I received a call from "Michinoku Goro," a legendary reviewer who has been traveling around the country since the early days of Tabelog and is now a YouTuber. He recommended a menu that he found incredibly delicious, so I visited the restaurant the next day. They offer a unique menu of Soki soba, where the flavor changes depending on the cut of meat used. I decided to try the "Yugafu" with a rare "Shirumiso" broth, following Michinoku Goro's recommendation. Another regular customer, Macpon, who also attended the first unofficial Tabelog gathering, highly recommends this dish as well. I ordered the "Yugafu - Shirumiso" for 1,150 yen. The soba noodles are made using a traditional method called wood ash hand-pulled, which is rare in Okinawa nowadays. The dish is made with a focus on health in every aspect. The tender and juicy bite-sized Soki, the gentle natural broth, and the savory and rich miso flavor blend perfectly with a subtle hint of spices. It was delicious! Although it is slightly salty, making you thirsty, the balance of flavors is necessary for the miso flavor to shine. It has been about three years since my last visit, and I noticed changes in the taste, menu lineup, and ordering process, but the friendly and welcoming atmosphere remains unchanged. The restaurant has managed to preserve the flavors of Okinawa while establishing its own unique style of "Fuyusai Okinawan cuisine." Despite being busy, the owner took the time to chat with me and shared some insights. It was a meaningful and enjoyable experience. Thank you for the hospitality.

I tried the Silk Ramen at Yugafu, the owner said it was sour but it actually had a soy sauce ramen-like flavor which I quite enjoyed. I recommend it. I suggest not going on a hot day and not getting the large size, as the place doesn't have air conditioning and eating hot food on a hot day made it quite spicy. My friend got the large size and struggled to finish it as the noodles absorbed the broth, making it seem like it never decreased. It was a funny situation.

In Hokkaido, there is a popular Okinawa soba restaurant for some reason, and I had been curious about it for a while. I ordered a limited menu item, and it arrived fairly quickly. At first, I felt like the dish was a bit lacking in salt, but as I kept eating, it started to taste more and more delicious, and before I knew it, I had finished it all in no time!

When I think of Okinawa soba, I imagine it with 2 or 3 slices of meat on top, but this bowl had lots of meat in it, and the portion was generous! The price of 1150 yen was reasonable for this amount. The couple running the shop, or maybe they were just a cute couple, were very charming and made me feel relaxed, just like when I visited Okinawa. ☺️

First visit♪ When I think of Soki soba, I suddenly feel like eating it for some reason haha. No photos allowed inside the restaurant (but okay for outside and the food). There are various information written at the entrance such as menu and notices. Even now after the pandemic, masks are required and temperature checks are done before entering. It's run by an elderly couple, so I think these precautions are necessary! In addition to the 4 types shown in the photo, there were also daily specials written on a small board inside. I was torn between the popular Urizun and the Soki bowl, but I chose the Soki bowl and soba set = Yunagi bowl set! When it was brought out, I was surprised - I expected a smaller bowl, but it was actually big! The soba had a bit less noodles than usual, but it was still very satisfying♪ The Soki was soft and plentiful with chewy cartilage. And the soba noodles were chewy and delicious! Personally, I would have preferred a stronger broth and less salt, but it's a place I want to visit again⭐︎ Oh, and don't forget to write the same order on both sides of the paper!

Today, I tried the "Fluffy" dish from the whimsical additional menu. As always, it came with a gentle soup and plenty of meat! The pork belly cartilage with soft and rare cuts was limited to only 3 servings. Thank you for the delicious meal.

When it comes to authentic and delicious Okinawan soba in Sapporo City, look no further than Fuyusai in Atsubetsu Minami. Today, I decided to try the Yuunagi Don Set because I was craving noodles and rice. The Soki Soba has a gentle and tasty soup that I would love to have after a night out in Susukino. The Spicy Miso Soki Don has a rich flavor, but the rice complements it well. There's plenty of meat on top, so you'll feel satisfied. Another satisfying meal, thank you.

It's a bit difficult to describe the location, but it's in Nakaokoji, Higashiku, at 5-17. Please check the map on Tabelog for more details. It's a hot summer day in Sapporo, and when it's hot, I crave hot food. So, I visited my usual restaurant to have Okinawan soba. I parked my car in the empty parking lot next to the restaurant, went in, got my temperature checked, and sat at my usual table. I ordered the "Fluffy" as it was a limited edition dish. It arrived in 11-12 minutes, beautifully presented with small pieces of tender spare ribs on top. The soup had a light animal-based broth with a hint of seafood dashi, perfectly seasoned. The noodles were firm with a smooth texture, easy to slurp. The spare ribs were well-cooked and incredibly tender, especially the thin pieces. The dish was garnished with thinly sliced pickled ginger and chopped green onions. Overall, the dish was delicious, showcasing the chef's skills and care for the customers.

This is a shop located at 5-17-4 Atsubetsu Minami, Atsubetsu-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. This was my first visit to confirm the information provided. The building and interior are stylish. They offer a variety of menu items that explore the different flavors of pork, as well as a great value pork bowl set menu. I visited on a Thursday around 11:40 with a friend. There were 3 groups of customers before us. We sat at the counter near the window. We placed our order using a special form. We ordered the "Spicy Miso Pork Bowl and Soba Set". My friend upgraded to a large portion of noodles. The interior of the restaurant is decorated with handmade decorations, which made the time pass quickly. Our food was served in 15 minutes. The noodles and bowl were surprisingly filling, with a full portion for each of us. The soup was a bit light, but the handmade noodles were delicious. The visual presentation of the Spicy Miso Pork Bowl was impressive, with the pork being rich and flavorful. It's safe to say that we came here for this dish specifically. It was truly delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

It's a bit difficult to explain the exact location, but it's in Nakaokoji, Minami 5 Jo, 17 Ban, Atsubetsu Ward. You can always check the map on Tabelog for more details. It's a hot summer day in Sapporo, and when it's hot like this, I always crave Okinawa soba from a hot region. So, I decided to visit my usual spot this time. I parked my car in the parking lot next to the restaurant and entered the shop. After getting my temperature checked, I sat at my usual table and ordered the "Yugafu" from the menu. It arrived in about 11-12 minutes, with plenty of large pieces of pork cartilage in it. The soup had a strong animal-based flavor with a hint of fish stock, and the saltiness was just right for me. The hand-made noodles had a firm texture and were enjoyable to slurp. The generous portions of pork cartilage provided a satisfying chew. As Sapporo gets hotter, I may not be in Okinawa, but I look forward to coming back to this place for another visit when I need to replenish my salt intake after sweating.

This menu features a rare cut of pork belly cartilage called "Soki". The soup is gentle and not overpowering, with a soft and meaty texture. The noodles are smooth and slippery, different from traditional Okinawan soba. I am curious about the Spicy Miso Soki Bowl, so I will try it next time!

Fuuyuusai (Okinawa soba and creative noodle dishes) located in Atsubetsu-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido, has been in business for 19 years. The restaurant specializes in creative noodle dishes based on Okinawa soba. It is run by an elderly couple who live and operate the restaurant in a residential area in New Sapporo. They are open for lunch only from Wednesday to Sunday (currently open from Thursday to Saturday, 3 days a week). On days when they are closed, they are busy with preparations. The access to the restaurant is quite difficult. I was the last customer of the day, so I had the opportunity to chat with the husband and wife for about 15-20 minutes after the meal. They shared with me the story of how they decided to open an Okinawa soba restaurant in Hokkaido, their dedication to using local ingredients and traditional methods, such as making their own kansui from scratch. They use a traditional Okinawan method called "mokushiteuchi" to make the noodles, which involves kneading mineral-rich wood ash and natural salt into the flour. They mentioned that there are very few restaurants in Okinawa that still use this method. I tried their "urizun" dish (1,150 yen), which had a light and gentle soup that had a natural and soothing taste. The soup was so delicious that I ended up finishing it completely, which rarely happens with Okinawa soba. They also have a special focus on pork belly cartilage, breaking down the different parts to highlight their unique characteristics in the menu. They occasionally offer special menu items, like the homemade meat for the taco rice that was available that day. The menu lineup changes every 1-2 months, so you may get a different experience each time you visit. Overall, the Okinawa soba at Fuuyuusai is not only authentic but also incredibly delicious. It is even better than what you would find in Okinawa. Although the restaurant is hard to access and only serves a limited number of customers per day, I am definitely looking forward to visiting again. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

This is a shop I've wanted to visit for a long time, especially since it's in my neighborhood. I ordered the "Urizun" and the Shikwasa juice (totaling 1500 yen). "Urizun" had more meat than I expected, with about 10 pieces of 3x2 cm size cubes. The menu mentioned a good balance of meat and bones, but the soft bones were actually collagen-packed and very tender, requiring almost no chewing effort. The meat had a grilled surface but a gentle, light taste of the soup, which was surprisingly delicious with the natural flavor of the meat. The soup had a unique taste, not like dashi or other common broths, but more like a mineral-rich, clear and refreshing broth with a strong umami that faded away smoothly. The noodles were quite soft and delicate, with a slightly chewy texture and a thin square shape. Although lacking in firmness, they complemented the soup well. The Shikwasa juice was quite sour but tasty. The hot spring water, sourced from fossilized coral, was also unique in flavor and very refreshing. I recommend trying the water over regular water. You can opt for a larger portion of noodles or order the Shikwasa juice with the noodles. The limited menu that day was taco rice, which was not prominently displayed. No photography was allowed inside, only of the ordered items. Customers must remove their shoes before entering and undergo alcohol disinfection and temperature checks. Although masks are mandatory, there were no strict rules against first-time visitors, but it's best to read the entrance instructions carefully. You may have to wait at the entrance if it's not open yet. There are only two seats available near the stairs, so be prepared to stand if it's busy. I walked there, but taking a bus from Shin-Sapporo to "Atsubetsu Minami 5-chome" is the easiest route. Buses run about every hour, so plan accordingly. There is no parking available at the store, so walking, taking a taxi, or using the bus is recommended. If taking the bus, search for "Shin-Sapporo" as the departure point and "Atsubetsu Minami 5-chome" as the destination on the JR Hokkaido Bus website. The timetable provided here is outdated, so check the website for accurate schedules. Overall, it was a great dining experience!

It's a bit difficult to explain the location, as it is in Naka Koji, 17-5, Abukuma Minami, but you can always check the map on Tabelog for more details. I heard they have a new miso-flavored Okinawan soba, so I was curious and decided to visit the restaurant. Upon arrival, I parked my car in the parking lot next to the shop and entered. I went through a temperature check, looked at the daily specials menu on the way, and then sat at my usual table. I carefully looked at the order form and ordered the "Yugafu" with miso soup as planned, then waited for it to be served. It arrived in 12-13 minutes, with a light brown miso-colored soup. The soup had a slightly spicy miso flavor, with a slightly high salt content. Adding coriander to the soup changed it to a spicy miso flavor. The noodles were the familiar hand-cut ash wood noodles, with a firm texture that paired well with the miso soup. Additionally, there were yellow turmeric noodles and green fuchiba noodles as accents. The toppings included a generous amount of tender pork cartilage and chopped green onions. This miso-flavored Okinawan soba allows you to enjoy four different flavors: basic salt, spicy, soy sauce, and miso, making it a unique spot for Okinawan soba. They also offer a curry flavor as a special, so you can enjoy five different flavors.

It's a bit difficult to explain the exact location, but as always, please check the map on Tabelog for confirmation. In May, a variety show featured "Okinawa soba," so I felt like having it and decided to visit this restaurant again. I parked my car in the empty parking lot next to the store and entered. After getting my temperature checked at the entrance, I sat at my usual table and ordered the special "Urizun" dish. It arrived in 12-13 minutes, with soba noodles topped with grilled leeks and yellow and green noodles. The soup had a gentle seafood and animal broth flavor with a nice balance of saltiness. The yellow noodles were made with turmeric, the green noodles with fuchiba, and the main noodles had a rich whole wheat flavor. The dish also included tenderly cooked pork cartilage, surprise grilled leeks, and finely chopped scallions. I noticed a new menu item on the wall, so I look forward to returning to try it out.

This is a place that is difficult to describe, as it is located at Naka Koji, 5-17, Aobetsu Minami in Aobetsu Ward. It is best to check the exact location on the map on the restaurant review website like Tabelog. During the holidays, the restaurant is closed, so I visited this place once again to cure my Okinawa syndrome. Upon arrival, I parked my car in the parking lot next to the store, went in, took my temperature, and sat at my usual table. I decided to order the "Curry Noodle" from the daily special menu, which arrived in about 12-13 minutes. The curry aroma was enticing. I started with the soup, which had a strong curry flavor and was mildly spicy, making it easy to eat. The handmade noodles were chewy and easy to eat, although I had to be careful of the curry splashing. The tender pork spare ribs were flavorful, and the beans added a nice touch. It had been about 5 months since I last had the "Curry Noodle," and I look forward to trying more special menu items on my next visit.

It's a bit difficult to explain the location, as it is in Naka-koji, Abetsu Minami 5-17 in Abetsu-ku. It's best to check the map on Tabelog for the exact location. I heard that the usual restaurant has reduced its opening days and revamped its menu with revised prices, so I was curious and decided to visit. I parked my car in the parking lot next to the store, then entered the restaurant. After getting my temperature checked, I sat at my usual table. Today, I tried the "Gusuku" from the special menu, which I ordered by writing on the order sheet as the system had changed. It arrived in 8-9 minutes – a small portion with lots of soft cartilage. The soup had a light animal-based broth with a good blend of fish stock, and the saltiness was just right. The hand-cut ash noodle had a strong wheat flavor and a smooth texture. The small, tender cartilage pieces were easy to eat, and it was topped with finely chopped green onions and shredded ginger. I hope they continue making delicious Okinawan soba with such care and attention to detail.

It's a bit difficult to explain the exact location, but the restaurant is located at Naka Kojiro, 5-17 Abashiri Minami, in Atsubetsu Ward. To confirm the location, please check the map on Tabelog as usual. With the snow melting and March approaching, I realized I hadn't had my favorite dish, "Suba," yet. Feeling a bit of withdrawal, I made sure to visit the restaurant. I parked my car in the parking lot next to the store, walked in, got my temperature checked at the entrance, and sat at my usual table. I checked the daily special menu and decided to order the limited menu item called "Fluffy." It arrived in about 8-9 minutes, with a bowl full of tender pork rib soup. The soup had a light animal and seafood broth flavor, with just the right amount of saltiness. The noodles had a mix of whole wheat, giving them a nice wheat flavor and a good texture. The highlight was definitely the tender pork ribs, topped with shredded ginger and finely chopped green onions. Due to the impact of the pandemic, I haven't been to Okinawa in three years. I really hope to visit my beloved Okinawa this year.

I visited "Fuyusai" on this day. The shop is located in Atsubetsu-ku, Sapporo, with the nearest transportation being JR Shin-Sapporo Station and Tozai Line Shin-Sapporo Station. It is a bit far to walk from the station, so I took a taxi for the way there, which cost 1000 yen. If you go with multiple people, it may be better than taking the bus. There is limited parking for cars, but there are two spaces on the premises. I visited on a Saturday, arriving at the shop around 11:45 am. The shop is a house with a home-like atmosphere, and although there was no line, the seats seemed to be full. I ordered the Karasan Don Set for 1130 yen (including Okinawan soba and spicy miso pork bowl). While waiting for the food, I read about the shop's commitment to using wood ash in their Okinawan soba, a traditional method that is becoming rare due to the difficulty of obtaining the ingredients. The food was served after about 10 minutes, and the aroma of the spicy miso pork bowl was enticing. The soup, although not explained in detail, was clearly free of artificial seasonings and had a rich flavor that was enjoyable to drink. The noodles, with their unique texture and flavor, along with the well-cooked pork bowl, were incredibly delicious. It was my first time trying it, and I was extremely satisfied with my choice. I would like to visit again to try all the menu items. When searching for Okinawan soba nationwide, this shop was ranked first on Tabelog on the day I visited and even now. I was surprised, but considering my recent experience with Okinawan soba on the mainland, I can say that this shop truly deserves the top spot. If you want to taste the best Okinawan soba in Japan, even in the northern region rather than the southern tropical region, be sure to visit this place! Thank you for the delicious meal! ★3.77-8747

It's a bit difficult to explain the exact location, but the restaurant is located at 17 Nakakoji, Hokuetsu Minami 5-chome, so it's best to check the map on Tabelog for more details. When it comes close to lunchtime, I always start thinking about what to eat. That's why I always choose a reliable restaurant, and this time I visited this place again. I parked my car in the parking lot next to the restaurant and entered. After getting my temperature checked, I sat at a table for two. I looked at the menu and ordered the basic Okinawa soba called "Yuntaku" this time. It arrived in 7-8 minutes, beautifully presented with plenty of soft pork spare ribs. The soup had a light seafood and animal broth flavor, with just the right amount of saltiness. The hand-cut noodles had a good texture and were easy to slurp. The main ingredient, the pork spare ribs, was tender and delicious, especially the soft pork part. It was topped with shredded ginger and finely chopped green onions. It had been a while since I had the basic Okinawa soba, and I realized that I want to enjoy authentic Okinawa soba in Okinawa again.

It's a bit difficult to describe the location, as it's at Nakakoji in Abukuma South 5th block 17, so it's best to check the map on Tabelog as usual. In February, new menu items might be introduced, so I visited this restaurant to see if anything new was available. Upon arriving, I parked my car in the parking lot next to the shop and entered. I checked my temperature and then looked at the daily special menu, and to my surprise, there were new items available. I sat at my usual table and ordered the "Sabani," which took a bit of time to arrive as there were orders for five people ahead of me. The Okinawan soba soup was black, which was unexpected. The soup had a refined soy sauce flavor with hints of animal-based dashi and light fish stock, and surprisingly, it was not too salty. The noodles were slightly thinner and had a soft texture, which paired well with the soup. As for the toppings, they resembled those of Sabani from Okinawa, with tender pork cartilage, fatty tofu, grilled leeks, finely chopped leeks, and thinly sliced ginger. The arrangement of the toppings even depicted the shape of Sabani. Traditional Okinawan soba is usually soy sauce-based, and there are only a few places on the main island of Okinawa that serve it, so I was delighted to be able to enjoy it here in Sapporo.
