it was a satisfying meal at an affordable price. Cheers to more food adventures in the new year!

I visited for dinner after a long time, so I will just upload photos. I had the "Hiyashi Ramen (900 yen)", which is a summer limited menu, so I don't think it is currently available. I was imagining a classic cold Chinese noodle, but it was quite different from what I expected, with a slightly unique taste. I have tried various menus at this restaurant, but personally, I think the ramen is the most delicious.

I stopped by for lunch. I had salt ramen and a mini beef sukiyaki bowl (700+400 yen). The restaurant was almost full and the parking lot was overflowing. It took about 20 minutes to get my order. The salt ramen had a light soup with a strong dashi flavor, which was comforting. The noodles were slightly soft but still acceptable. The toppings included 2 slices of chashu, naruto, gluten, menma, and green onions. The chashu was flavorful, and there was plenty of menma that seemed to be simply salted. The beef sukiyaki bowl was a bit too sweet for my liking. Overall, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

This place has a wide variety of menu options. I came here specifically for the ramen, so I didn't have any trouble deciding. The ramen from this little-known soba shop is quite popular. As soon as I took a sip of the soup, I couldn't help but say, "Delicious!" It has a nostalgic old-fashioned ramen taste. With such a variety of options, you'll want to try them all. Highly recommended restaurant.

Sapporo is also delicious for soy sauce ramen. I wanted to eat miso ramen, but many shops close at 8:00 pm, so I chose this shop which is known for its soy sauce ramen. I was looking at the menu and was debating whether to get miso, but then a customer who sat in front of me ordered soy sauce, so I followed suit and ordered soy sauce. The appearance is different from Tokyo's soy sauce ramen, with a hint of oil floating on top that looks delicious. The soup is light but very tasty. It was the first time I saw wheat gluten in ramen. There were 2 slices of chashu. I was very satisfied with this deliciousness for only 700 yen. The taxi driver was also eating something. It's great that they're open until 11:00 pm. By the way, the young man who sat in front of me, after eating for a while, discreetly put something, I'm not sure if it was ramen toppings or noodles, in a plastic bag, paid, and left. All that was left was the wheat gluten and soup. I wonder what that was.

Wandering new curry mania/fresh ramen mania, a solitary middle-aged man. This is a memo-like review from the old man. If you are looking for concise information about the restaurant and dishes, please move on to other people's reviews around here. Now, inspired by the delicious ramen information provided by 'Washio Jiro', I decided to visit. With the slogan "ramen at a soba shop," there was something that strangely attracted me. Actually, just before reading the review, a little while ago. After visiting "Sankakuyama Goemon Ramen", I started moving towards the next destination, but stopped when I felt a mismatched atmosphere and glanced around. "Oh, there's a soba shop here," I realized. Then, right at that moment, I saw the review. Ah, I remember the sight of a single person dining. At a soba shop where my colleagues and I would stop after a drinking party, for some reason, there were people eating ramen. "The ramen here is surprisingly good," they would say. Even though it was well past midnight and high in calories, one of them would always choose between the special tendon (extra large) or soy sauce ramen (extra large) at that shop. But at that time, I stubbornly refused to eat ramen, thinking, "A soba shop is for soba." So, I thought, "I should try it once," and visited this time. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to visit a place that caught my interest and to overcome my aversion to trying new things. It was a sunny day with a temperature of 26°C, not too humid, and the usual refreshing breeze blowing through the city as I casually rode my bike. It's about a 30-minute ride from my home. The location is in Chuo Ward, Minami Sanjo Nishi 9-chome. It's just a few meters south of "Sankakuyama Goemon Ramen". It's in a building that feels a bit rigid, with a storefront. I arrived around 12:40 p.m. The interior has a large table with 8 seats in front of the entrance, 3 table seats on the left, and a raised seating area with 4 tables on the right. There is a counter near the entrance where sports newspapers are displayed, and there is hand sanitizer there. However, there were no partitions between the seats. Everyone seemed to be sitting with a subtle sense of distance. The previous customers were a solitary man and a group of three colleagues. It seemed like the peak had just passed. But then, more customers started coming in. By the time I finished eating, only a few seats at the large table were left, and it was almost full. Even though it was well past 1 p.m. What was that quietness in the 12 o'clock hour? The nearby grandpa brothers, the mother and daughter returning from shopping (the adult), and two middle-aged solitary men. Ah, I see. That's the kind of atmosphere here. Then, there were three couples in their late 20s. They all seemed to naturally fit in with the restaurant, whether they were regulars or not. The prices were normal, not particularly "cheap," but maybe because they have a variety of set meals. That means it's a shop with a good selection of tasty dishes. Now, onto the order. After briefly reading the reviews, there were mentions of shoyu and salt ramen. Following that flow, should I go for "miso"? But I've had miso ramen before... Oh, I should stick to my initial choice! No wavering! I ordered the Chashu (shoyu) for 950 yen including tax. Oh, just under 1000 yen. Good, good. Now, will the chashu be satisfying? Oh, the solitary man next to me also ordered the same thing. The ramen was served in about 10 minutes. Oh, the bowl has a nostalgic atmosphere. The chashu is mainly lean pork, there's fried wheat gluten, and naruto. Ah, it's close to the ramen I had as a child. If there's spinach and nori, it would be perfect. Now, let's try a spoonful of the soup. Oh, this taste is nostalgic too! It's delicious!

I was exploring around Nishi 10th street on a Sunday looking for a place to have lunch, and I stumbled upon Marunaga Honke, a soba restaurant! Even though it's a soba restaurant in Sapporo, they have cold ramen during the summer (laughs). I was curious about the ramen at a soba restaurant, but since other members ordered it, I went with the cold ramen! After ordering, I was a bit worried that it might be the cold version of ramen, but it turned out to be like Osaka's hiyashi chuka or Tokyo's reimen, so I was relieved (*^_^*). The taste was... similar to regular convenience store cold noodles. It seems they also have a good selection of snacks for drinking at night, so I'll come back next time to try their drinking set♪
