I arrived at the store around 3:00 PM on July 2023♪ There was one group of customers before me and one group after me. I came to buy skewered dumplings, but they were already sold out (ŏ﹏ŏ). Since it was already late, there was nothing I could do. However, I decided to buy white daifuku and cut rice cakes instead♪ The customer before me was eating ramen, and the smell was really delicious (๑･﹃ ･๑)juicy.・White Daifuku・Cut Rice Cakes[White Daifuku]The slightly larger daifuku was firm and chewy! This type of chewy daifuku was my first time trying, but it was delicious! Inside, there is smooth red bean paste. The red bean paste has a perfect balance of sweetness and a slight salty taste, which is incredibly delicious♪♪♪I originally planned to eat only half and share the rest with my companion, but it was so delicious that I ended up eating the whole thing_( ┐ﾉε:)ﾉｽﾞｺｰ

I visited the shop that was ranked number one in the Kushiro ramen article and was intrigued. The mochi seems to be famous here. I chose the mochi-included salt ramen. The soup was quite delicious. It tasted like bonito broth, but I could be mistaken. The mochi was chewy and indeed tasty. However, I don't think it's necessary to add it to the ramen. Personally, I wasn't a fan of the noodles. It was a bit disappointing given how delicious the soup was. They also sell daifuku and dango, so I bought some as souvenirs. Thank you for the meal.

I found delicious ramen in Kushiro! I was surprised that it was a mochi shop, but the simple and gentle ramen made me feel relieved. This is a ramen that I want to eat again and again without getting tired of it. The walnut daifuku was also delicious. Check out more details here: Mochi shop "Amazen" serves gentle and delicious ramen along with amazing mochi.

I first learned about Amazan from a friend, but they were closed, so I finally had the chance to visit their location in Tottori. I must admit, I am not very good at driving, especially parking... There is parking space next to the shop, but I struggled for about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to park. I think I should have parked parallel to the shop, right? ^^; After gathering my thoughts, I entered the shop. I had imagined a window display filled with rice cakes next to a few tables and chairs, but it turned out to be more like a ramen shop. Of course, I ordered the Mochi Ramen! It had a light and gentle flavor, typical of Kushiro ramen. The taste of the simple rice cakes was not overshadowed. As someone who is sensitive to hot temperatures, I struggled a bit to eat it ^^; It reminded me of eating my grandma's ozoni. Not because the flavors were similar, but because of the feeling it evoked. I was drawn to the walnut rice cakes on the menu, but they were sold out. I was told that I could reserve them in advance if I called. I've never bought and tried rice cakes from a rice cake shop before, so I might give it a try next time. Thank you for the meal!

I was alone in Kushiro on a journey to conquer all the "Amazen" Kushiro ramen restaurants, which I thought was a trip for my later years, but there still seems to be more to explore. I am excluding chain restaurants or ramen shops that are only open at night. This place also sells mochi while offering ramen, and although there are two locations, I only visited one. I wasn't initially planning to go here, but I remembered they sell mochi so I decided to visit to buy some. The restaurant is located near the station, and when I arrived, I noticed another restaurant next door with a sign for ramen. I realized I should count this one too. Inside the restaurant, they only had cut mochi available, and I arrived late so most of it was already sold out. I was surprised to hear that they sold a lot today. They didn't have daifuku or dango, and I was thinking about having ohagi, but since I came all this way, I couldn't leave without buying something. I don't dislike mochi, in fact, I quite like it. I was wondering how to eat it. I actually like ozoni, so maybe I should try making some? Natto mochi sounds good too. As a contrary person, I ended up asking for four pieces instead of three. I like numbers like four, nine, or thirteen. There are no pictures of the food, but I made ozoni. Despite the intense heat, I enjoyed the ozoni I made myself. I lightly grilled the aburaage for extra flavor. It was delicious mochi.

Visit date: April 13, 2019 On this day, my friend and I decided that we wanted to eat some sweets from Amazen. When we were kids, we used to eat ramen and mochi from Amazen in Tottori. My friend also has fond memories of this place in Oorakuke. The owner of this shop seems to remember my friend from when they were a child and greets them kindly with a "you've grown up" kind of look. My friend says that the owner is really nice. But this time, our goal was not ramen, but mochi. The mochi here is delicious. We ordered: - Walnut Daifuku: 130 yen - Sakura Mochi: 140 yen The Sakura Mochi is a limited edition item available from March to April. The freshly made mochi is soft with a nice chewiness. The large walnut inside is just right. The sweet red bean paste is not too sweet and very tasty. The Sakura Mochi has grains of mochi rice that are quite coarse. The salted sakura leaf seems to be homemade, and a bit more saltiness would bring out the flavor of the red bean paste even more. The owners of Amazen in Tottori and Amazen in Oorakuke are brothers, and the mochi is made by them in the morning at the Tottori shop. The mochi is consistently delicious no matter when you eat it. We will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I learned about "Ramen and Mochi Kanzen Daikokume Shop" from a friend and tried their Mochi-filled Char Siu Ramen. It had a very gentle flavor and was delicious.

Passing by, I tried the Mochi-filled Soy Sauce Ramen for 650 yen. Originally a mochi shop, this ramen comes with three freshly made soft mochi. The soup has a gentle flavor, so I ended up finishing the whole bowl.

As I was passing by, I noticed that they serve curry rice for lunch only on Wednesdays and Saturdays. I was intrigued, so I ordered a small size of both. The total cost was 750 yen for both. I also bought walnut mochi as a souvenir, priced at 140 yen each, and bought four of them.

Interested in trying out the mochi-filled ramen, I visited the restaurant. The mochi-filled soy sauce ramen costs 650 yen.

Located near JR Otaru Station in Kushiro City. Um, how do you pronounce this station name?? It's right near the station. I couldn't find the parking lot, but since there was a police box right next to it, I asked where to park and they said it's okay to park on the road in front of the shop. Haha, according to the locals, it's famous for being both interesting and delicious. Well, this kind of place would never be on my dad's list of recommendations, so the surprise factor is fun. Is it really true? The exterior of the shop gives off a deserted old-fashioned Showa era vibe with a sign that exudes history and glass shelves displaying rice cakes. Stepping inside, an oil stove occupies the best spot. An elderly couple greets us with "irasshaimase." I sit down and check out the menu, and my companion seems to be going for the rice cake ramen. Hmm, that's not really my thing. Okay, let me see the rice cakes. Sure, sure... Um, I will have the grass rice cake and regular soy sauce ramen, please. First, I'll have tea and a small plate of grass rice cakes. It's relaxing... this alone is nice. A ramen shop with a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere and rice cakes. The grass rice cake is delicious!! It's tasty and has a slightly salty taste that goes well with tea. Yum, yum! Delicious. After finishing that, the ramen arrives. Neat. A simple Hokkaido-style ramen with a simple face, warm in front of me like an old-fashioned Showa era bowl. First, I sip the soup. Smooth. As expected, it's simple and clear, with a different taste from the fish-based broth typical of Kushiro. Um... it's more like Tokyo-style ramen. The noodles are thin, lacking the Hokkaido touch, more like a Tokyo-style ramen. The slightly strong soy sauce color and the whiteness of the noodles are well balanced, making it enjoyable as a Tokyo-style ramen. If you were expecting the recent double soup style of Kushiro, you might be a little disappointed, but if you think of it as an old-fashioned Tokyo-style ramen, it's excellent. The ingredients are simple, with menma, small slices of char siu, green onions, and seaweed. The thin noodles entwine nicely with the soup, gently bringing the not-so assertive soup into the mouth. I repeat the balance of soup and noodles. Other customers are confirming with each other about the three rice cakes floating in the bowl and how filling they are. Don't worry... the grass rice cake I ate is definitely more delicious. I enjoy it, and the bill is settled by the motherly lady. The price remains old-fashioned, which is kind to the wallet. Even with the rice cakes, is it okay at this price? Thank you. It was a delightful shop that warmed both my heart and body. This might not be necessary for Tokyoites, but for a Hokkaido native visiting Kushiro, it was a perfect surprise find. Bon appétit♪

Cheap! Delicious! The daifuku is tasty! The chef is also kind!

There was information from the locals that the ramen served by a rice cake shop is delicious. I was intrigued by this wonderful collaboration and visited the shop. It was located just off National Route 38, near Otarage Station. The shop faced the main street but did not have a parking lot. Maybe the public parking lot at Otarage Station could be used. The shop displayed various rice cakes in the window, giving the impression of a typical rice cake shop. However, the vintage sign boldly proclaimed "Ramen and Rice Cakes." Inside, there were about three counter seats surrounding a central chimney stove, exuding a historical charm. I chose the rice cake soy sauce ramen from the menu displayed on the top of the counter. The ramen arrived with three rice cakes on top. The ramen had a simple and gentle flavor, and the soft rice cakes paired perfectly with the soup. While eating, I noticed other customers coming in to purchase rice cakes, realizing that this shop must have been a long-standing favorite for both rice cakes and ramen among the locals. It was a delightful meal.

Happy New Year! Let's start 2016 with some delicious mochi at Amazen. When you feel like it, just go for it! Sit at the counter and order the Mochi Ramen (700 yen). You'll get three soft mochi on top of your ramen, a great deal for the price. This ramen shop is the only one around Daikumou Station, so it's loved by the locals. Just be aware that there is no parking lot, so you'll have to park on the street. Don't worry, it's legal to park there temporarily. Enjoy your meal at Amazen!

Kushiro is located very close to Daigakumo Station. It seems you can enjoy a hybrid of mochi and ramen there. The mochi is displayed outside where it can be seen from the road, which is something I've never seen before in a mochi shop. The interior of the shop has 3 tables and a counter. It's old but relatively clean. Of course, since it's a mochi shop, I ordered the mochi ramen for 600 yen. It was a shoyu flavor. The ramen was quite simple but delicious. It was light and the noodles were on the smaller side, so it disappeared quickly. I should have ordered the larger portion. The mochi was soft and delicious, it didn't feel out of place in the ramen, but maybe it's better to eat the mochi separately. However, I think the value of mochi ramen from a mochi shop is worth it. The ramen was just delicious. With the intense competition in Sapporo, sometimes simple ramen like this is good too. The owners, both the lady and the man, were nice. When the people are nice, it makes you want to visit again. I wasn't very hungry so I didn't buy any mochi, but I definitely want to try it next time.

I quickly found the shop as it is located across from the Dairakukei Station. The road in front of the shop is wide enough for about two cars to park. I ordered the Mochi Ramen (soy sauce) for a very affordable price of 600 yen. The basic ramen flavors - salt, soy sauce, and miso - are surprisingly priced at 500 yen. I prefer light-tasting ramen, but the one I had was a bit bland for my liking, so I recommend caution to those trying Kushiro ramen for the first time. It may not be suitable for those who prefer rich flavors. The traffic situation has changed recently, and now when traveling from Obihiro to Kushiro, you no longer need to pass through the station area, resulting in a significant decrease in traffic. Despite this, I believe the shop can thrive because it is likely well-connected to the local community.
