I took a streetcar in Sapporo and got off at the Ropeway entrance station, just 1 minute away. The shop is located along a main street and is a very popular spot known for its large portions. Over 80% of customers order the famous fried rice, which comes with ramen as a side dish, making it a great value. We arrived around 12:15 on a weekday and there was a line of about 15 people in front of us. We waited for about 1 hour and finally entered the restaurant. We waited for about 20 minutes inside before our food was served, so it took about 90 minutes from arriving at the restaurant to getting our meal. The turnover rate is slow, so it's best to get a numbered ticket at 9:00 and come back for the 10:30 opening. The restaurant has counter seats and two tatami rooms in the back. There are two cute pandas under the TV for some reason. We ordered the fried rice (¥1000) and the pork cutlet curry (¥1000). The curry portion was normal size and tasted rich and delicious. The fried rice was served first, weighing about 700g, and when combined with the ramen, it was over 1kg. Next, the ramen arrived, with the flavor (soy sauce, miso, or salt) being random. The fried rice is a popular choice, and everyone around us who ordered it also had ramen as a side dish. The hot fried rice was delicious, with a moist texture and a generous amount of meat. I ended up with salt flavor for the ramen, but it turned out to be just right in terms of saltiness with a light aftertaste. The yellow curly noodles were cooked perfectly, and the thinly sliced pork belly on top was melt-in-your-mouth tender. Overall, it's best to go with plenty of time to spare due to the long wait, and make sure to enter through the actual entrance, not the front door. The restaurant is only open during the day until 3 pm. The friendly and kind owner cooks alone, tirelessly shaking the heavy wok, so his arm must get tired.

This is a restaurant that I always wanted to try, as there is always a line outside. After climbing Mt. Moiwa, I arrived at the restaurant 5 minutes after it opened. The inside was full and there were 12-13 people waiting outside. It was a refreshing day, so waiting in line wasn't too bad. However, I ended up being seated 1 hour and 40 minutes later, and the fried rice was ready 2 hours later. The young owner was working hard, shaking the pan diligently to cook. Despite the long wait, his effort made it bearable. It's not just a place known for large portions, as the fried rice was incredibly delicious without being greasy. The ramen was also good, served hot with a slightly strong saltiness. Although I usually don't like chewy noodles, the ramen was still tasty. The owner even apologized for the long wait when handing me the ramen. It was definitely worth waiting for two hours. On my way out, I thanked them again, and there were already over 20 people waiting in line. I made sure to take the leftover fried rice home.

Fried rice for 1,100 yen, container for 40 yen, total 1,140 yen. It was delicious. I'm so full. I thought it was just a rumor that ramen comes with the fried rice soup, but it really did. The fried rice had a nice black pepper flavor and the rice was slightly on the dry side. It had a good salty taste and was delicious. The salt ramen was chicken salt flavor with thick curly noodles typical of Sapporo ramen. The chashu was quite tasty, thin and tender, really good. I lined up at 14:50 and they closed the shutters at 15:00. I got my food at 15:50. I only ate half of the fried rice and got a Tupperware to take the rest home. The owner was smiling and seemed like a nice person.笑

I visited a super popular restaurant when I had some extra time. The owner was cooking each dish one by one, so I waited while watching, and finally got my meal (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o))) It was a huge portion of fried rice and ramen with lots of chashu on top, which they called soup. The taste was somehow nostalgic and I finished it all in no time! You can also get the fried rice to go (｡ >艸<) I got a large minced cutlet to go. Thank you for the meal m(_ _)m

I had katsu curry. I knew that if you order fried rice, it comes with ramen, so my friend ordered fried rice and I ordered katsu curry, but the katsu curry also came with ramen. I didn't know they were giving out numbered tickets starting at 7 am, so when I arrived at 10 am, I was leisurely hanging out in the parking lot. I got number 13. Because the portions are large and turnover is slow, I had to wait in line and by the time I finished eating, it was 12:30 pm. If you have leftovers, you can buy a container for 40 yen to take them home. The katsu curry wasn't as big as the fried rice, but I managed to finish it.

First visit. I've been wanting to come here for a while, and since I had a day off from work, I finally made it! I arrived around 10:30 am on a weekday, and there were already about 10 people in line, with a wait of 1.5 hours! Even when I left, the line was still going. The owner was tirelessly frying up fried rice in a wok, and despite the heat, he had a smile on his face. The fried rice was delicious! It had lots of ingredients and was reliably tasty. The soup that came with it (char siu ramen, in this case it was salty) was also delicious. The noodles were chewy medium-thick curly noodles, which gave a nostalgic feeling. The char siu was melt-in-your-mouth tender. My daughter loves fried rice, so we got a takeout container and filled it up to take home, but there was still quite a bit of fried rice left. I'm full. If it's not too crowded, I'd love to come back again. It's a nice atmosphere and I enjoyed the taste!

When you order fried rice, you will get ramen instead of soup as a side dish! The flavor of the ramen is random (soy sauce, salt, miso). The ramen comes with a lot of chashu, almost like you ordered chashu noodles, and it's a full portion of ramen. The fried rice portion is about four times larger than a regular serving! You can take the leftovers home, so you can see if you can finish it or not when you visit. The owner has a quiet demeanor but is incredibly charming. It's a popular place, so you may have to wait in line, but it's a place I highly recommend visiting!

I ordered the "Giant Fried Rice" (1,000 yen) at this place called "Kokuichiban" in Sapporo, which is known for its large portions. The fried rice comes in a 700g serving and comes with a ramen on the side, filled with plenty of char siu pork. And all of this for just 1,000 yen! The ramen I got was miso flavor, but they also have soy sauce and salt flavors available. The food was surprisingly delicious, and the restaurant was clean and well-maintained. However, I had to wait for 1 hour and 30 minutes from lining up at 1:45 pm on a weekday until the food was served. Despite the long wait, it was worth it for the experience. I managed to finish everything and when I got up to pay, the owner peeked at my empty plate and seemed impressed. It was a fun experience, and I would definitely go back. Next time, I want to try their recommended pork cutlet curry. The value for money is great, the owner is friendly, and I had a good time. Thank you for the meal!

Even after waiting in line for 2 and a half hours, the fried rice here is so good that you'll still want to eat it! The portion size is huge and incredibly delicious. You can tell it's worth the wait! And to top it off, they surprise you with a regular-sized bowl of char siu ramen. This time, I ordered the salt ramen and the char siu was incredibly tasty! And the best part is, it's only 1,000 yen! (You can also take home the fried rice for an extra 40 yen for the container). It was so delicious that I ended up finishing everything and left with a full belly! The fried rice is so delicious, so be sure to try it out.

I always had the image of lining up, but never got the chance to go. I lined up at the opening time of 10:30, and finally got to eat around 12 o'clock. Regardless of the turnover rate, the rumors were true about the volume. An unbelievable amount of fried rice and a regular miso ramen as a service? It was too much to eat, so we ended up taking the fried rice home.

There was a lot of lining up and they were handing out numbered tickets before the store opened. I visited around 9:50 am on a weekday (opening at 10:30 am). I was given ticket number 4 and when I returned to the store around 10:20 am, the ticket number was already at 8. By opening time, there were already about 6 groups waiting in line. Finally, I entered the store. Many people who received tickets seemed to be regulars as they were friendly with the owner. Everyone just said "fried rice, please," so I followed suit and ordered the same. The owner, working alone, served fried rice and ramen to two groups at a time, so it took about 30 minutes from seating to serving for ticket number 4. The long-awaited moment arrived! First the fried rice, then the ramen. The ramen was miso flavor, which I love. The fried rice was delicious with plenty of pork. I don't know about others, but for me, it was amazing! Of course, I finished everything! The fried rice had lots of pork and was delicious, while the ramen had so much pork it was almost like a pork noodle dish! It might be a good deal for big eaters! I will definitely go back!

In April 2023 at 10:50 AM, I visited a famous restaurant known for its large portions that has been a hot topic among YouTubers. I arrived at 8:30 AM and received a waiting ticket. The restaurant starts giving out about 30 tickets in front of the store at 7 AM. As the opening time (10:30 AM) approached, a female staff member came out and called out the numbers in order. The first round called up to about the 10th spot, with spots 10-12 inside the store and 13 and beyond waiting outside. There are seats for 6 people in the waiting area. Those who tried to line up without a ticket were told they would have to wait for 3 hours. Saturdays are usually busy, but today was said to be exceptionally crowded. The first group was finally able to sit at around 11:25 AM, about an hour after opening. The restaurant has 8 counter seats and two 4-person table seats in a raised area. At 11:45 AM, I was seated at one of the table seats and ordered the pork cutlet curry and fried rice. In the kitchen, the owner was cooking while an elderly woman assisted, and a young woman efficiently served the customers. It was mentioned that they can only make fried rice in batches of 2. The sound of the cooking was quite pleasing to the ears. Finally, at 12:30 PM, the food was served. The fried rice had an overwhelming visual impact, with simple ingredients such as pork, green onions, and eggs. It was more moist than dry, and the plentiful pork was incredibly tender and flavorful. It was very delicious. The pork cutlet curry had a crispy cutlet and a rich, flavorful curry sauce, which paired excellently. However, the fried rice was so impressive that it overshadowed the curry. The "pork belly chashu ramen" had a thick, tender pork belly chashu covering the noodles in the broth, which was randomly served in soy sauce, miso, or salt flavors, and this time it was miso and salt. The quality of the ramen soup was high, with the miso being rich and flavorful, and the salt being a delicious, flavorful ramen. I personally really liked the salt flavor. I couldn't finish the fried rice, so I had it as a takeout (container cost 40 yen). Even when I ate it at home, it was still delicious. Thank you for the meal♪♪

Dokamori is a famous restaurant. When you order the fried rice (rumored to be 3 servings), it comes with a small portion of ramen as a side soup. On this day, I had the miso chashu ramen. The fried rice had a strong chashu sauce flavor, like the fried rice you'd get at a ramen shop. It was a bit salty but still delicious. The ramen had a ginger flavor and thin, curly noodles with a firm texture. Both dishes were tasty as expected, but I couldn't finish them. Sorry. (You can also get them to go.) It took 2 hours for the food to be served this time.

It was delicious! Towards the end, it started to taste salty, but the pickled ginger saved the day! I hadn't eaten much all day, so I managed to finish it somehow. I won't forget the taste of the water I drank at the end. If you go with just a half-hearted attitude, you'll be in trouble, haha. The staff were very polite and it was a lovely restaurant. 😊

Kokuichiban Ramen Midoriya 011-551-4469 2-13 Minami 18-jo Nishi 15-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido https://tabelog.com/hokkaido/A0101/A010104/1002116/ Located just a 1-minute walk from the Sapporo Streetcar Ropeway Entrance Station, this popular restaurant "Kokuichiban Ramen Midoriya" is known for serving a delicious soup that comes with every order of fried rice. I visited this place and had a great experience. I arrived at 9:00 am to get a numbered ticket and entered the restaurant when it opened at 10:30 am. The fried rice costs 1000 yen and comes with a side of soup (miso chashu noodles). The fried rice was generously portioned with about 2 to 2.5 bowls of rice and topped with plenty of chashu. Additionally, a bowl of delicious soup is served on the side. The chashu used in both the fried rice and ramen was incredibly tasty. The portion size was so large that I couldn't finish it all, so I paid an extra 40 yen for a takeout container. The process of making two servings of fried rice at once and serving the miso chashu noodles later is quite unique and adds to the allure of the place. Even in the cold winter weather, there were people waiting outside due to the restaurant's popularity. Overall, "Kokuichiban Ramen Midoriya" is a must-visit spot for those who enjoy flavorful dishes and generous portions.

I found a super cost-effective restaurant after a long time! The portion size is huge for a regular serving, and it comes with plenty of char siu noodles included! And guess what! It's only 1000 yen including tax! The portion is so big that most people end up taking leftovers home with a paid container system. The waiting time is quite long, with only 2 people in line it took about 1 hour. The food took more than 20 minutes to come out after being seated. It took over 90 minutes from entering to leaving the restaurant. But the char siu fried rice with plenty of delicious char siu is amazing! The ramen comes in salt, soy sauce, miso, and flavor options, and it also has plenty of char siu noodles, making it super delicious. This unbeatable combination for only 1000 yen including tax is truly remarkable! It is definitely worth a visit, but be prepared to wait for over 90 minutes! Even with only 2 people in line, you'll still wait for over 45 minutes. And after being seated, you'll wait for over 20 minutes for the food to come out. But the wait is worth it! Enjoy!

This restaurant is famous for serving a generous portion of fried rice with ramen when you order fried rice. A few days ago, when I went there, the parking lot next to the restaurant (3 spaces) was full. There was already a line forming in the morning, so I arrived around 10:00, ten minutes before the 10:30 opening time. Luckily, I was the first one there! After the restaurant opened, the owner asked me for a number tag, which I didn't have because I didn't know about it. Fortunately, I was fifth in line, so I was able to get in! Inside the restaurant, there is a counter and a raised seating area. I ordered the fried rice for 1000 yen. From the counter, I could see the owner vigorously tossing the wok to make the fried rice. The finished fried rice was pressed into a bowl and then flipped onto a plate by a staff member. Since the fried rice is a large portion, they can only make two servings at a time, which explains why it takes some time to serve. Then, they served the ramen. The plate of fried rice was piled high with toppings, including a generous amount of pork slices. The ramen also had thinly sliced pork that melted in your mouth. The ramen was miso-flavored and used some seasoning, but it was still quite tasty. I couldn't finish everything, so I got a pack for 40 yen to take the leftover fried rice home. I enjoyed the fried rice over the next two days. The owner mentioned that on weekdays, it's not as crowded at opening time, but on weekends, it gets extremely busy, so be aware of that. Overall, it was a great value for the money! Thank you for the meal!

It's been a while since my last visit. About two years, I think? I arrived at 10:30 am and it took almost 2 hours until I got my food... Today is their special day! If you don't decide on that, it can be quite tough ^_^ For those who live nearby, it might be smoother to come and get a numbered ticket. Also, the parking space is limited, so it's quite a tough battle. But the fried rice is really delicious. And the ramen as a side dish is also great. My stomach is fully satisfied. I'll take half of the fried rice home. I couldn't finish it all, haha.

I went to a popular restaurant called Kokuban for a refreshing holiday. It was quite crowded, with a long wait before being seated. Finally, I got the fried rice with soup (regular miso ramen), and it was worth the wait. The fried rice was delicious and satisfying. Even though they also offer a complimentary ramen, the fried rice was so good and filling that it was worth waiting in line for. I also tried the complimentary ramen which reminded me of the taste from my childhood. I finished the mountain-sized fried rice and it was a great meal. It was unnecessary to have any snacks for drinking later. Overall, it was a nice experience!

I finally visited a restaurant I had always wanted to go to. Here are some important points to note before visiting: - The restaurant is only open during lunch hours. - Even after entering, the waiting time is ridiculously long. - Be prepared before going. It's a place known for its huge portions. This place is a paradise for big eaters. I arrived at the restaurant around 11 am, but it was already full as it opens at 10:30 am. I had to wait in the neighboring old store (a bento shop) where chairs were set up for waiting. It took a while before I could finally sit in the back tatami area, around 30 minutes after entering. I ordered the famous "Chahan" (fried rice) with ramen. You can choose from soy sauce, miso, or salt flavor for the ramen. I chose miso. And then the long wait began again. The Chahan & ramen arrived 40 minutes later. The kitchen is run by one person, cooking a large amount of rice for the massive Chahan, which limits the batches that can be made. First, I dug into the mountain-sized Chahan. It had a rich flavor with plenty of pork slices. It was so delicious that I couldn't stop eating! Next was the ramen, which was a classic miso ramen with plenty of pork slices. It paired perfectly with the Chahan. It felt like an endless loop of deliciousness. The Chahan seemed never-ending, and even my friend who is a big eater found it challenging. In the end, I had to take the leftovers home. My friend managed to finish everything, showing impressive determination. We were both so full! The taste was great, and being able to eat so much for 1000 yen was a good deal. There were 6 salarymen waiting after us, and they were constantly worried about the time. Unfortunately, they ran out of time and had to leave without finishing their meal. So, be careful of overeating and make sure you have enough time when visiting this place. The title "Be prepared!" sums it up.

I was invited by my subordinate and lined up from the early morning, haha. I parked my car in the designated parking lot and arrived at the store 15 minutes before opening. There weren't many people in line at first, but 5 minutes before opening, a crowd started to gather! I didn't know we had to take a number ticket! I got a number in the 10s, of course, and ordered fried rice! The fried rice finally arrived in front of me 1 hour and 50 minutes after lining up, haha. First, the fried rice was served. Will I be able to finish it all? It's a huge portion! I started eating right away (in an Amuro-style Gundam voice) → I'm sorry, I can't finish it, haha. The fried rice was delicious! I couldn't stop eating. In the middle, the soup arrived! (Miso ramen, or rather, chashu noodle) For ramen, the noodles are key! I paused the fried rice and attacked the ramen. The noodles were cooked just right! There were plenty of chashu slices too! But remember, this is just the soup! I managed to finish it after a lot of effort! When I told my subordinate that I finished it, the owner also looked happy and shook the pot! And when the water container was running low, the staff quickly refilled it, which was impressive! (Even for the water pitcher at a distant table) They pay attention to details! Shaking the pot! Thank you for the meal! I went overboard! I won't be able to eat dinner tonight!
