I went to the main store before, but gave up because of the long line, so I tried going to the Kamikawa store. It was crowded, but not enough to line up outside the store. There were also people waiting in their cars in the parking lot. They took our order before we sat down, which shortened the waiting time, and the turnover of customers was fast. I had the miso butter ramen for 1000 yen. I couldn't tell if the ramen bowl was small or if the portion was large because there was a lot of stir-fried bean sprouts and onions on top. When I tried to pull the noodles from the back, the bean sprouts almost spilled over. I saw someone order with "less bean sprouts" and thought that was a good idea! Next time, I will remember to do the same. The ramen had a strong garlic flavor and was delicious.

I stopped for a meal during a drive and had a miso butter ramen for 1,000 yen. It had a hot and rich miso soup, thick curly noodles cooked al dente, stir-fried bean sprouts and onions, and it was very delicious. It seems like the perfect dish to warm you up on a cold day. The rich miso soup was especially good.

I ordered miso ramen with extra bean sprouts and 3 slices of seared chashu. When I went around 11:15, there were about 4 people at the counter, and more people came in later. The turnover seemed good. It was nice to see plenty of bean sprouts and onions piled on top. The miso had a rich flavor and was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Visited on June 2, 2023. I was craving miso ramen so I came here after a long time. This place, Yoshino Kamikawa, is well-known in Asahikawa for its miso ramen! The miso chashu ramen I had was as visually appealing as ever. There was still a lot of bean sprouts, which I forgot to ask for less of. Whenever I'm tired, I always crave miso ramen. The noodles, soup, and chashu were consistently delicious. Thank you for the meal!

More than the taste, the operation seems to have some difficulties. I arrived a little before lunchtime, with about 2 groups of people waiting. Lucky, I thought as I entered the restaurant and placed my order. However, one after another, more customers arrived, even after me! I was puzzled, but it turned out that everyone was waiting in their cars in the parking lot, and the staff would call them in when it was their turn. I had already been waiting for about 10 minutes, and when I asked the staff, they said there were still over 10 groups ahead of me. I waited, and ended up waiting for over an hour before finally being seated. Why didn't they tell me that from the beginning?! The soup was a bit salty, but I didn't mind it. The chashu was thin. The bean sprouts could have been crunchier. It wasn't bad, but both the taste and service could definitely be improved quickly! Such a shame.

There were a lot of bean sprouts, the soup was thick and rich with a spicy kick, and the bowl was shallow which made it quite filling. By the way, I had extra bamboo shoots and noodles with miso chashu. There were a lot of bamboo shoots! It was delicious! (*^^*)

I had a large serving of miso ramen. It had a huge amount of bean sprouts. The strong flavor goes well with the bean sprouts. I prefer them a bit more crunchy though. The taste is a bit too strong but still delicious. There is a Yoshino in Kitami as well. However, this place is completely different from the Kitami branch. The Kitami branch is just salty. I felt that the price was a bit high. I would like to eat here occasionally if there is one nearby. I also want to try the soy sauce ramen.

When I ordered a regular miso ramen, it came with a mountain of bean sprouts! The sweet and spicy miso-flavored soup was rich, the noodles were not too thick or too thin, cooked just right, and paired perfectly with the rich soup and bean sprouts. It was a delicious ramen that I would love to have again.

When I go to Asahikawa, I always visit this place. The main dishes are the extra-large bean sprouts and spicy miso ramen. At first, I was surprised by the amount of bean sprouts, but I could eat them. The miso itself is also delicious. The curtain says "miso ramen" and miso ramen is their specialty, but the soy sauce ramen is also delicious.

On the way to Sounkyo, I found Yoshino in Kamikawa just in time for lunch. I ordered the miso butter ramen. It felt slightly different from the main branch, but it was still delicious Yoshino ramen. I enjoyed the Yoshino ramen in Kamikawa as well.

Yoshino, a famous Asahikawa Ramen shop, was visited for the first time. The sign and chopstick wrapper both mention "miso ramen," so it seems like they only serve miso ramen here, right? I ordered the miso ramen for 850 yen. It was consistently delicious! The noodles were firm, there was a generous amount of vegetables, and the miso soup was rich. So tasty! I will definitely come back again. Next time, I want to try the soy sauce ramen too.

This time I had a bit of a tough schedule (-_-;) in the morning in Asahikawa, in the afternoon in Kitami.. and the next morning in Kushiro.. in the afternoon I have appointments in Ebetsu and Chuo-ku, Sapporo?? The schedule was arranged by a young colleague, and this old man feels like he's going to die (lol) Luckily, the young colleague will be driving so I should be able to manage it somehow (^_^;) So for lunch, I stopped at "Yoshino" in Kamikawa Town off the toll road. It's been about ten years since I last visited Yoshino.. a miso ramen shop with its main store in Asahikawa. There are surprisingly many shops in Asahikawa that specialize in miso. I ordered the miso ramen, which is a bit pricey at 850 yen. It arrived in about 10 minutes. Let's dig in~♪ As always, it's quite salty (^_^;) Yoshino is known for its saltiness. With this level of saltiness, it doesn't really matter what kind of broth it is. It already has chili peppers in it from the start, and it seems like there's a bit more here compared to other shops. The noodles are the classic Asahikawa style noodles, a preference that varies among people. The generous amount of bean sprouts fills you up! Thank you for the meal. It was quite a departure from my preferences, but maybe I'm no longer an Asahikawa local~ If the shop is still around in a few decades, I'll visit again (lol)

If you get off at the Kamikawa Interchange and head towards the national highway in the opposite direction of Sounkyo, you will find "Yoshino" right away. I went there at 11:15 and there were already three groups of customers. It's a popular place after all. When you think of "Yoshino," you think of miso ramen, right? The extra-large bean sprouts make it hard to reach the noodles, but they go well with the rich soup. The noodles are the kind that Asahikawa locals love, with less water content. The soup is spicier compared to other "Yoshino" locations.

I visited Yoshino Ramen in Kamikawa for the first time in a year. It is a popular restaurant located along the national highway, making it easy to access. As soon as it opened, customers started coming in one after another, and before I knew it, the waiting area was full of people. After a short wait, I was seated at a table. I ordered the miso butter ramen with less bean sprouts. It took about 30 minutes from entering the restaurant to receiving my ramen. The ramen at Yoshino was as delicious as I remembered, with plenty of bean sprouts. Even with less bean sprouts, it was still a bit too much for me. I heard that the chef has changed since my last visit, and I noticed that the flavor was a bit stronger and more distinct than before. It was a satisfying meal. I wonder what I should try next time.

At lunchtime, I tried various nearby restaurants, but none of them were open...!! So I ended up coming back to this place that was crowded when I first went there. It's quite difficult to have lunch at this kind of odd hour around here... It was around 3:30 pm, almost at the end of lunchtime, but they kindly said, "It's okay~" and I gratefully waited... It was super crowded... but that's okay... I'm just happy to be able to have lunch... So after a short wait, we were seated. The recommended dish is miso ramen, so my family ordered miso while I ordered soy sauce (lol). The soy sauce ramen was 700 yen, which was quite reasonable. The miso ramen was 800 yen. It came with green onions, bamboo shoots, and char siu only, in a simple style. Hmm, delicious! Whether it's because I was hungry or it's just naturally tasty (lol), the miso ramen had a rich and thick style with plenty of bean sprouts and garlic. I kind of regret not ordering miso... The minced meat flavor was strong. There were a few onions and bean sprouts in it. It was slightly sweet and had a spicy kick. It was a delicious miso ramen. We also ordered the Flavored Pork Char Siu for 310 yen as an extra. We didn't get a slice, so I can't comment on the taste (lol). I think I'll try the miso next time! Thank you for the meal!!

I had the Shoyu Ramen at "Yoshino Kamikawa Store" located at Shinmitsu 98, Kamikawa-cho, Kamikawa-gun. The ramen consisted of green onions, menma, and chashu, following the simple Asahikawa ramen style. The interior of the store had 7 counter seats, 2 tables for 4 people, and 2 tables for 6 people. The menu offered various ramen options, with the Shoyu Ramen priced at 700 yen. The noodles were thin and made by Katou with low water content. The clear shoyu soup was delicious. Yoshino is known for their miso ramen, but their shoyu ramen is also worth trying. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Miso Butter Ramen 850 yen Miso ramen alone is delicious, but adding butter makes the soup milder and I like it. It's crowded today. It seems that the owner changed in May, but the taste remains the same and it was delicious. The price of ramen has gone up, but it used to be cheaper, so it's understandable.

"I have a chance to visit the nearby 'Yoshino' restaurant in Kamikawa, which I haven't been able to visit for a while. A few years ago, I went there with a few friends on a mini-tour, as it was rumored to be the best among the affiliated stores. I don't remember much from that visit, so this time I can find out the truth. It's a rare occasion for me to have ramen for dinner, so it's a good opportunity. The restaurant is quite popular, with customers coming in one after another. I ordered the 'Miso Butter' ramen for 800 yen, and asked for the noodles to be slightly firm. There was a strange explanation that they would make the firm noodles separately, which I didn't quite understand. The ramen was rich and garlicky, with just the right amount of bean sprouts. The miso broth was poured over the noodles in the bowl, creating a mix of hot and warm parts. The noodles were a bit too firm. Overall, it was a satisfying meal."

Visit date September 22nd (Saturday) It's my second day of work in Kamikawa Town! I failed to adjust my schedule and ended up working on a Saturday (^^;) What's for lunch? Yesterday I had Kamikawa Ramen but my condition didn't improve, so I decided to go for something with more stamina. I was a bit surprised to have Asahikawa Ramen in Kamikawa, but a miso ramen with plenty of garlic is appealing to Asahikawa locals (^^)v So, I headed to "Yoshino" for lunch... I arrived a little before 12 o'clock, but the parking lot was full! When I entered, the place was packed and I had to wait! I was waiting as number 2 on the waiting list, but before that, the waitress came to take my order... I had checked "kitadora-san" reviews in advance, so I asked for miso ramen, firm noodles, but the waitress said they make them all together so firm noodles are not possible (=_=) After waiting for about 10 minutes, I was seated at the counter... I could see the kitchen from my seat, and they were making 8 bowls at once (=_=) I had a bad feeling about this, and my order arrived in less than 5 minutes. The mountain of bean sprouts is definitely Yoshino's trademark (^^)/ I took a sip of the soup... this is also in line with Yoshino's tradition. It seems that the Kamikawa branch has its own touch with mushrooms in it. However, as expected, the noodles were overcooked (^^;) Close, but not quite there! Thank you for the meal!

It's a quiet store but very popular and crowded. There are limited dining options in this area. If this place is full, many people end up going to the convenience store. Last week, there was a heavy snowfall and everything was covered in white! It was so cold. I could really go for a warm bowl of ramen... Ramen in winter is so comforting. I had a delicious soy sauce ramen with a strong umami flavor. As always, it tasted great and it was the perfect hot lunchtime treat. Why doesn't soy sauce ramen come with bean sprouts???
