"Yuuji, the fourth generation noodle shop, has been my recent little obsession - tsukemen (^ω^) I've been here many times, but this is my first time ordering tsukemen. Looking at the ticket machine, I was also interested in the limited 'tsukemen with beef belly in light soup,' but I decided to go with the popular regular menu item, 'Chicken white broth rich seafood tsukemen'! 'Chicken white broth rich seafood tsukemen (1.5 servings) @ 1,080 yen' Since I was quite hungry, I ordered 1.5 servings. The normal serving is 200g, so with 1.5 servings, it's 300g (@_@)!! When it was ready, it looked quite substantial! The dipping sauce is a rich seafood-based chicken white broth. It goes really well with the firm, medium-thin noodles and tastes amazingly good! The toppings include chashu, menma, nori, and more. The chashu was tender, and the menma was top-notch! The dipping sauce was piping hot, so it stayed hot until the end, which was great ( ^ω^) I finished the 1.5 servings in no time and ended with a dashi soup in a thermos for a Japanese-style soup! I enjoyed changing the flavor with curry powder along the way and finished the meal deliciously! This was my first time ordering tsukemen myself, and it exceeded my expectations in terms of deliciousness! Everything here is just so tasty (^ω^) Once again, thank you for the delicious meal!!"

On August 30, 2023 (Wednesday), for lunch, I'm thinking of having a light soy sauce ramen. I can't decide between shirayu (white broth) or seiryu (clear broth) this time. The restaurant is located in Sapporo, Hokkaido, at Shin-Kotoni 8-8-1. They have parking available. The store is closed on Tuesdays. The operating hours are Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday from 11:00 to 15:00, and Saturday, Sunday, and holidays from 10:00 to 15:00. It seems like a pretty good place around Nishi 20-chome in Sapporo. I love hot springs, ramen, and soba. Check out the Instagram and blog for more details.

I ordered tsukemen! The spicy one! Well, it was just your typical delicious tsukemen! I thought it would be more white and have a distinct chicken broth flavor, but it was different than I expected. If you order regular chicken broth ramen, is that the kind of soup it is?

Wandering new curry mania/fresh ramen mania, a solo middle-aged man. This is a memo-like review from the middle-aged man. If you are looking for concise information about the restaurant and dishes, please move on to other reviews around here. I tried the "Chicken White Broth" (soy sauce) at another restaurant and thought, "Oh, it has a smooth and gentle taste, delicious!" "Hmm, the lemon flavor adds an interesting twist!" However, I felt that the portion was a bit small and therefore thought, "It might be a bit pricey." They recommended the set with rice and two pieces of fried chicken. I wanted to see how it compares to other restaurants with the same type of chicken white broth, so I visited another place. The location is in Kita-ku, Shin-Kotoni Hachijo 8-chome. Although I live in a similar area, "Shin-Kotoni" is unfamiliar and not well-known to me. It's quite far away, not a distance where you can walk back and forth or just go shopping. So, I have no knowledge of the area. A while ago, I overheard a conversation between colleagues who had lived in Shin-Kotoni, and they were excitedly discussing, "Oh, that place! It's on ● Street, right?" "Do you know ■■?" "Yes, I know, it's on ▲ Street, right?" It seemed like a quiz on how accurately they could guess the street names rather than confirming the location of the restaurant. It was a humorous conversation that could easily lead to misunderstandings that people from that area or who have lived there have such a trait (laughs). With that introduction, I cannot guide you to the ◆ Street (laughs). Officially, the restaurant faces West 5-chome, Tarukawa Street. It is located 150 meters from the intersection with Shin-Kotoni Street. It was in the block next to the pachinko parlor. I entered the restaurant around 12:45 (Saturday). Inside, there was a ticket machine and kitchen in front of the entrance. There were counter seats in front of the kitchen. Behind the counter seats, there were two table seats. Outside the entrance, there were railings for lining up and inside, there were waiting seats. It seems to be a popular restaurant. The previous customers were two families (middle-aged) and two solo customers (men), one young and one middle-aged. The later customers were one solo customer (senior man) and one young couple. A variety of customers. I looked at the ticket machine. Oh, they offer both "salt" and "soy sauce" for the "Chicken White Broth." Somehow, this seems more natural (obvious) to me. I would prefer "salt," but I decided to go with "soy sauce" to match the previous restaurant. I ordered the Chicken White Broth (soy sauce) for 980 yen including tax. Hmm, it seems that ramen these days costs around 1,000 yen. I tasted the Chicken White Broth (soy sauce) soup. Oh, the color of this one is relatively dark (soy sauce). It's rich and smooth, with a punch of saltiness! The saltiness is just right and delicious. Oh, it's chicken white broth, right? So it's only chicken, right? There's a slight hint of a gamey smell... Am I being too picky? The noodles were medium-thin, slightly wavy, almost straight. They have a bit of a firm bite compared to the "short noodles" that have become more common in recent years. Still, the overall amount of noodles is not large (in my personal opinion). If you think you won't be full, you can add a large serving for an additional 100 yen. The texture was slightly firm. When I ate it, I noticed a slight ammonia-like smell when slurping. It's not throughout the noodles, but here and there.

I have a hangover today after drinking a lot. I woke up feeling dizzy with a pounding headache, so I decided to have a light soup for my first meal. I originally planned to have chicken shio broth, but because of the heat, I opted for a cold dish instead. I chose the cold bukkake noodles, not expecting much, but it turned out to be unexpectedly delicious. The harmony of the cold noodles, sauce, and warm egg was amazing. I slurped up the noodles while savoring the deliciousness, and before I knew it, I had finished it all. I regret not savoring it a bit more. This restaurant never disappoints with its flavors and is highly recommended.

Chicken broth salt ramen + seasoned egg I was planning to go to a nearby restaurant, but it turned out that two places were closed, so I ended up coming here. It was still 11:45 am, but the place was already full, with 4 people waiting as well. It took about 15 minutes to be seated, but they collect the food tickets while you wait, so the food was served about 5 minutes after being seated. When I scooped up the soup with the spoon, it was very clear. I thought it might be thin, but it actually had a rich and deep flavor with a strong seafood broth aroma, which was incredibly delicious. The straight noodles clung well to the soup due to the surface tension. The char siu was in the rare category, with two large pieces. There was also long bamboo shoots, thin green onions, and seaweed. I accidentally ordered a seasoned egg without realizing that it already came with one, but it was just average. There were quite a few spices on the table, so I tried adding curry powder to change the flavor. The strong-flavored soup with curry powder. I bet this would taste amazing if you mixed it with rice. Noodles: Kanajin

I've been thinking about this for a while, but having toppings on the noodles isn't really necessary. The soup is incredibly delicious, with onions in it making each bite unique. I knew I couldn't eat a lot, so I chose the 1.5 serving size, and it was the right decision. It's sad to live in a world without seasoned eggs, but I'm managing to get by.

New Kotoji area in Kita-ku. A very popular shop in Kita-ku. Visited for lunch and had to wait alone. Last time, I had the Chicken White Soy Sauce Ramen, and the Menma was so delicious that I had to order an extra serving halfway through. It was served on a separate plate, and I was surprised by the amount, but the taste of the Menma, especially the Menma tips, is top-notch in my opinion, even though I have eaten a ton of ramen. This time, I thought about getting the tsukemen, but to convey the greatness of the Menma, I ordered the Large Chicken White Salt Ramen (1080 yen) for its easy-to-convey taste. [Soup] The Chicken White Soup has a very carefully extracted chicken flavor. The saltiness is well-balanced, very mild, and just the right richness. Maybe because I ordered a large serving, the amount of soup was small. This is just my opinion, but outstandingly rated Chicken White Ramen shops are usually more rich, have a stronger saltiness with impact, or contain fish powder. There are salt and garlic powder on the table, so I added a small amount, and it was very delicious. Since curry powder also goes well with it, I tried just a bite. Of course, it was delicious. When ordering, I recommend salt over soy sauce for this shop, so the adjustments around here might be helpful. [Noodles] Medium-thick straight noodles with a low water content. The noodles are quite strong compared to the soup, maybe because there was less soup or I ordered a large serving. The firmness of the noodles with a strong wheat flavor and a good chewing texture. The rich wheat flavor and aroma are directly transmitted. I added a small amount of salt to the noodles and it was exquisite. Be careful as the coarse salt gives a crunchy taste (laughs). [Chashu] Thinly sliced large rare chashu. A splendid size. Well-seasoned and very delicious. [Flavored Egg] Lightly seasoned, half-cooked and creamy, delicious! It's lightly seasoned, but there is no smell of the egg white, and the richness of the yolk comes through. A shop with great taste! [Menma] The ultimate Menma with Menma tips. The length and shape are beautiful and splendid. The taste is good, "very soft, but you can also enjoy the texture." It achieves both the contradictory softness and texture, reaching a level of excitement. It has a gentle flavor with a hint of saltiness and is delicious. No fibers, perfect! I was confused by all the contradictions. [Overall] The ramen created by the genius shop owner in Kita-ku includes not only Chicken White Soup but also tsukemen, limited edition noodles, making it an exciting shop to visit next time. Also, I prefer bowls that are easy to drink the soup rather than visually appealing bowls. Thank you for the meal♪♪

I have a few go-to places for curing a hangover, and one of them is this restaurant. They have the convenience of using the parking lot of the pachinko parlor behind the shop. When I have a hangover, I always go for the chicken shio ramen. I purchase a ticket from the machine and sit at the counter. The ramen is ready in just a few minutes. The soup seemed a bit less than usual... a little disappointing. Maybe it's because of the rising cost of ingredients? Let's just say that's the reason. I love curly noodles, and they go perfectly with the soup here. The chicken broth that hits your nose is irresistible. Despite the disappointing soup quantity, the ramen was satisfying.

I visited around 11:15 on a regular day and there was no line, so I was seated right away! By the time I left (close to 12), there seemed to be a wait. I usually order ramen, but today I came for tsukemen. However, I couldn't resist ordering ramen as well, so I ended up getting both (^◇^;) As always, it was delicious.

Visited the restaurant around 11 am on a holiday and it was already full. Bought a food ticket and sat quietly on a chair next to the ticket machine to wait. I ordered the Chicken White Broth Salt Ramen, while my companion ordered the Chicken White Broth Soy Sauce Ramen. We were seated at a table around 11:20 am. After a few minutes of waiting, our noodles arrived. They looked delicious with their golden-colored soup. The soup looked rich and flavorful. The ramen was topped with a half-cooked egg, seaweed, bamboo shoots, green onions, and pork & chicken chashu. The noodles were medium-thin and straight, and they were nicely coated in the thick soup. The chicken flavor in the soup was amazing, and the balance of saltiness was just right. It was seriously delicious, probably the best chicken white broth ramen I've had recently. I think I could have handled a large portion too without getting tired of it. On the table, there were black & white pepper, typical red pepper flakes, as well as garlic powder and curry powder. I couldn't resist trying something new, so I sprinkled curry powder on a spoonful of soup and tried it. It was incredibly delicious and matched perfectly. I wanted to order rice to soak up the soup, but I resisted the temptation. I usually don't finish my soup, but this time I did it without even noticing. The popularity of this place is well-deserved because of the deliciousness of their ramen. The curry powder seemed to go better with the salt ramen than with the soy sauce ramen, in my personal opinion. Overall, it was a delightful meal. Thank you for the delicious food. *At the time of my visit, the ramen was priced at 900 yen, but it seems to be 980 yen now.

The noodles were tight and had a good chewiness, so even 1.5 servings seemed enough. I ended up dipping the last bits in the soup and enjoyed it with the dipping sauce. It was just the right amount. This tsukemen was of high quality and delicious! I also wish there was something unique that can only be experienced here.

Whenever I go, there is always a line, so I had given up, but by chance there was no queue, so I took the opportunity to go in! I was torn between salt and soy sauce for the chicken broth, but ended up choosing the safe option of soy sauce. The thick soup had a rich flavor of chicken, and it didn't need anything added, but there was garlic powder available, so I added a little, and surprisingly, it matched well! However, it seems there was some salt in the powder, so it ended up a bit salty unexpectedly... I was happy to see two slices of low-temperature cooked pork shoulder. The light soy sauce that my family ordered was really light and refreshing, but still had a good umami flavor. It seems that black pepper goes better with this one than garlic. The noodles in both dishes had a yellowish hue and were close to straight noodles. I understand why there is always a line. The restaurant was full after we entered, and more customers came in afterwards, but the staff's guidance was accurate and polite, which I appreciated. I have decided to come back again, but it's tough to wait in line during the cold season... Thank you for the meal.

The other day I had some delicious tsukemen at Shin, so today I decided to try it again at Yujisan, the fourth generation noodle shop. I arrived 5 minutes before opening, but there were already a few people waiting in line outside. I couldn't get in on the first round, so I had to wait inside the restaurant. It's really popular... I wish I had come a little earlier. I bought my meal ticket from the machine and waited. Today, I ordered the Chicken White Broth Rich Seafood Tsukemen (1.5 servings, hot) with extra green onions. Since there wasn't much smell of broth inside the restaurant, I couldn't imagine how rich it would be. After about a 10-minute wait, I was seated. Soon, the tsukemen I was looking for arrived. The noodles were a bit thin and looked smooth. I tried the noodles on their own, and they were plain. However, the dipping sauce was indeed very rich in seafood flavor, as the name suggests, and the hot sauce coated the noodles perfectly, making it very tasty. Although it was labeled as chicken white broth, the rich seafood flavor completely overshadowed it, so it was barely noticeable. I was unsure if I could finish the 1.5 servings, but before I knew it, I had devoured it all. The soup refills at the end were also delicious, and it was a satisfying lunch experience.

I ordered the popular Chicken White Broth Thick Fish Stock Tsukemen (900 yen) at this restaurant, and it was indeed delicious. It had a strong and satisfying flavor that made me feel like I had truly eaten tsukemen, and the noodles were chewy. The dipping soup for the tsukemen came in a thermos, but the soup was so rich that I couldn't finish it all. I'm sorry about that. The Negi Menma Pork Rice (400 yen) had a generous amount of toppings on top, and the flavors were intense, making it a bit challenging to balance with the rice. However, if you like menma and green onions, I highly recommend ordering it. The variety of condiments on the table is also a nice touch! If I had to be picky, having yuzu kosho would have been amazing. Thank you for the meal.

Visited around 2:00 PM on a Saturday in November 2022 for lunch. Location & Parking: Located along Tsubokawa Street in Nishi 5-chome, about a 15-minute walk northwest from JR Shinkotoni Station. There is a spacious parking lot shared with Japan Yuu Pachikan behind the store, so parking was easy. Upon entering, there was a ticket machine for ordering at the front, with a pre-payment system. There are 4 counter seats, 1 table for 2, and 2 tables for 4 in the back. I chose a table seat that was available. Despite it being around 2:00 PM, the restaurant was about 70% full, indicating its popularity. Menu: They offer various ramen options such as Chicken White Broth Shoyu or Shio Ramen, Light Shoyu or Shio Ramen, Miso Ramen, Spicy Miso Ramen, as well as Tsukemen options like Chicken White Broth Rich Seafood Tsukemen and Spicy Tsukemen. They also have rice dishes like Chicken Rice, Pork Mayo Rice, and Negi Menma Rice. I ordered the Chicken White Broth Shoyu Ramen and Pork Rice, while my companion ordered the Spicy Miso Ramen. The Chicken White Broth Shoyu Ramen arrived first, followed by the Pork Rice. The ramen had a rich broth with medium-thin noodles, bamboo shoots, 2 slices of chashu, a flavorful orange seasoned soft-boiled egg, seaweed, and green onions. The broth had a good chicken flavor but was slightly salty. The bamboo shoots had a nice crunch, and the two types of chashu, one pork and one chicken, provided a variety of flavors. The Pork Rice was thinly sliced chashu marinated in soy sauce on top of rice, garnished with seaweed, green onions, and white sesame seeds. The sauce was a bit too strong, with a clash between sweetness and saltiness. It might have been better if it was a bit lighter. The Spicy Miso Ramen arrived a bit later, with a red spicy soup, a large slice of chashu, half an egg, onions, and green onions. The soup had a good level of spiciness that was addictive. The bamboo shoots were crunchy, and the chashu was tender and flavorful. It was a deliciously addictive spicy flavor. I would like to try their Tsukemen next time.

This time, I had chicken paitan ramen after a long time. I actually love it as much as tonkotsu ramen. I ordered the chicken paitan shio ramen with ajitama (flavored egg). The ramen that was brought to me had two types of chashu (roast pork), nori (seaweed), menma (bamboo shoots), and green onions neatly arranged. Personally, I prefer this kind of compact presentation over a lot of toppings, as it allows me to enjoy the ramen and soup more. The ajitama topping was served on a separate plate, which was a nice touch. The soup looked thick and creamy, but it was actually light and slightly refreshing when I tasted it. Chicken paitan ramen is often known for its thick and rich broth, but this lighter version was quite enjoyable. The noodles were thin straight noodles, which paired perfectly with the chicken paitan broth. The overall portion size was just right. I might have considered ordering a rice dish as well. Among the toppings, the chashu was outstanding. Both types of chashu were incredibly tender and flavorful. I feel like every ramen shop that specializes in chicken paitan ramen serves amazing chashu. (Based on our research) Overall, I was satisfied with the chicken paitan ramen after a long time. I am now torn between getting extra chashu next time or trying a rice dish.

Visited on September 4th, 2022. A well-known ramen shop in Shinkotoni, I have been here countless times. Today, I ordered the Chicken Shio Ramen. The rich soup and noodles blend together perfectly, creating a taste that never gets old no matter how many bites you take. It seems like the chashu has been cooked at a low temperature recently - the soft meat with a hint of pink was delicious. The long and slender menma was also good. I will definitely be back. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I had some errands to run in Tobetsu-cho in the morning, and on the way back, I decided to have lunch at a few places I had in mind. Unfortunately, the first two places were either closed or not open yet, so I decided to take a chance and try my luck at another place. I arrived at the restaurant around 11:20 am, and there were plenty of parking spaces available since it was a weekday. I bought a ticket for the "Chicken Shoyu Ramen, Large" which cost exactly ¥1000 including tax. The ramen was served within 5-6 minutes of ordering. Despite ordering a large portion, the bowl size did not seem to increase much, and it appeared that only the amount of noodles had been increased. The soup was rich and had a nice balance of flavors without being too salty. The thin noodles were well-coated in the creamy soup, creating a delicious texture. The pork slices were thin but had a good flavor, although a bit more thickness would have been appreciated. As I continued to eat, the soup quickly disappeared, and I found myself finishing the meal with just the noodles. Overall, the ramen was tasty and satisfying, although I felt that the portion size could have been more generous. I left the restaurant feeling content, reassuring myself that the mild flavor was probably better for my health.

Ordered 1.5 servings of tsukemen, spicy. The bonito flavor was subtle. The balance between chicken broth and bonito was good. The noodles seemed to be medium thickness. They were easy to eat, so even with 1.5 servings, I finished quickly. Compared to other tsukemen restaurants, it might be a bit lacking.
