I initially thought about ordering something spicy when I saw the menu at the storefront, but then changed my mind because it didn't seem too spicy. Instead, I ended up ordering a half & half of ramen and gyoza, with the ramen being soy sauce flavored. It's a rare combination, but it filled me up nicely! I didn't know the restaurant had a spacious underground seating area that could accommodate nearly 50 people. I was worried about being turned away as it was close to closing time, but they welcomed me warmly. Even a seemingly important person who came in noticed my low water level and kindly swapped it with water from another table. The service was top-notch. They offered various payment methods, showing their commitment to meeting customer needs. The menu also featured unique options like cold ramen and fish-based ramen. Although the restaurant used to be related to the Paseo location, they are now independent. Thank you for the meal!

I had the miso ramen with a side of small fried rice set. I've always loved this ramen; the miso flavor is strong and a bit salty but delicious. The medium-thick curly noodles are springy, the wood ear mushrooms are crunchy, and there's plenty of bean sprouts and green onions. The chashu pork is firm, and the lightly seasoned bamboo shoots bring back comforting memories. The fried rice is flavorful and has a nice balance of fluffy and moist texture. I enjoy the warm hospitality from the lady and the cheerful greetings from the man in the kitchen. I love the atmosphere here.

This is an area in Miyanozawa that I rarely visit. We happened to pass by on our way to my sister's house, so we decided to stop by. I had tried a different chain store of Ezo-ko before, but it's been about 20 years since then. We chose the most popular dish, the an-kake yakisoba. I think I could have eaten a little more. Thank you for the meal!

I stopped by during work. I had been here a long time ago. I ordered the miso ramen set for 1100 yen. I thought there was a half & half option for both regular sizes, but it was different. The miso ramen was pork bone-based with a strong garlic flavor, and the soup was delicious. The visual presentation was a classic miso ramen. The fried rice was also delicious, although there was a small portion. I also want to try the wonton noodles next time.

Recently, following the spread prevention measures, there have been emergency declarations and the service industry is really struggling. Many restaurants in the company and neighborhood are closed until the end of September, and even my favorite place is closed. Before the pandemic, White Lover Park was crowded with inbound tourists returning to the city. What used to be a joyful noise is now a cry for survival for these businesses. This review is based on my visit before the spread. I visit about once every two months. It's a soy sauce from the Showa era, but I love the rich broth. However, the flavor is a bit light, so I always ask for extra seasoning. My partner ordered the miso with normal seasoning, but still found it to be light. Well, it's not that it's light, it's just the Showa era's level of saltiness. Looking forward to their reopening in October.

Today, it was snowing heavily in the morning and I didn't feel like driving, so I decided to have lunch nearby. I visited the Ezo Nishimura Sawayama store at the Westyu underground for the second week in a row. I was planning to have a light ramen, but the gyoza on the menu looked delicious, so I ordered a Ramen & Gyoza set with half and half. The gyoza takes about 15 minutes to be served. Since I wasn't in a hurry, I decided to relax and wait. The order arrived on time after about 15 minutes! Although the Ramen & Gyoza set looks like a regular size, the ramen portion was actually half the size. I started with the gyoza. As recommended, the gyoza was flavorful from the filling. The gyoza skin was slightly soft, more similar to steamed gyoza. The ramen was decent, not too heavy, with a slightly light miso flavor.

Located in the basement adjacent to the Miyano-Sawa Station, this ramen shop is popular among older customers due to its convenient location. However, just looking at the menu with prices excluding tax doesn't inspire much confidence. Hopefully, they will update their menu starting from April. The miso ramen here is not to my liking as it is covered in lard which distracts from the flavor. The noodles are also high in water content, making them rubbery and unappealing. The chuka-don is average but comes in a small size. I wish they offered a set with a full-size chuka-don and a simple small chuka soba. Overall, disappointing.

I went to Ramen Ezokko, which is directly connected to the Miyano-sawa subway station. After my medical check-up, I decided to have lunch and since I had time to spare before getting my results, I thought why not have some ramen. There was only one other customer since it was past the usual lunch hour. I didn't have high expectations for this chain restaurant, but I ordered the salt ramen for 720 yen (excluding tax). I wish ramen shops would just include tax in the prices to keep it simple! The ramen arrived in about 10 minutes, and the soup had a unique color with a strong sesame oil flavor. I love sesame oil, but when it's too overpowering, it can take away from the overall taste of the ramen. The noodles were from Nishiyama Seimen, a famous Sapporo ramen brand, and they were on the firmer side. I think I would have preferred miso ramen instead. The bamboo shoots and chashu were slightly better than expected, but overall, the ramen just tasted like sesame oil. It was an okay meal. This was my 98th ramen review this year.

Visited on a certain Sunday afternoon in July. The place was full and more people kept coming in. I wonder if it's because of the location or if the food is really good. I ordered the fried rice set with soy sauce. After waiting for almost 10 minutes, they finally brought it out saying, "Sorry for the wait! Here's your miso fried rice set." Huh? That's not what I ordered. The person I was with also got the wrong order. They apologized for the mistake but didn't offer to replace it because they were busy. Oh well, it's okay. The taste was just average. Oh well, thanks for the meal!

After finishing work near Miyano-sawa Station, I was looking for a place to have a drink before heading home on the subway. I passed by a place called "Ezokko" and found the perfect set menu - a beer set for 1,000 yen (excluding tax) which included 2 medium-sized beers and 5 pieces of persimmon seed gyoza. The beer and persimmon seeds arrived quickly, but the gyoza took about 15 minutes to cook. While waiting, I enjoyed the persimmon seeds and the atmosphere in the restaurant, which had a few foreign families speaking various languages. The gyoza finally arrived and I ordered a second beer. The gyoza was a good size, freshly cooked, and tasted delicious with the accompanying sauce. After two beers, I was satisfied and decided to skip the ramen or fried rice I had planned on having. Overall, it was a perfect set for a drink after work.

It was near the end of December on a day close to the White Lover Park. After playing around in the park, we realized it was already past dinner time. We were drawn to this restaurant, which was our first visit as we usually go to the one in Nishimachi. I ordered the spicy miso ramen with a mini chashu bowl, while my partner ordered the soy sauce ramen with a fried rice set. The food arrived shortly after we started playing with our son. The chashu bowl looked delicious! First, we tried the ramen... Oh no, I made a mistake, should have gone with the salt flavor... It was just spicy (´・ε・｀) Hmm... The chashu bowl was very tasty though. I also tried some of the fried rice from my partner, and it was undeniably delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I had a meal here to satisfy my hunger. When I opened the large door, there were quite a few customers inside. The entrance banner and the showcase looked very appetizing, so I had always been curious. I ordered soy sauce ramen and half & half of Chinese rice bowl, as well as salt ramen and half & half of fried rice. The actual taste was... a bit lacking in flavor. It might be a bit bland. However, maybe it was just today, but there were many elderly customers, so it seems like a restaurant loved by locals. There is an atmosphere that makes you want to eat here for some reason. It feels like being sucked in through the large door.

Miso ramen is recommended. There are various types of ramen available, but all of them are good, you can't go wrong.

Lunch visit. Visited alone. Some thoughts: - Located directly connected to Miyanosawa Station underground shopping area. - Sat at a table. - Ordered the half and half ramen and fried rice set. - Chose soy sauce flavor for the ramen. - It was very delicious.

I had fried rice (830 yen). The taste is a bit strong. It is moist without being oily.

Located near the Minami-Hiragishi Station in Sapporo, close to the Seiyu supermarket. This franchise restaurant has a normal atmosphere and the staff's service is decent. I always order the seafood ankake ramen, which has a thick, salty soup and chewy noodles. The toppings include scallops, shrimp, and a few others, but not a lot of seafood overall. I like the thick, salty flavor, so I always end up coming back to this place when I'm in Minami-Hiragishi. In Hokkaido, known for its ramen, there are many great ramen shops, and while this one may not be outstanding, it's a nice spot to try if you're interested.

I had a half set of soy sauce ramen and fried rice for 820 yen. Overall, it felt a bit oily.

The taste is gentle and nostalgic, with a pleasant aftertaste. ☺️
