I visited a popular ramen shop that serves delicious dried fish ramen in November 2022. The shop has a parking lot for two cars next to the building. If you use the paid parking lot next to the building, you will receive a 100 yen parking discount voucher. When I visited in the early afternoon, the shop was busy with customers coming in one after another. As I entered the shop, I could smell the good aroma of clam broth, setting the mood for dried fish ramen. Without hesitation, I ordered the rich dried fish ramen with a topping of dried seaweed. It took less than 10 minutes for the order to be served. I immediately tried the soup, which had a rich umami flavor that didn't seem to contain any artificial seasonings. The soup was salty, which I liked! The rich dried fish flavor was present in the light and smooth soup, with a very good aftertaste and no bitterness. The thin and chewy noodles paired perfectly with the soup. The tender roasted pork and seasoned bamboo shoots were delicious, and the dried seaweed topping was excellent. I was very satisfied after enjoying a delicious dried fish ramen after a long time.

Chuka soba (soy sauce) 900 yen Simple but delicious with a deep flavor. I'm not a big fan of chuka soba in general, but this one was tasty. Sapporo miso ramen 950 yen A classic miso ramen that is simply delicious. It has a generous amount of bean sprouts, which I appreciate. Spicy mentaiko mayo rice bowl 250 yen The amount of mentaiko mayo was good, but there was a bit less rice than expected. Some parts of the rice were a little dry, which was disappointing. On the table, there are water, black pepper, coarse ground pepper, shichimi (Japanese seven spice), disposable chopsticks, soup spoon, tissues, toothpicks, and a fan. The service was good.

I had the Rich Soy Sauce Ramen for 1,100 yen. I visited around noon and only had to wait for about 5 minutes before being seated. The ramen was served quickly and I felt like the turnover was fast. The clam broth soup, straight noodles, and excellent toppings all matched perfectly and were very delicious.

Each ingredient was carefully prepared and the ramen was very delicious. The service was smooth and efficient. I had the spicy miso ramen and the meat miso rice bowl. The ramen had a refreshing flavor thanks to the ginger, and it was tasty. The meat miso rice bowl was spicy with a unique star anise-like aroma that complemented the miso ramen well. Both dishes were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived around 1:00 PM and there were 3 people waiting ahead of me, but the turnover was quite fast and I was seated in less than 5 minutes. There is a waiting area inside, so even in summer or winter, you can wait comfortably with a few people. I chose the simple soy sauce ramen. It was a light and refreshing soup that was delicious.

I have visited this place many times, and even though it is a popular restaurant that receives high ratings, it always seems to have a good flow for me. This time, I tried the seaweed topping. When you order it as a topping, they will serve it on a separate plate for you to share. It's a must-have item. It adds depth to the light flavor. The owner of my favorite ramen shop, Kito, also frequents this place. I imagine he learns a lot from Artisan. Thank you for always serving delicious and beautiful bowls.

Sapporo miso ramen is delicious. The more you drink the hot soup, the better it tastes. The chewy medium-thick curly noodles, crunchy bean sprouts and ground meat, tender chashu, thin sliced bamboo shoots, lightly seasoned egg, everything is delicious. The ginger and fragrant sesame, as well as the green onions, all go well with the soup. It has a nostalgic miso ramen flavor but they did a great job. The shoyu and salt broth are also delicious. I hope they bring back the shrimp miso ramen that was a limited edition for their 7th anniversary last year. That was also really good. The owner and staff are friendly and polite, it's a well-deserved popular restaurant.

The Sapporo miso ramen for 950 yen was exactly what I was looking for - a familiar and comforting taste. The slightly thick soup coated the noodles well, and the flavor was rich. I wish there was even more ginger added for a greater range of flavors. The two slices of pork chashu, full of umami, melted in my mouth. Next time, I'll try the light and refreshing shio ramen!

Chuka soba with soy sauce for 900 yen. Shrimp wonton for 250 yen. Char siu for 250 yen. Green onion rice for 250 yen. Total 1,650 yen. It was delicious. I think there was chicken and dried bonito in the soup. I also felt the presence of bonito. The soup is advertised as being free of chemical seasonings, but it has a strong broth and is slightly rich. It's flavorful and tasty. The noodles are thin and they go well with the soup. They are a bit on the chewy side, not slippery, but it's good. The char siu is lean pork loin, I think... It's refreshing and goes well with the soup. It's not my favorite, so you don't need to add toppings. The flavored egg is really delicious. It's rich and slightly sweet. The texture is just right. You might want to add this as a topping. The wonton is not amazing, but it's decently tasty and goes well with the ramen. I forgot to mention the green onion rice. It has a nice aroma of green onion oil, but it's slightly salty. I won't be coming back, but I would like to try the salt and miso ramen next time because it was delicious.

My daughter wanted to eat ramen, so we decided to go to this place that seemed quite casual. We arrived around 1 pm and had to wait for about 5 minutes as there was one group ahead of us. I ordered the basic soy sauce ramen, while my daughter chose the dried fish soy sauce ramen. I mistakenly added an extra egg because it already came with half an egg. I also added the usual chashu topping. I'm not sure if it was an additional option or included in the original, but the chashu consisted of two types of pork loin and shoulder. The taste was really delicious. The noodles and the soy sauce flavor reminded me of the delicious ramen at Nagisa in Yonabaru. I have tried several good ramen places in Sapporo that are similar (Chinese-style ramen), but this might be my favorite. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I was in a good place due to some errands and felt like having miso ramen, which is rare for me. The restaurant I visited is known for its light and savory ramen, and it has received the Bib Gourmand award in the 2017 Hokkaido Michelin Guide. Their "Fragrant Soy Sauce Ramen" is a triple soup made with chicken, dried sardines, and clams, which has captivated many fans with its rich flavors. The restaurant utilizes its experience in Japanese cuisine to highlight the deliciousness of their "Japanese-style broth." Although it may seem like they specialize in light broths, their Sapporo-style ramen is also incredibly delicious. They prepare a pork bone soup specifically for miso ramen, and their proud Japanese-style broth is combined using the Sapporo method to create a unique and delicious bowl of ramen. The hot and flavorful soup pairs perfectly with the chewy Sapporo noodles, which are specially made by Morizumi Seimen for this dish. The usual menu includes noodles from Sagamiya Seimen, and the abundance of bean sprouts and minced meat is a nice touch. The addition of ginger and garlic provides extra flavor to this tasty bowl. Even though I usually don't use condiments in my ramen, this bowl pairs perfectly with shichimi spice, which I added towards the end. I enjoyed chasing after the minced meat until I finished every last bit of the ramen and soup. Whenever I crave miso ramen, I know exactly where to go, and this bowl is always on my list. If you've tried their light ramen before, I highly recommend giving their miso ramen a try. It's a must-eat for miso ramen lovers! In the near future, I believe miso ramen will become very popular, and this bowl will surely be a big hit. #Menya169 #SapporoMisoRamen #MisoRamen #Ramen #Sapporo #PopularRestaurant

I went to 169 Ramen for the first time in a while. What draws me to this place is not only the delicious food, but also the fact that despite being a very popular restaurant, there is always plenty of parking available (they even have a partnership with a nearby parking lot), and you can easily get a seat right away. On this day, I parked my car and waited a bit inside the restaurant, but I was quickly able to sit at the counter. We ordered the Tonkotsu ramen and the Shoyu ramen, both of which were incredibly delicious as I had experienced on previous visits. The Tonkotsu ramen was especially amazing. I tried a bit of my friend's broth, and the refined yet bold depth of flavor that fills your mouth is truly unique. This time, I also ordered the Negi Meshi, which I had been curious about for a while, and it was served with a delicious broth-like sauce on top of the rice, finished with sesame oil. It was incredibly tasty. I imagine the other rice dishes are also delicious. What made me an even bigger fan this day was seeing the head chef smile for the first time. He usually has a serious expression while making ramen and quietly says "thank you" in a low voice, which is cool in its own way, but seeing him smile and feeling that sense of reassurance was something special. This makes me feel even more comfortable visiting this place again.

Chuka soba (soy sauce), 850 yen. Topping of shrimp-filled wonton, 200 yen. The slightly rare char siu is delicious. The broth has a subtle seafood flavor from the dried bonito. Last order at 14:30. Parking space for 2 cars. It seems that in Sapporo, it's already standard for individuals at restaurants to not wear masks.

Today, I visited Ramenya 169 based on a recommendation from a friend. When I arrived at the restaurant, it was about 20 minutes after opening and the place was full with a wait of 3 people. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I was seated. I ordered the Shoyu ramen with shrimp wonton and green onions as toppings. The dish arrived in about 5 minutes, looking vibrant and appetizing. The green onions were shining. The soup was light and had a mild soy sauce flavor. The noodles were thin, which I like, and they paired well with the soup. The shrimp wonton didn't have a strong shrimp taste, but it went well with the soy sauce ramen. I noticed they also have a delicious-looking soup made with dried fish, so I'll try that next time.

I had some errands to run near Seishu Gakuen, so I decided to have lunch at 169, which I hadn't been to in a while. I ordered the Chinese noodles, and the balance between the toppings, noodles, and soup was perfect. I was also happy to see that it came with a seasoned boiled egg. Thank you for the delicious meal!

The strong desire to go there made me read a lot of reviews, and there seemed to be some old information as well... There were different types of noodles mentioned, but currently the menu is simple. I had the rich soy sauce ramen that I had decided on (bottom left), while my family, on their first visit, went for the simple soy sauce ramen (top middle), and I also tried the shrimp wonton topping that I wanted to taste (top right). I am not good with strong flavors like only dried bonito or chicken and dried bonito double soup, so the rich soy sauce with 'chicken, dried bonito, and shellfish' was a fantastic hit. Additionally, the change in aroma when the garlic and black truffle paste on top of the duck roast melted was amazing! The scent that came out of my nose after finishing the meal was a happy one. (I won't touch on the shrimp wonton, so please understand.) The longboard decoration and the subtly incorporated Hawaiian design in the interior made me think that the owner must love Hawaii, and his kind personality was reflected in his calm and dandy smile. The family also decided on an immediate repeat visit. Thank you for the delicious meal!

Intense craving for niboshi ramen... Intense niboshi craving is here... The chosen restaurant is here: - Intense Niboshi Ramen ¥900 - Nori Seaweed ¥100 It's a simple niboshi ramen, with the bitterness thoroughly removed to create a smooth richness. The soft, thin straight noodles pair well with it. The ham-like but flavorful chashu and perfectly cooked egg add to the refined taste of this niboshi ramen. It's elegant and satisfying. The nori seaweed completes the ramen experience, but personally, if it's labeled as "intense," I would have liked it to be more bold. Nonetheless, the high level of cooking skill and satisfaction from this ramen were impressive. I'm curious about the aromatic soy sauce ramen as well.

Today, I had work in the Yamabana area of Sapporo. After a long time, I visited "Menya 169," which was selected for the "Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017 Bib Gourmand" for lunch. Bib Gourmand is a rating similar to Michelin stars, given to restaurants that provide high-quality meals made with care at affordable prices (below 3,500 yen). "Menya 169" opened in 2015 and was selected as one of the nine Bib Gourmand ramen restaurants in Sapporo in just two years. Impressive. The restaurant is located at Minami 16-jo Nishi 9-chome, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. The name "169" comes from this address. Easy to find, right? I arrived at the restaurant at exactly 2:00 pm. It had been four years since my last visit. I sat at the counter and looked at the menu. They offer Chinese soba (chicken + double soup of boiled sardines), aromatic soy sauce soba (triple soup of chicken, boiled sardines, and clams), boiled sardine soba (100% boiled sardines), and the basic four types of Sapporo miso ramen. Although originally a light taste shop, the miso ramen is an irregular choice. Today, I ordered the classic "Chinese soba (soy sauce)" for 850 yen. Watching the cooking style of Chef Ito, who comes from a Japanese cuisine background, I waited for about 5 minutes before my bowl arrived. The amber-colored soy sauce soup with chashu, nori, green onions, seasoned egg, and bamboo shoots. The bowl is white with a red cloud dragon pattern, making the dish stand out. Let's dig in! First, the soup. Oh, it's delicious! The soup is delicious. The double soup of chicken and boiled sardines is light and delicate, without any artificial seasonings. It has a well-balanced flavor of chicken and boiled sardines, which is soothing to the stomach. The noodles are thin and firm, with a good bounce, perfect for the clear soup. The noodles are made by Sachi-chan's Sagamiya noodles. The chashu is cooked at a low temperature, tender and flavorful. The bamboo shoots are crunchy and tasty. The seasoned egg is perfectly done, with a hint of yuzu fragrance. I slurped up the noodles and soup in no time. Once again, I finished every last drop of soup. What a high-quality ramen that shines with the skills of Japanese cuisine. The location of the restaurant used to be where the popular "Fukurai-ken" was located. "Fukurai-ken" was known for its rich and garlicky "The Sapporo Ramen," while "Menya 169" offers a completely different light and delicate style. It's interesting to see the wide variety of ramen available. Next time, I want to try the Sapporo miso ramen inspired by Sapporo ramen. A delicious and light ramen with a taste of Japanese craftsmanship. It was a great meal. Thank you!

I always end up ordering soy sauce and shrimp wonton tsure with salted cod roe and wasabi rice, even though I know it's not good for me, and I find myself almost finishing the soup. Today, despite waiting for a long time to be seated, an older man who arrived a little earlier and was waiting behind us was seated at the counter before us to place his order. Hmm, isn't that against the rules? I can't help but notice the little things. But, as expected of the chef, he made our bowls first (*^^)v The farewell at the end was a bit cold, but he did show consideration in the right places. This atmosphere is nice~ It was delicious again today. I'll come back.

I had a free daifuku and now I'm heading to this place for lunch. There are 2 parking spots next to the store, and a coin parking lot nearby. They offer a service if you bring a parking certificate. As soon as you open the door, you can smell the aroma of dried fish. You can tell it's going to be good. I ordered the rich soy sauce ramen for 900 yen from the menu on the wall. It's just past 11, but the place is almost full. It's popular here. After a short wait, the food arrives. The clams in the soup are a bit bothersome with their shells after eating. There's no plate to put them on. The warm boiled egg is a nice touch. The noodles are thin but have a good texture. I was expecting a stronger dried fish flavor, but it's more on the mild side. It might get a bit boring towards the end. The limited opening hours make it challenging, but I managed to clear it. Thank you for the meal. The owner is quiet, and the staff's service is likable.

Free streetcar on weekends... Enjoyable stroll along the streetcar line, the third stop was at "Menya 169" I didn't know about this place, but it seems to be listed in the Michelin Bib Gourmand. It was just before 12 o'clock, with 2 groups of customers ahead of us. We sat at the counter. The lady in the kitchen seemed to be the owner. We ordered the "Shoyu Ramen @800". It was served in 6 minutes. The toppings included chashu, menma, green onions, nori, and egg. The medium-thin straight noodles were quite good, with a nice firm texture. They paired well with the light soup, which seemed to have a weak umami flavor, with a slight bitterness. Overall, the harmony between the soup and noodles was good, and I couldn't stop eating. It seems like the direction the chef is heading in is promising, especially for a potential "shoyu ramen" or "miso ramen". I'm curious to see how they combine miso with this broth. I may have to revisit this place in the future. Thank you for the meal.
