Today is my personal day off on Monday. The weather is nice and humid, so I'm thinking of going out to eat ramen. The place is at Tahei Station, which is three stops from my local station, but I'm not good at getting off at a new station and walking from there (laughs). Plus, there are no prominent landmarks in the residential area, so I'll be relying on NAVITIME again today (laughs). Well, it used to be a field or rice paddy that was turned into a residential area, so the roads are straightforward and easy to follow, but still, it's a bit tricky for me. I arrived at the restaurant ten minutes before the opening time of 11:00. There was already a woman sitting on the bench in front of the store, waiting for it to open. I tried to sit down too, but it was too hot with the hot air blowing from the air conditioner unit outside? As the opening time approached, a man accompanying the woman appeared, but for some reason, the older man who came after them didn't line up and started playing with his smartphone in front of the shutter. Even though other customers who arrived later were lining up behind me. When the shutter opened, the smartphone man went straight into the store without waiting in line... I wonder who he is? I sat at the counter and ordered the "White Shoyu Ramen for 800 yen" and "Small Rice for 100 yen." There were already three customers ahead of me, but the ramen was served in about 15 minutes. It looked really good, with a transparent golden broth and toppings like chashu, menma, mitsuba, fu, seaweed, and green onions. The rice was a bit soft but freshly cooked. The clear broth had a good balance of chicken bone and soy sauce flavors, slightly salty but delicious. The medium-thin curly noodles were firm and tasty, complementing the broth well. The fu soaked in the soup was incredibly delicious. The refreshing yet flavorful broth with a hint of sweetness from the white soy sauce was delightful. The meaty chashu with a subtle taste was quite satisfying. It was nice to find a hidden chicken meatball at the bottom. The broth was so delicious that I wanted to drink it all. The overall balance of the mild broth with no overpowering toppings was perfect. By the way, there was a notice that they will be closed for a temporary period from July 11th to 20th as they will be participating in a department store event in Nagoya. I think I want to try their "Nama Shoyu Ramen" next time (laughs). Thank you for the meal.

I only worked for 5 hours... I was starving and decided to visit Kokumin Shokudo. A friend recommended this place, so here I am! I quickly ordered the spicy miso ramen (extra large, extra spicy +50 yen) with a side of small rice. It arrived in about 7 minutes! I dug in right away... It's deliciously spicy! The extra spiciness really hits the spot! It's quite spicy because I ordered it extra hot, but it also has a refreshing spiciness to it. And it doesn't make me cough at all! That's important. I didn't bother changing the flavor, just slurped it all up along with the small rice. It was a great combination! I finished everything @Yuma, feeling satisfied. Lately, I've been discovering so many delicious restaurants. Now, I'm feeling so happy that I might just take a nap... Goodnight, buzzing cicadas!

Kokumin Shokudo. I ordered the cold green shiso tsukemen. It's a refreshing choice for a hot summer day with the nice flavor of green shiso. The noodles were thin, which is different from other places where tsukemen noodles are usually thick. The kombu broth was just right and I ended up finishing every drop. It was incredibly delicious. I will definitely come back again.

I ordered the "Raw Soy Sauce Ramen (850 yen)" with extra noodles (+100 yen) at this popular ramen shop in Kita Ward. When the ramen was served, I noticed that there was no egg included, which was a disappointment. In the past reviews, it seems like a half egg was included, but it appears to have been removed recently. The flavor of the ramen was rich and delicious, and I especially enjoyed the flat curly noodles. However, the lack of egg was a big downside for me. Overall, the ramen was tasty, but without the egg, I probably won't be visiting again. If the egg was included, I would have rated it 3.7. Thank you for the meal.

A popular shop that frequently participates in department store events in Tokyo. It seems they will be participating in a event at Keio Department Store in Shinjuku in September as well. Located in a suburb of Sapporo. Visited at 11:45 with 5 customers already there. The interior of the shop has only a few counter seats. Orders are taken verbally. I ordered the "Raw Soy Sauce Ramen (850 yen)" and it was served in about 5 minutes. The soup had chicken oil on the surface. It had a refined taste with a clear and sharp raw soy sauce flavor, along with the umami and richness of chicken. It was quite to my liking! It's not your traditional soy sauce ramen, but a sophisticated type that you can drink up easily. The noodles were hand-kneaded, curly, flat noodles, which were quite good. Possibly homemade? The toppings included a large slice of chashu, well-soaked wheat gluten, thick menma, mitsuba, thin naruto, seaweed, and a chicken meatball at the bottom. There was also a faint scent of yuzu. Each topping played a supporting role without overpowering, creating a well-balanced dish. Overall, it was a ramen that I really liked, with no flaws in terms of service and value for money. The only downside might be the location. However, I would like to revisit and try their "White Soy Sauce Ramen (800 yen)" which is said to be the shop owner's recommendation and the first ramen in Sapporo to use white soy sauce, as well as their miso ramen.

On August 8, 2023 (Tuesday), for lunch, I had white soy sauce ramen with extra noodles. The parking lot was empty, so I decided to go in without hesitation! It was really delicious (^_^) ------------------------------- ◆Location: 1F North River Building, 3-3-3 Taihei 4-jo, Kita-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido ◆Phone: Not available ◆Business Hours: 11:00-14:30 ◆Closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays ◆Parking available ------------------------------- #Kokuminshokudo #Taihei #Sapporo #Hokkaido #Around Nishi 20-jo, Sapporo #Delicious #Miura Jin #Niseko Onsen Club #Love Hot Springs #Everyday is Ramen Day #Love Soba #Soba #Ramen #Salt Ramen #Soy Sauce Ramen #Miso Ramen

After golf practice ⛳️, I went to #Kokuminshokudo for lunch. It's one of the most famous restaurants in Kita Ward. Since it was my first visit, I ordered the default #namajishoyuramen. The chicken broth has a rich flavor, and the chicken oil does a great job. The hand-kneaded flat noodles are worth mentioning. They have a smooth texture and a good chewiness. Overall, the quality is high and well put together. I will definitely come back again. #ramen #ramennoodles #ramenlover #rameninstagrammer #ramen #rameninstagrammer #SapporoGourmet #TaiheiGourmet.

I knew the name but visited for the first time. I ordered the raw soy sauce ramen at the top of the menu. The appearance is excellent. The noodles are flat, and the soup has a straightforward raw soy sauce flavor without any off-tastes. You can feel the owner's dedication. It seems like a husband and wife run the place, as the service was quick and efficient. I would like to try the miso ramen next time. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant had been empty for a while, with only one car parked in the side parking lot. I ordered the Fish Flavor Ramen for 800 yen and found it to be delicious with its thin noodles and Asahikawa-style soy sauce fish soup. The soup had a hint of sweetness and reminded me of Takahashi in Namporo. The addition of chopped onions and wheat gluten was a nice touch. The restaurant quickly filled up with customers, showing its popularity. The staff were friendly and the overall experience was great. Thank you for the meal!

Despite being a popular restaurant, this was only my second visit. The menu is extensive and I wanted to try various items, so I was finally able to visit! The small restaurant has only counter seats. They are very conscious about infection prevention, and if it's crowded, they ask you to wait in your car. The lady who served us was very nice. Last time, I had the "namashoyu" ramen, so this time I decided to try the "shiroshoyu" ramen, but I ended up ordering the namashoyu again because I'm not a fan of white soy sauce. - Namashoyu ramen (namasho) @850 yen - Large serving @100 yen [Soup] The clear broth soup has a soy sauce-like color. The first sip reminded me of a soy sauce ramen made without artificial seasonings - gentle in flavor. It's a light soup with a good balance of chicken umami, easy to drink. Delicious. [Noodles] Hand-kneaded, high-hydration, curly noodles. The noodles lack in flavor and aroma, but the chewy and elastic texture is fantastic. The firmness is just right, very tasty noodles. This type of noodle can be divisive, but it might appeal to a wide range of people. [Chashu] The chashu was quite delicious. [Menma] Sweetly seasoned bamboo shoots. Very soft, well-prepared menma without any fibrous texture. [Green onions] The green onions had a nice spiciness and a strong umami flavor. Very tasty. [Overall] I was satisfied with the other toppings as well, but I noticed that most customers around me were ordering the white soy sauce ramen. I will definitely try that next time. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal♪

Sapporo is a highly competitive area for ramen, and this place is one of my top choices. I always end up ordering the shiro shoyu ramen, but honestly, everything on the menu is delicious. Usually, when a menu has a lot of options, it means that the quality is not great across the board, but that's not the case here. No matter what you order, it's always tasty. Sometimes they have long-term closures, which I find endearing - maybe they're off on a family trip? But if you happen to visit when they're closed, you'll be left with no other options around here (laughs). This place is my favorite.

The second stop on my third trip to Hokkaido was Kokumin Shokudo in Tahei Station, a shop specializing in Seiryu-style ramen. The shop is located in a residential area rather than the city center. It has only counter seats, with a waiting area at the back. I ordered the Shiro Shoyu Ramen priced at 800 yen. The ramen arrived with a delightful aroma, and the soup looked delicious with its golden color. The base of the soup seemed to be chicken broth, combined with a slightly sweet white soy sauce, making it very easy to drink, perhaps due to its low fat content. The thin straight noodles were well coated with the soup. The toppings included pork chashu, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, wheat gluten, seaweed, and trefoil. The pork chashu had a good chewy texture, and the bamboo shoots were thick and crunchy. The wheat gluten soaked up the soup nicely, making it a perfect finish. The light and refreshing soup was so delicious that I wanted to have it every day. Thank you for the meal.

This is a ramen shop in Taihei, Kita Ward, Sapporo City. I visited after missing out on their stalls at events a few times. This place has only counter seats, divided into 4 booths with 2 seats each, accommodating a maximum of 4 people. They are taking strict measures against COVID-19, but their turnover rate seems quite challenging. I ordered the signature fish broth punch AKR ramen with yellow noodles, medium spicy. I always end up ordering this here. The smell of curry fills the shop when you order this, which can be a bit embarrassing, but I can't help it because I love it. The fish broth punch, with the umami of seafood, the spiciness of curry, and a hint of bitterness, is delicious. The noodles are thin with a high water content, more similar to Kushiro than Asahikawa, and I personally like them. The medium spicy wasn't too hot, so I might go for extra spicy next time. But I'm also curious about the regular fish broth punch. Hmm, deciding on my next order is already a dilemma. Thank you for the meal!

The raw dishes are definitely delicious, but if you can come multiple times, I recommend trying a different menu. However, if you can't come often, the raw dishes are the only choice. I guarantee the deliciousness (note: I also guarantee the other menus). I can drink double the amount of soup and eat three times the amount of noodles. That's how delicious it is. It may be a clumsy expression, but I hope it gets the message across. I want to work near this restaurant because I want to try various dishes. I look forward to coming back.

I visited for lunch. I came here after seeing it in a magazine. There were customers here even before the store opened; it seems to be a popular place. This time, I ordered the "White Soy Sauce Ramen" and "Half Fried Rice". The fried rice took a long time to come out. It arrived when I had already eaten more than half of the ramen. I wish it had come out a bit faster. The ramen was okay. Taste preferences vary from person to person, after all! Next time, I want to come back to try the dipping noodles. Thank you for the meal٩(๑❛ᴗ❛๑)۶

The noodles, soup, and chashu are all delicious. This shoyu ramen has mitsuba in it, so I think adding 'mochi' as an extra topping would be great. The taste of Kokuminshokudo's raw soy sauce ramen would go well with mochi. I haven't tried mochi ramen yet, but I think it would work well with this soup...

I revisited Kokumin Shokudo and this time I ordered the White Shoyu Ramen for 800 yen. It has a delicate and light flavor, but you can still taste the richness. The medium-thin curly noodles paired well with the broth. It was delicious!

Kokuminshokudo is a popular restaurant. I waited a bit before entering. I ordered the seafood punch red ramen (spicy taste) with medium spiciness, which I had been wanting to try. The noodles were thin and had a seafood flavor with a punch. It was delicious! I also love the ramen with gluten in it. I enjoyed it very much. I will definitely visit again.

On the day of the spring equinox, we arrived around 11:30. The restaurant was full, and we were the first in line to wait. The owner seemed a bit intimidating, but the female staff members had a warm and pleasant attitude, which created a nice atmosphere. Our food was served faster than expected. The soup had a rich flavor without being too sweet, and the chewy noodles had a unique texture. The fried wheat gluten soaked up the soup and was delicious. I found a restaurant that I want to visit again after a long time. Thank you for the meal.

Kokumin Shokudo's fresh soy sauce ramen (nama shou) for 800 yen. The soup has a refreshing soy sauce flavor that you can keep drinking forever, haha. The noodles are medium-thick and curly, with a nostalgic taste that reminds me of the ramen I had somewhere before. Turns out it's a White Shoyu ramen from Shirakawa. It brought back memories of my time working in Fukushima. It was so delicious that I finished every last drop and bite. I'm curious about their White Soy Sauce ramen too, so I'll definitely go back. Thank you for the meal!

One day, during shopping, it was time for lunch in Taihei. I searched and found this place. When I parked my car in the parking lot next to the restaurant, everyone was waiting inside the car. There is a system where you write your name on the waiting list at the entrance of the restaurant and wait because the restaurant has limited seating. Now, entering the restaurant. The light ramen is popular here, but my attention was drawn to the "sesame spicy noodles" towards the end of the menu. The description says, "Our restaurant is known for its light taste, but the spicy noodles are also good... probably." I interpreted the message "even the medium spiciness is quite spicy" and chose the medium spiciness. The noodles arrived shortly. The blue bowl without the Kokumin Shokudou logo is covered with sesame seeds. First, the soup. The sweetness of sesame comes first, followed by spiciness. You can also feel the tingling sensation of Sansho pepper. As you continue eating, you feel sweetness and umami at the back of your mouth, while the front half is filled with spiciness. This unique texture is different from the typical tantanmen. The bamboo shoots have a strong presence in this dish. The minced meat is cut into small pieces rather than ground, and it is well seasoned. This is delicious. The attentive service also enhances the enjoyment of the food. The taste is great for the price. The high reputation is well-deserved.
