This is a ramen restaurant located inside a building just outside Sapporo Station. It was a bit difficult to find since it was my first time. The ramen is a spicy tantanmen with a strong presence of Sansho pepper. You can choose the level of spiciness and whether to add garlic. Since it was lunch before a meeting, I opted for no garlic, but I think it would have been even more delicious with it. Next time, I will challenge myself to try it with garlic.

I visited the restaurant again early in the evening. I was the only customer there today. I was unsure of what to order, but I decided to go with the numbing spicy Dan Dan noodles with a spice level of 2. The dish was served to me in about 5 minutes after I sat down. The aroma of Sichuan peppercorns was strong. I mixed everything well before taking a bite. The noodles had a nice chewy texture. The numbing spicy flavor of the Dan Dan noodles was just right, with a good kick from the Sichuan peppercorns. Lately, even when I ask for a very spicy dish, I haven't been feeling the numbness as much, so I was starting to wonder if I was getting used to it. But today, I finally felt that familiar tingling sensation on my lips. The spiciness and numbness warmed me up, and I enjoyed the meal. Thank you for the delicious food.

Located a 20-second walk from Sapporo Station North Exit, this restaurant serves incredibly delicious tantan noodles. For those who have been to DENO before, this place is perfect for a quick and tasty meal near Sapporo Station. Even if you haven't tried it yet, there are four locations in the city, so be sure to check it out! You're sure to be hooked on the addictive flavor of their tantan noodles!

The popular white sesame-free tantanmen lacked flavor. It was just average. It seemed to be popular as there was a short line. The restaurants near Sapporo Station were all crowded, but this one was relatively empty. Ratings out of 5: Taste ★★★, Atmosphere ★★★, Value ★★★. Overall: 3.0 points.

I checked the reviews on Tabelog and decided to try the cold tantan noodles, but unfortunately, they were not available as they are a summer limited item starting from September. So, I ordered the tantan noodles with soup instead. I purchased the food ticket from the vending machine and indicated my preferences for spiciness and numbness when handing it over. I received a seat number and moved to my seat with water and a paper apron. While waiting at my seat, I looked through what seemed to be a menu. The tantan noodles with soup had a good level of spiciness and numbness. I could also enjoy changing the flavor by adding condiments on the table. Overall, I was satisfied and full. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this restaurant after finishing a day trip bus tour to Furano and Biei on my second day of a two-night, three-day solo trip to Hokkaido in summer. I had already decided to have ramen in Sapporo since I was there. I ordered the following: - Tan Tan Men with soup: 1,000 yen - Bottle of beer (small): 400 yen I decided to try the popular Tan Tan Men with soup instead of the soupless version. I chose a spice level of 2 for both numbness and spiciness. It was recommended as one level higher than the basic option. Oh wow, I underestimated it, level 2 is quite intense. I usually think I can handle spicy food well, but I'm glad I didn't order level 3 or higher. It was a unique and delicious Tan Tan Men that I could only enjoy here. Thank you for the meal!

The numbness and spiciness were outstanding. Ramen. I visited for lunch on a weekday. There was no line. It's a ticket system. I chose the soupless tantan noodles. You can choose the level of numbness, spiciness, and garlic. I chose numbness level 30 and spiciness level 2. There are also Sichuan pepper, chili oil, and shichimi on the table. The aroma of Sichuan pepper spice is irresistibly appetizing. I mixed it all together and took a bite. The noodles are chewy flat noodles. The harmony of Sichuan pepper and white shrimp umami is excellent. With numbness level 30, it numbs your tongue firmly. It's amazing how the spiciness and umami come through in the midst of the numbness.

175Roh felt a sudden craving and went to eat. Requested a spice level of 2 with a numbing sensation. Based on past experience, pulled out the noodles, submerged the bean sprouts... Oh, forgot to take a photo. Too hungry to wait, took a bite first, then hurriedly took a picture. First, as it is... Delicious. Added some Sansho pepper for a bit more aroma, nice touch. Next, added some chili oil for more spiciness. Tastes good. Maybe a bit more spice would be nice... Added too much spice. A little more chili oil would have been just right. The spiciness overwhelmed the flavor of the soup... It's not good to overdo things. Moderation is key. Thank you for the meal.

Sapporo Station North Exit Area. Open from 11:00 to 22:45. Closed on Sundays. A popular restaurant that has been selected as one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog. Personally, I think this place is the one that made Szechuan-style dry tantanmen with numbing spice popular in Sapporo. When you enter the restaurant, there is a ticket machine, but the staff will confirm the level of spiciness, numbness, and noodle portion for you. The menu has expanded over the years, and even as a regular customer, I found it a bit challenging to choose. The interior is stylish and chic. I ordered the following: - Dry Tantanmen (1000 yen) with numbing level 2, spiciness level 2, and regular noodle portion. The sesame sauce base was rich, the minced meat flavor was strong, and it was very delicious! The addition of cashew nuts for texture, fragrance, and cilantro for bitterness (topping available) made it tasty even without the spiciness. This time, I chose the highest level of spiciness (level 2) and numbness (level 2) for free, and the chili oil was of good color and quite spicy. The Szechuan peppercorns from Szechuan province were incredibly numbing. The balance of richness, spiciness, numbness, sweetness, bitterness, and umami was at a high level and unique in taste. I opted for a regular noodle portion. The noodles were robust and had a chewy texture that did not lose to the spiciness. - Cold Dry Tantanmen (1200 yen) with numbing level 2, spiciness level 2, and medium noodle portion. This one was a bit lacking in flavor compared to the regular dry tantanmen. The dish looked visually appealing with a chilled plate, but the taste was not as good as the regular version. The noodles were also specific to this dish but not as impressive. When compared, the evaluation was quite lower. - Cilantro (200 yen) I prefer to add a little for extra flavor. - Small Rice (120 yen) The rice was delicious, even though it had been sitting for a while, and it was a nice way to finish the meal. Overall, there are self-service chili oil and Szechuan peppercorns on the table for those who like to add more heat. The restaurant offers paid toppings and extra spiciness for enthusiasts. It was a delicious meal! Thank you♪♪

Arrived before 6:00 pm on a regular day. One group of customers and one individual were already there, followed by two more groups and one individual. I wanted to eat cold tantanmen, so I went to the main store, but they said they were only serving it at other locations. This was my first visit to one of the three shops near Sapporo Station. It is located on the 1st floor of a building to the left as soon as you exit the north exit. They were playing modern jazz as background music. There were two staff members. I bought the summer limited edition "Cold Tantanmen without Soup" (1200 yen) from the ticket machine. I chose level 2 spiciness and level 1 numbness. It arrived shortly after. They advised me to mix it well before eating, but the noodles were hard to separate and the flat plate made the sauce spill easily, making it a bit difficult. The sesame sauce was smooth and delicious, with a slight sourness. The spiciness and numbness felt less intense than usual. Adding the chili pepper and Sichuan pepper from the table made it taste even better! The flat noodles were chewy but soft. They were specially made noodles. The meat miso and nuts were generously served, and the crispy fried wonton added a nice texture. It was satisfyingly delicious. However, it didn't quite reach the usual "DENO" quality... I'm not sure if it was because of the restaurant or the menu. Although the appearance and volume of noodles were good, it felt average once finished. In that sense, the price was slightly on the higher side. The "soupless" option is available until July 15, after which they will switch to the "with soup" version. Looking forward to trying that!【Recommended Cold Ramen in Sapporo for the Summer】https://tabelog.com/matome/24584/

I used this restaurant for lunch during a business trip. After finishing a morning meeting around 12 o'clock, I took a stroll nearby. I decided to line up at this place without any information, as my colleague who was also on the business trip was attracted to the long line. I have a weakness for spicy food, so I ended up choosing the soup-less white sesame tantan noodles, which seemed to be their main dish, at the ticket machine before lining up. While waiting in line, I was asked if I wanted my dish to be spicy on a scale of 1 to 3 for both numbness and spiciness. I like spicy food, but since it was my first time at this restaurant, I wasn't sure about the level of spiciness. I decided to go with a level 2 for both. As a result, level 2 was just right for me to enjoy the dish. It seems like the people around me are ordering different dishes than the soup-less white sesame tantan noodles. Maybe regular customers like to try something different each time? I would like to come back here again to try various dishes if I have the chance. Personally, I prefer this place over soup curry.

I visited around 2pm on a Tuesday in July. There was no line at that time, so we were able to enter right away. After some thought, I ordered the spicy tantanmen and my companion ordered the tantanmen without black sesame soup. You can choose the level of spiciness from none, 1, 2, 3, and so on. The staff recommended level 1, but I chose level 2 since I like spicy food. We waited about 10 minutes and then our dishes arrived. The soup was visibly red, and when I took a sip, it was indeed spicy but also flavorful. It wasn't too overpowering, so I enjoyed it. The nutty texture added a nice touch to the dish. Personally, I would have liked to taste more sesame, but overall, it was a delicious tantanmen. Maybe I should have gone with level 1 spiciness to fully appreciate the flavor. I also tried a bit of my companion's soupless tantanmen, which had flat noodles and was also tasty. I might go for that next time since the flavor was even stronger. I didn't expect to eat tantanmen in Hokkaido, but this place was just as good as or even better than tantanmen restaurants in other prefectures that I've tried. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the restaurant during dinner time. It was just the right time for dinner, but the restaurant wasn't too crowded, with only about 4 other customers. Since it's July now and almost summer, I decided to try the cold tantanmen. I ordered the cold tantanmen with a spice level of 2 and a mild level of spiciness. The staff explained that the spice level 2 is very spicy. The noodles were nicely chilled with a good texture and chewiness. It was very delicious, unlike before when they were not cold enough. The spiciness was just right, not too overwhelming. I added some extra sansho pepper from the table to enhance the flavor. Despite being in a hurry, the dish was served quickly, and I enjoyed it. Thank you for the meal.

The rich tantan noodles are spicy and numbing! The noodles are slightly flat, allowing the sauce to coat them well. Because of this, the flavor feels very intense. It was too strong for me to finish till the end. Mixing rice into it seems like a good idea? Thank you for the meal.

Suspicious Gourmet Expedition in Sapporo. For lunch during the Hokkaido expedition, I tried tantanmen. Tantanmen in Hokkaido may be a bit different, but I visited a popular shop in Sapporo. I arrived at the shop at 11 am when it opened. I was the first customer. I purchased a meal ticket at the vending machine in front of the shop. I chose the White Sesame Soup-less Tantanmen (1,000 yen), which seemed to be the shop's main menu. I asked for the recommended level of spiciness and numbness. After a short wait, the tantanmen arrived. I mixed the ingredients and noodles before eating. The noodles were made with locally sourced wheat from Hokkaido. The moderate spiciness and tingling sensation on the tip of the tongue were good. It was very delicious.

Visited the restaurant for the first time on May 22, 2023. Ordered the soupless sesame tantanmen with extra noodles. Regretted my choice as soon as I sat down. After finishing the meal, I realized I could have turned the leftover sauce into a porridge or risotto-like dish with rice, egg, and cheese. I should have done that instead! The tantanmen was really delicious!

I visited the restaurant around 2 pm on Monday, May 15, 2023. There were only a few customers, with two already seated and one more arriving later. I ordered the soup-less black sesame tantanmen with a spice level of 1 for both heat and numbing sensation. I sat at the empty counter seats and waited for my bowl to arrive. I remember visiting a restaurant from the same chain in the past, which I believe was where I first tried tantanmen in Sapporo. Since then, I have visited their branches in Tokyo as well. The soup-less tantanmen here has a generous amount of sauce, which I like. The texture of the noodles is also great, making this one of my favorite restaurants.

Visited alone at 10:00 PM. Non-smoking. I've been here almost 10 times and the taste is consistently delicious. The spiciness and numbness were recommended levels. I ordered the white sesame tantanmen with rice and onsen egg as toppings, and ate them by adding them to the soup at the end. Also had a Ebisu black beer. It might be the first time I've had it with soup.

During a family trip in 2023.5, we decided to extend our dinner by heading to DENO175° for their weekend special, the White Sesame-free Dan Dan noodles with no soup (spiciness level 2, heat level 1, small portion). The ability to choose the level of spiciness and heat more precisely was a welcome surprise. As soon as the dish arrived, a refreshing scent of Sichuan pepper filled the air. The long noodles were accompanied by a strong Sichuan pepper kick, almost to the point of bitterness. By the end of the meal, our mouths had lost all sensation. Although this unique dish is no longer available in Niigata, its eccentric personality continues to delight fans of bold flavors.

The Inago Ramen priced at 1300 yen seems expensive, but the noodles in the photo are beckoning me. I asked for a spiciness level of 1. The first bite was bland, with the bean sprouts just boiled. So I pushed the bean sprouts down, pulled the noodles up, and tried again. Wow! I love the taste. It's not as spicy as it looks, but as I continue eating, I start to sweat. The soft bean sprouts blend well with the soup. I might like this better than soup-less tantanmen. I bought breath care at the drugstore on my way back. I couldn't skip the garlic after all. Thank you for the meal.
