I came to "Yonekaze" on the 1st floor of Wada Building in Nishi 1-cho, Minami 3-jo. It's a pre-drinking gathering before a drinking party, and it's been about 20 years since I last visited. It felt nostalgic. Let's see, here we go. I arrived around 5 pm and it was crowded, mainly with young customers enjoying sake and abura soba. What should I eat? Since there are 4 of us sharing, we ordered the Abura Soba (large size) for 900 yen. The server mentioned that the soy sauce and miso flavors are no longer available, bringing back memories of 20 years ago. It's a pre-drinking gathering, so cheers! When the noodles arrived, the large size had 1.5 times the amount of noodles, so it was reasonably voluminous. The toppings included thinly sliced roasted pork, menma, quail egg, and seaweed. The noodles were already mixed with the sauce, giving off an old-school abura soba vibe. The light oil and smooth soy sauce-based sauce was nostalgic and delicious. It's a great abura soba that goes well with sake. You can also enjoy changing the flavor with chili oil and vinegar. Another person joined us midway, so we cheered again. It was a fun pre-drinking gathering. Whether you have just the abura soba or pair it with alcohol, it's all good. The menu is diverse and caters to a wide range of customers. Let's come back for another pre-drinking gathering. Thank you for the meal!

Oil soba for ¥850, tacos with ground meat and vegetables for ¥650. It's not bad for a total of ¥1,500. The noodles are thin and curly, and the tacos are a nice surprise. It's decently tasty. It could be a great place to come for drinks and have tacos or fried chicken as snacks.

The stability of the taste was great! They also accept cashless payment! Everything was high in hospitality and very good. The abura soba was delicious as always, with the perfect firmness of the noodles. Adding plenty of vinegar and chili oil, and washing it down with beer made it perfect!

I usually find beer too bitter to drink much, but I was able to enjoy draft beer to some extent♡ It had less bitterness, creamy foam, and various flavors depending on the type, making it delicious. The interior of the shop was also elaborate, and I was able to enjoy the atmosphere while spending time there. The oil soba and fish and chips were a perfect match with the beer and had just the right taste. Enjoying beer in this atmosphere was the best.

It's been a while since I visited Beitei, known as the originator of abura soba. It was very reliable, with no greasiness, light and refreshing. I paired it with beer and just kept drinking. It's a bit lonely without the quail egg, but maybe that's how it's always been? It was easy to eat quickly and the combination with beer was excellent.

My friend recommended this restaurant, so we went there together for lunch. We were supposed to meet in front of the restaurant at 11:30, but I arrived early and went inside first. I had to wait for my friend for several minutes, there was no water available, and it wasn't self-service. Even when my friend arrived, they didn't bring water until I asked for it. Finally, I was able to drink some water. We ordered through a QR code and I got the oil noodles with an egg. I mixed it well and took a bite. The noodles were quite chewy and a bit salty. I added vinegar to reduce the saltiness a bit, and when I added the egg, it became even less salty. It was decent and I could eat it normally.

I had my first experience of "Abura Soba" at "Komefutei" based on a recommendation from a friend who said, "You must try it when you come to Sapporo." I had never tried Abura Soba before, as I usually prefer ramen, tsukemen, udon, or pasta when it comes to noodles. I had the impression that Abura Soba would be greasy, heavy, and make me feel bloated, so I had always avoided it. When I visited "Komefutei," I was surprised by the American-style interior and the wide variety of drinks available. They had so many types of beer, including craft beers from overseas. I ordered jerk chicken and nachos as snacks while enjoying my drink. Finally, I ordered the Abura Soba. It looked just like I had imagined, and I mixed in vinegar and chili oil to taste. It was surprisingly light and delicious, with tender chashu, chopped green onions, menma, and white sesame seeds complementing each other perfectly. I regret not trying Abura Soba sooner, as it was so delicious that I may become addicted to it.

During my trip to Sapporo, I tried oil ramen for the first time! I was hesitant at first because of the name "oil ramen" made me think it would be greasy, but it was actually refreshing and very delicious. I think I could eat it every day. The lunch beer was also good at 250 yen. Adding vinegar at the end gives it a different flavor.

5/2023 ★Black Sesame Spicy Oil Soba 900 yen + White Wine (Set Price) 300 yen for drinking and eating (*´ω`)o∪ Established in 1986, this beer hall in Toyomizu Susukino is a pioneer in Sapporo oil soba! Open from 11 am with limited dishes but it's okay to drink during lunchtime. On weekends, the place is almost always full and lively, but luckily there was a counter seat available. You can order from your smartphone or use the menu, although the prices may vary slightly. Since I have work tomorrow, I decided to have a light dinner and drink here. I ordered the famous oil soba, choosing the "Black Sesame Spicy" for 900 yen and adding 300 yen for a drink set with white wine. The wine was crisp and cold, served generously. The oil soba arrived promptly, with a beautiful presentation of black sesame and chili threads. The noodles were chewy and addictive, I couldn't stop eating them. The sauce was well-coated and spicy, perfect for drinking. The chili oil added an extra kick of spiciness. There were two quail eggs, with one being a delightful surprise at the end. The toppings were minimal, with no vegetables or chashu, making it a guilt-free meal with a satisfying portion. No cover charge all day, and the prices for drinks and food are very reasonable. Next time, I'll come here mainly for drinking. Thank you for the delicious meal! (^ω^)

This is a shop located between Tanukikoji and Susukino in Sapporo. It is an oil soba shop, but it seems more like a bar. Orders are placed through a smartphone. The oil soba is delicious, but I wish it had a bit more volume. It is a rare oil soba shop in Sapporo, so it is convenient. However, it feels more like a bar than an oil soba shop, so it might be more like drinking at a bar and having oil soba as a snack when you get a little hungry.

The oil soba with a set drink was interesting! This is because the drink menu included alcoholic beverages such as beer and wine. I will also include information about the menu, payment methods, exterior, interior, etc. for reference. I enjoyed delicious oil soba. Thank you for the meal! (*´ー｀*)

This shop is located in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. I visited after a long time. I used to eat here often. I used to visit for 2nd and 3rd rounds. In my memory, this is the origin of Abura Soba. Although it's Abura Soba, it's not so oily! It's easy to eat and goes down smoothly! It's perfect for finishing with ramen. The prices are reasonable, so I thought it was a good shop.

The oil soba is delicious, but the attitude of the staff was somewhat bad. Even when called, they didn't respond or confirm, which I haven't seen in a while. The taste is delicious, so if you want to casually eat oil soba in Susukino, definitely give it a try! They also serve alcohol!!

I took the subway from Shin-Sapporo and returned from Esukon Field. I wandered around a bit around Shin-Sapporo, but couldn't find any interesting shops, so I returned. Since my accommodation was north of Moikandori Street, I got off at the subway bus center and walked back to the hotel. Even though I had some sushi and hot dogs, I still felt a bit hungry, so I decided to visit Yafutei after a long time. It's a beer bar known for its oil noodles. It was Friday night, but I could easily find a seat at the counter. I started with a Classic beer and Tsumire Motsu (tripe meatball) as a side dish. The tripe meatball was light and refreshing. I quickly finished it and ordered a Kirin Birdland beer with a sausage platter. I felt like I had eaten too much already, so I decided to stop with the appetizers. I enjoyed the three different sausages with the beer. For the finish, I had the oil noodles. It was a popular dish with many customers ordering it. The noodles were mixed with sliced pork, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and quail eggs. I mixed it well and savored the dish. The soup was not present, but the thick sauce coated the noodles nicely. The noodles were slightly firm, which made them a bit chewy, but overall it was good. I enjoyed my beer, snacks, and noodles before leaving the restaurant. It's a one-stop shop where you can have everything in one place.

On Saturday in Sapporo, all the ramen shops had long lines... but I called ahead to this place and they said they had seats available! Since it was still early, we were able to get in. They had a great selection of craft beers, so we started with a toast! We also ordered nachos and fried potatoes as appetizers. And for the main dish, each of us had a bowl of oil ramen! The combination of nachos and craft beer was amazing! And the oil ramen was consistently delicious. I like to add plenty of vinegar to mine! I was tempted to get the large size because I was so hungry, but I'm glad I held back. Even the regular size had plenty of noodles.

Yesterday's finale! The interior of the restaurant is like a bar, so you can also drink alcohol. I had a beer and a highball, and my friend and I had the oil noodles as the finishing dish! It's simple but incredibly delicious. You can also get a large portion. It might be best to try over 30 different kinds of beer and finish with the oil noodles! Thank you for the meal!

I finally got to visit a shop that I had bookmarked for a while! I went to the shop on the first floor, but I found out that there is also a ramen shop on the 10th floor. The lunch menu only offers ramen and gyoza, along with plenty of beer! It's highly recommended for those who want to drink beer during the day! I think it's rare to find a shop with such a wide variety of beers. It feels like you can try beers from all over the world. I really wanted to have a beer with my lunch, but I tend to get tipsy quickly, so this time I stuck to just the ramen. The oil ramen I had was topped with thinly sliced chashu, menma, and two quail eggs. The amount of green onions on top was just right for a woman, but might be a bit too little for a man. It was a very easy-to-eat and delicious oil ramen with a classic taste. They also provide vinegar and chili oil, so if you mix it up as you eat, it becomes even more delicious until the last bite. My husband enjoyed his beer and gyoza. With such a wide variety of beers, it seems like a great place to enjoy as a snack. The gyoza was also delicious, with plenty of juicy meat inside! Thank you for the meal!

"I'm heading to the restaurant 'Mai Futei'! It seems like they are still going strong, even though we have a cafe to go to for a closing drink (laughs). They are open from morning until 2 in the morning, so you can use it for lunch, day drinking, or even for a late-night meal! I ordered the 'Abura Soba (¥820)'. They also offer a spicy version with black sesame, but I wanted to try their signature dish. The Abura Soba is ready in about 10 minutes. One thing that stands out is the use of thin noodles, which you don't see in many other places. Along with the noodles, there are various toppings such as sliced chashu, menma, green onions, nori, and two quail eggs! Abura Soba is usually on the richer side, right? However, at Mai Futei, their Abura Soba has a soy sauce-based sauce that is light and not greasy at all, making it deliciously refreshing. It's on the salty side, so you might not even notice if it's too salty, but the fact that it can be eaten without feeling 'too heavy' or 'overwhelming' shows that they have really thought about it! The noodles from Nishiyama Seimen have a nice chewy texture, and they absorb the flavor of the soup well, making it tasty! The chashu has a tender texture and a subtle flavor, but it goes well with the original sauce mentioned earlier, so it all comes together nicely. The use of quail eggs as a topping is interesting too. I usually prefer seasoned eggs in Abura Soba, but the light seasoning of the dish might have been a deliberate choice to avoid the rich yolk interfering with the original flavor. The small and cute quail eggs also add a fun texture to the dish. Since the original toppings may not provide much variety in terms of flavor, the addition of chili oil and vinegar provided at the table allows customers to enjoy different flavors, showing that they are considerate of the customers' experience! While simplicity can sometimes be seen as monotonous, the ability to enjoy different flavors adds a positive aspect to the dining experience. The simple yet refreshing taste that I have never experienced before is truly impressive! The only thing that caught my attention was that the atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit dark, but since it's a bar, it might be intentional. Next time, I'll try the spicy version of the Abura Soba, or just have a beer! Thank you for the meal."

When it comes to finishing a drink in Sapporo, this place is the only choice. When I lived in Sapporo, I used to visit this place almost every week. It's safe to say that I absolutely love this place. I hadn't been able to go for a while, but I finally visited after about 10 years. The oil noodles here are still amazing, and I ordered the extra-large size. Even though there were 5 of us, it wasn't enough, so we ended up ordering another extra-large. The people who came here for the first time were also satisfied, so I'm glad.

Yesterday, I went to Komefutei in Sapporo for a daytime drinking session. Snacks are a must, right? The salted pork was perfect. The crispy coating of the shrimp mayo and the juicy shrimp were also amazing. The jerk chicken was perfect with beer. It was a great time drinking during the day with two other drinking buddies. The tantanmen noodles looked delicious too, but I was too full to try them...

The atmosphere of the shop is nice, but I feel like it is mostly used as a bar at night. I went there for the abura soba, so I felt a bit out of place. They have a wide variety of drinks, especially beer, so it's great for those who love alcohol. The taste of the abura soba was okay. Adding spicy negi topping was the right choice. You can customize it by adding chili oil and vinegar to your liking, which is really nice.
