I went to see the night view of Hakodate and didn't make a dinner reservation, so I was wandering around. I decided to try some ramen that I hadn't eaten yet, so I went to this place. I ordered the Fourth Generation Charred Salt Ramen. My companion ordered the same menu with a side of small rice and 3 grilled dumplings. We bought food tickets and took our seats. The thick slices of chashu were delicious.

In Hakodate City, Hokkaido, for the second stop of our adult field trip, we couldn't miss out on having some ramen to finish off the day. We entered a brightly lit restaurant and ordered the Salt Ramen (half size) for ¥550 and the Special Grilled Gyoza for ¥420. Of course, we also ordered some beer for a mini second round of drinks. The light soup was soothing and the salt flavor was just right, pairing well with the curly noodles. Even though it was a half size, it was satisfying. The gyoza, though small, was tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Hakodate and left the restaurant feeling full and content. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Hakodate Menya 4th Generation Located about a 3-minute walk from Hakodate Station, along the streetcar line, I had lunch at Hakodate Menya 4th Generation. They offer both soy sauce and miso ramen, but I opted for the salt ramen. I purchased a meal ticket and took a seat to wait. The 4th Generation Ramen Clear soup with a boiled egg and a huge slice of chashu right in the middle! The soup had a light yet distinct salt flavor. The noodles were thin and curly. The chashu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious. The pan-fried dumplings were small and had a nice crispy texture. Overall, it's a convenient place to dine as they are open until late.

It's dinner at the fourth generation ramen shop in Hakodate, a prominent ramen shop visible from Hakodate Station known for attracting tourists. They have miso butter corn ramen, but none of the locals seem to be eating here. And they are promoting Hakodate salt... I've tried almost all the ramen shops in Hakodate, but I decided to try this one. I ordered the fourth generation seared salt ramen. By the way, I wonder why they emphasize "fourth generation" instead of using the actual shop name like "Hakodate Menya." The photo on the menu and the actual ramen served looked different. The seared chashu was smaller, and even the bowl itself was smaller. The salt was just regular salt. I had been ignoring this place before, but trying it out was actually refreshing in a way. I learned something new. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a fourth-generation restaurant for the first time. The restaurant shares a parking lot with another store. I had the regular salt ramen. This restaurant is not one that locals in Hakodate would typically visit, so I had low expectations, but the taste was within an acceptable range.

I went there at the beginning of 2023. The salt ramen was reasonably priced and had a gentle taste that warmed my body. I was very impressed. It tastes even better on cold days. The gyoza was also substantial and had a rich flavor. The staff's greetings were very energetic, and the atmosphere in the restaurant was lively.

When you walk towards Matsukaze-cho from the Hakodate Station front intersection, you will see a yellow sign on your right. On this day, to escape the snowfall and warm up, I decided to enter the shop. I ordered at the ticket machine in advance. Despite being in Hakodate, I have never been satisfied with anything other than yakitori, so I chose miso again. I ordered the 'Charred Miso Ramen / 1,000 yen'. A friend who came in with me played it safe and chose salt. After settling at the counter seats, both the salt and miso ramen arrived simultaneously after about 10 minutes. The soup was rich with pork bone broth, hot, and had a flavorful miso taste. It wasn't as greasy as Sumire, but you could still feel the weight of the lard, giving it a Hokkaido-like finish. The noodles were the standard yellow curly noodles commonly found in Hokkaido. They picked up the soup very well. The charred chashu, a specialty of the shop, was like a long, crispy pork belly. It had a fragrant taste that matched well with the miso, but it had too much fat for my liking. Overall, it was a very well-balanced and high-quality miso ramen. This was my first time trying miso ramen in Hakodate, and with such delicious ramen, I don't think there's a need to go out of my way to explore salt ramen.

Hakodate Station in December 2022, open from noon to midnight without breaks, a long-running ramen shop with a convenient location. The atmosphere is plain with a lot of seats, and it's a bit awkward with no guests around during the time I visited. The ticket vending machine welcomes you with a wide variety of menu options. I started with a beer and ordered some "Fried Gyoza" for 420 yen. The gyoza had a nice crispy texture and good flavor. For my main dish, I had the "Salt Ramen (Half)" for 550 yen. The clear soup was transparent and had a gentle umami flavor, which I personally enjoyed but might not be satisfying for someone who is drunk. Overall, it was a good meal. Thank you!

The old man ate ramen in Hakodate. He had already eaten and drank quite a bit at a previous restaurant, mainly seafood. But he felt like something was missing. That's right, there was still something he hadn't eaten in Hakodate, and that was ramen. It's a food that charms drunk people and makes them want to eat. This time, he visited a shop called "Yondaime" (Fourth Generation). He wasn't sure what Hakodate was famous for in terms of ramen, but he wanted something light since heavy dishes can be tiring. He ordered the Salted Corn Butter Ramen. With butter in it, it didn't seem that light, but the base was salt. It wasn't too rich or heavy. When he actually tasted it, it was delicious. It had a light texture, but the butter added a nice richness. The flavor of the corn was also good. Overall, it was a tasty way to end the night in Hakodate. It was really delicious! It's a shop worth checking out, so if you have the chance, please give it a try!!!

I went for a change of mood, and for closure. This ramen shop is located at the corner of the crossroads in Wakamatsu-cho. I had been curious about it for a while, so I took the opportunity to visit. It was a Sunday just before 9 PM. As I entered, I was greeted with the ticket vending machine attack that made me think, "Not this again!" However, I had already decided on salt ramen, so I pressed the screen twice and ordered the salt ramen (700 yen). When I sat down, the staff promptly provided water and collected the ticket. The ramen was served in 3 minutes. The half-transparent soup with medium-thin curly noodles, 3 slices of roasted pork, 4 pieces of bamboo shoots, and green onions floating on top. What a clear salt soup! When I tasted it, it had a proper saltiness. The soup was light with a low oil content. Oh, it's salty! The noodles were just normal. Very ordinary noodles! The roasted pork had a slightly porky smell. The bamboo shoots were also very ordinary. I finished it quickly. This kind of closure is good. Thank you for the meal. November 20, 2022, 3:26 AM.

Hakodate = Salt! → Salt ramen! I visited as a late-night stop to end the night. This shop is open late, which is very convenient. I ordered the regular salt ramen (without any toppings), and it was delicious with plenty of chashu and crispy green onions. I slurped up the noodles and salt soup eagerly. Once again, I realized I ate too much today, but I enjoyed the night in Hakodate. Thank you for the meal.

I saw a menu posted on the restaurant window and noticed they had a half-size option, so I decided to try it. It was just an average ramen, neither delicious nor bad. It was satisfying as I was just the right amount full. Thank you for the meal.

When I think of Hokkaido, I think of miso butter corn. But when I came to Hakodate, I realized that this place is a holy land for salt ramen. However, after successfully trying the salt ramen, I still wanted to eat miso butter corn! So, I decided to choose this restaurant for my last meal at Izakaya Gohan (@ Daimon Yokocho). It's located about 50 meters from Daimon Yokocho. The location is excellent, close to the station, and I noticed a few people who seemed to be coming for their last meal as well. The curly yellow Chinese-style noodles with miso butter sauce were amazing! I couldn't help but eat it with great enthusiasm. To put it mildly, it was the best!

It's great that they offer half portions because I want to try a variety of dishes. Ramen is always delicious, but it's rare that I feel the urge to come back for more. It was just a normal, tasty bowl of ramen. It didn't leave a lasting impression.

Just after the state of emergency was lifted, Maamaa customers started coming in, which is nice. The place is good for tourists who have had a few drinks. As for the ramen, the presentation and temperature are great, and the first bite tastes delicious. However, as you keep eating, you start to get bored more and more. I wonder why that is? Even pandas and capybaras seem to have the same feeling. I'm not sure why. It's not a taste that keeps you hooked until the last bite. It might be fine for tipsy tourists stopping by once, but I'm not sure if it will create repeat customers. Hmm, thanks for the meal.

[Location] When you head east from Hakodate Station towards Matsukaze-cho, you will find the shop on your right hand side. If you take the streetcar, it's right in between Hakodate and Matsukaze-cho. [Shop, Interior] Upon entering the shop, there is a ticket machine where you purchase your meal ticket first. The kitchen is located at the back, with counter seats in front of it, and table seats towards the left back. [Cuisine] The menu offers salt, miso, and soy sauce flavors, with a wide variety to choose from. I ordered the simplest salt ramen for ¥650. The salt ramen arrived shortly, with clear soup topped with bamboo shoots, chashu pork, and green onions. I took a sip of the soup right away. The saltiness is just right, I think it's delicious even though it's light. The noodles are curly noodles. [Beverages] They serve water. [Service] There were about 4 male staff members. Since it's close to Matsukaze-cho and open until around 11 pm, it's a good place for a meal after drinking. Also, if you have salt ramen, you won't feel too guilty as a late-night meal (laughs). I hope this review will be helpful for your restaurant choices.

Welcome.---------- May 2020 ----------I thought this place was an izakaya, but it's actually a noodle shop located on the corner along the station front street. Hello! First, I came here with the intention of ordering the recommended dish, which is prominently displayed on the ticket machine. But the set menu is also very affordable. The young staff members are cheerful and energetic, which is nice. Since it was written that it's the same as Yuumin P, I wonder if they are affiliated. The rich pork fat soy sauce ramen is 230 yen, and with gyoza and rice as a set, it costs 750 yen. I couldn't resist getting the gyoza and rice set for 980 yen. The rich pork fat and strong soy sauce flavor are great. The pork fat is light and refreshing, leaving a clean aftertaste. The soy sauce has a deep flavor that doesn't lose to the pork fat. The color of the soy sauce is dyed into the crunchy bean sprouts. The thickly sliced soft pork shoulder chashu, chewy thin straight noodles, diagonally cut long green onions, and bamboo shoots make the ramen delicious. The more you sprinkle black pepper, the more the umami of the soy sauce stands out, and the richness of the pork fat tightens up. The gyoza is crispy on the outside and has a fragrant aroma, with a filling that is light and full of vegetables. The rice is cooked on the firmer side, perfect for dipping into the soup. If the soup had more pork flavor, I would like it even more.

I was drawn to the thick chashu, so I chose the Spicy Miso Ramen with extra noodles for 1,060 yen. The spiciness was sharp, like chili peppers, and had a kimchi hot pot flavor. The chashu was extremely thick, but I felt it lacked some juiciness and seemed a bit dry. The noodles were more similar to pasta in my opinion.

I had the 4th generation dipping noodles. The noodles are made by Okada Seimen, with a light and smooth texture due to the high water content, and a yellowish hue that gives a refreshing feel typical of Hokkaido noodles (noodle portion: about 200g before boiling, enough to fill the stomach to 80%). The dipping sauce is a rich and creamy fish-based soy sauce flavor, with a subtle oiliness and slight viscosity, lacking acidity and spiciness. It may feel heavy at times, catering to those craving a rich and intense broth. The toppings include a few bamboo shoots, three sheets of seaweed, half of two misshapen seasoned eggs, and two large rectangular slices of char siu with a nice charred exterior, resembling steak. There are also plenty of green onions floating in the broth with the back fat. When dipping the noodles into the sauce, the fine fish powder sticks to the noodles' surface, along with the green onions, creating a light and slurp-worthy experience. A clear and gentle chicken broth for diluting the soup is provided in a separate bowl, allowing for personal adjustment, and a plastic lotus scoop for picking up shredded seaweed. The restaurant is located a few minutes from Hakodate Station, and like the nearby "Yumin," it was bustling with customers one after another. You can find the diluting soup here ⇨ http://blog.livedoor.jp/d52001037/archives/9391519.html

Visited for the first time on August 24, 2019, "106th cup" I rested at the hotel and sobered up quite a bit. But I don't have enough energy to go to another izakaya (^^;) Well... let's have some ramen for now lol. I didn't feel like going far, so I decided to go to a shop that was on the way to the previous one. It's my first time entering this shop♪ Hakodate Menya Shidaime Actually, I don't remember this shop much. I have explored around Hakodate Station a few times, but... it seems like a relatively new shop. It was quite empty as it was close to 11 o'clock. I purchased "Shio Ramen" and "Draft Beer" at the ticket machine. The staff's movements were nimble and energetic, which left a good impression. The beer arrived, so I took a sip. Mmm! It's cold and delicious. And then, a while later, the ramen arrived. The clear soup. The noodles also look firm and transparent. I took a sip of the soup right away. Yeah. It's salt. The saltiness is not that strong, but it's refreshing with not much dashi flavor. The noodles are not like Hakodate salt, but more like Sapporo noodles with a thickness closer to straight noodles. They are boiled slightly softer, which goes well with this light soup, but it feels different from the image of Hakodate salt ramen. The toppings are simple with green onions, menma, and chashu. The chashu is made of belly meat, quite fatty, which I didn't really like. Also, the green onions were quite firm, which didn't quite match the smooth noodles. It didn't taste bad, but it didn't taste good either (^^;) I had leftover beer, so I ordered gyoza. This time, I paid in cash. The gyoza was quite delicious♪ Crisply grilled, not too much filling, but the flavor of the filling was solid. I finished the medium-sized beer with this gyoza as a side! The ramen was okay, but I was able to enjoy drinking with delicious gyoza in the end, so it was good. That's it for today!! Getting ready for the morning market tomorrow~ It was delicious! Thank you♪
