I remembered eating Horumon Ramen in Nakajima-cho a long time ago, so when Daruma-tei opened in Sumachi, I decided to try it. The restaurant faces the road and has parking space for 3 cars in front of the store. It was a bit nerve-wracking to back into the parking space from the road. The interior of the restaurant was clean and made a good impression. I sat at the counter and ordered the Miso Horumon Ramen. I also ordered a mini Chashu bowl. The ramen arrived in about 5 minutes. Despite its powerful name, the Miso Horumon Ramen had a slightly mild and gentle miso soup. The noodles were the classic Hokkaido curly noodles. The Chashu had a good chewy texture and was satisfying. The horumon was quite tender but maybe slightly overcooked as it lacked flavor. The Chashu bowl was also lightly seasoned, making it easy to enjoy. Thank you for the meal.

At 11:30, I visited for the first time and ordered curry ramen at the counter seat. It arrived in less than 10 minutes! Wow, it looks rich! Can I handle it? The pork bone-based broth with medium thick curly noodles... Delicious! Is this how Daruma-tei's chashu always is? It's my type and tastes great! Even though I'm not a fan of pork bone broth, maybe because it's curry, I managed to finish it all. Curry Ramen for 880 yen. Thank you for the meal!

This is about Darumatei Jumachi in Muroran. The restaurant is located near Co-op, a bit of a walk from Higashi-Muroran Station. Darumatei in Muroran is the main branch, having relocated from Takasago-cho. I often go to Darumatei in Nakajima, but it's hard to eat ramen after drinking. On this day, my friend who stayed overnight in a car was with me, so I took the opportunity to drive there in the morning. The restaurant has a counter with 12 seats and two 4-person tables. It was almost full shortly after opening, showing its popularity. Muroran is famous for curry ramen, but other ramen here is generally light. The specialty here is Hormone Ramen. The Miso Hormone Ramen costs 990 yen and comes with yellow egg noodles. The soup is relatively light with a miso flavor, but the hormone topping adds richness. Other toppings include bamboo shoots, green onions, and chashu pork, which are quite standard. I like the balance between richness and lightness in this ramen. I also ordered the Utsunomiya Jumbo Gyoza for 400 yen, a menu item I always get at Darumatei in Nakajima. It's delicious with a hint of garlic. It goes well with beer, but my friend vetoed it, so I had to resist. The restaurant has become cleaner after relocating, and for those who have tried various curry ramen, I recommend trying the Hormone Ramen here. Oh, I haven't tried the curry ramen here, but they have that too. Thank you for the meal.

In the famous ramen shop in Takasago-cho, Muroran City, which recently moved and opened, there are 3 parking spaces in front of the store. Inside, there are 6 counter seats and another 6 counter seats separated, as well as 2 tables for 4 people each. The shop opened on July 23, 2022, and even though it was still new, it was already full by 1:30 PM. The recommended dish here is the Miso Hormone Ramen for 990 yen. I also ordered 3 pieces of Utsunomiya Jumbo Gyoza for 240 yen. The medium-thick curly noodles with the miso soup are reminiscent of Sapporo ramen, with a rich and intense miso flavor. The hormone is soft and delicious, lacking the usual chewy texture but still tasty. The gyoza is big and juicy. Lastly, it's great to pour a lot of garlic into the leftover soup after finishing the meal and drink it all up, making a stamina-filled garlic soup.

On July 13, 2022 (Wednesday), I visited Ramen Daruma Tei San, which relocated from Takasago-cho to Kotobuki-cho in Muroran City! This was my first time visiting, and I ordered the most popular Miso Horumon Ramen priced at 990 yen! The price was reasonable, and the horumon had a strong presence, making it delicious!

There was a counter facing the wall, and it was a cozy restaurant. I enjoyed the salt ramen, it was refreshing and delicious. I'm curious about the hormone ramen, so I definitely want to try it next time.
