Hokkaido Governor's Award-winning Takara Ryu original miso ramen topped with a creamy soft-boiled egg. Takara Ryu's miso ramen is something you crave once in a while. It's really delicious! "Kikegawa" in the bustling area of Kushiro City is also good (*´˘`*) However, why are there so many troublesome parents with young children at ramen shops?

"Hokuryu Souhonten" I'm alone in Kushiro, and it has become the closing of my time in Kushiro. Thank you for everything over the years. Although it is not close by, compared to other cities, it is conveniently located and has been a very helpful city for me. My narrow tolerance range led to this result, but before coming, I thought, "I'll keep it under control this time," but when I see ramen... No, when I see ramen, I become like a bloodthirsty vampire. I ate almost all the ramen. I conquered all the stores of Green Noodles from Azuma-ya and then thought about visiting other Green Noodles stores, but it seemed foolish and I stopped. Why do I have to continue such torture-like things? Well, my straightforward way of speaking has led to this result, which is truly a self-inflicted wound and a deep regret. Lastly, I still had Hokuryu left because I had removed chain stores from the total conquest. I don't trust the group that Tori-san is focusing on, Hokuryu. I know their salt ramen is absolutely terrible, so well, it must be miso ramen. I was surprised to find it here. Is the parking lot empty? Is it okay? I wondered, but when I entered, there were two empty seats at the counter. Each seat was too narrow. Don't cram too many people in. There are table seats and a small raised area. There are no women among the customers. A place for middle-aged men... including me? I said "miso" too, but I was curious about the "Kushiro Black" on the partition. It's not because it looks delicious. I haven't imagined it to be delicious at all, so it might take some time. The chef has been diligently chopping green onions since I ordered. There's a TV. We talk quietly because we're two men. It's a good deal for 700 yen. About 7 minutes, maybe... surprisingly fast. I imagined it to look like Toyama Black, but don't call this black. The noodles are completely different from Kushiro noodles, they're Sapporo noodles. The wavy texture is amazing. It's just delicious. The menma is thin. The seasoned flavor is light and normal. The soup, at first, tasted good, but as I ate more, it became Kushiro-like. Completely unsatisfactory. Doesn't assert anything, whether it's flavor or taste. The chashu has marks of being tied at the edges, like a world of SM. It's delicious, but there's no sense of specialness. What's with the green onions? I won't touch strange things. Despite being called Black, soy sauce has no presence at all, and the second piece of chashu is terrible. It's Kushiro, and it's Hokuryu. I couldn't step out of that at all. That was the ramen experience.

I went to Ramen Ho-ryu Sohbo for the first time! Starting with the ramen from Ho-ryu in Kushiro, it's been a while since I visited the second Ho-ryu shop. I wonder what kind of taste it will have. It's the same "Ho-ryu," but I'm quite curious. The shop is located on the first floor of an apartment and the interior is not very spacious. I sit in the middle of the L-shaped counter and look at the menu to decide. I'll have the 946 Black Ramen for 800 yen. It's actually 700 yen thanks to a time service, which is quite nice. The recommended menu for today is the "All Toppings Ramen" for 1,350 yen, but it's on sale for 1,050 yen. That looks good too. The couple next to me both ordered it. Even though it's called Ho-ryu, it's a completely original product. I wait for the order to arrive, and after about 10 minutes, it appears. Oh, it's quite dark. Now, how does it taste? Let's try it. Oh, it's pretty good. It's different from the Ho-ryu taste I know, but it's delicious in its own way. It's a ramen that clearly conveys its umami flavor. It's quite tasty and has a lot of originality. It's surprisingly good, different from what I expected from Ho-ryu in Kushiro. Thank you for the meal.

The soup has a rich umami flavor. The noodles are unique to Boryu, with a medium thickness and a nice chewiness that pairs perfectly with the curry soup. The braised pork is not overly seasoned, allowing the flavor of the ramen to shine through. Overall, I believe the ramen here consistently meets a high standard of quality.

The miso soup made with the award-winning Kura miso from Hokkaido at Horyu is delicious with a great aroma and flavor. The thick slices of chashu are just right in texture, not too soft or too tough, with just the right amount of fat and seasoning to complement the soup. The chashu, which is my favorite, tastes very delicious. The white kikurage mushrooms are large and have a nice crunchy texture. Adding garlic halfway through enhances the flavor, making it even more delicious. Personally, Horyu's miso ramen is so delicious that it becomes addictive. The restaurant also offers a variety of other ramen options, making it a charming place worth visiting again.

Visit date September 18, 2020. For dinner on this day, I visited Ho Ryu Soh with a companion. We arrived around 19:10. There were no customers before or after us. We ordered: - Miso Ramen 950 yen - Homemade Gyoza 400 yen The food was served in about 10 minutes. Miso Ramen: The soup had a delicious sweetness from the miso. It was tasty, but I'm not sure if it had a strong flavor. The noodles were Sapporo-style, cooked firm which I liked. The chashu was lightly seasoned but tender and tasty. I wasn't a fan of the bamboo shoots and wood ear mushrooms, but overall, the ramen was delicious. Homemade Gyoza: These homemade dumplings had a nice touch of chives and tasted better than gyoza from other ramen shops. The service was minimal. There was one man cooking and one woman serving. I must mention that the man cooking had his mask under his chin and took breaks in the dining area after finishing cooking, which was a bit uncomfortable. Also, they were out of rice. My companion said it's understandable, but I personally find it unacceptable. I wish restaurants wouldn't run out of rice, even if they run out of other ingredients. Thank you for the meal.

Kokumiso Ramen for 950 yen. The sweet miso soup is completely to my liking, so I have been coming back quite often. It's a rare find in Kushiro where there are not many delicious miso ramen options. [Soup] The soup has a sweet and rich flavor, but it's not greasy. [Ingredients] Char siu, menma, bean sprouts, onions, what is the white thing in the photo? [Noodles] Thick curly noodles similar to Sapporo style. Served slightly soft, but can be adjusted if you prefer them firmer.

Miso ramen for 750 yen. I am a regular customer here. The taste can vary greatly from day to day, perhaps depending on whether it's the father or son making it that day? The generous amount of toppings (green onions, bamboo shoots, wood ear mushrooms, onions, bean sprouts) provides a satisfying experience. However, the size of the chashu can vary significantly, sometimes appearing noticeably smaller recently. The service from the father and mother has been poor since the days of the Tottori shop, so please forgive them. Only on weekends during the day, a beautiful daughter assists with serving. It would be great if they could improve on the issue of noodles sticking together at the bottom, though it's a recurring problem.笑

It's been a while since I last visited Ho Ryu. I've been eating here since I was a child, so it's a taste of nostalgia for me. Today, I also ordered some gyoza. Although the restaurant was a bit chilly, the ramen really warmed me up. They have a wide variety of menu options here, so I definitely want to come back again.

I searched for a ramen shop on Tabelog and added the regular holiday information since it was closed when I came before. I parked my car in the parking lot in front of the store and entered. But the store was supposed to open at 11:00, and I arrived around 11:15. I found the store through Tabelog and called them. The old man who owned the store said, "I'm just about to open." I waited in the car for 5 minutes. The old man came out with the curtain and said, "That's not the parking lot for the house." It was a bit confusing as there were not clear instructions for the parking lot. I moved my car and finally entered the store. It was quite cold inside. I sat at the counter on the left as soon as I entered and looked at the menu. There were quite a variety of ramen options, but I ordered the "Shoyu Chashu Men" as usual, and even the "Special Chashu Men." Although Hokuryu is known for miso ramen, I ordered the shoyu flavor. After waiting for about 10 minutes, the ramen was served. The chashu looked luxurious as it covered the surface. First, I tried the soup... it was light and simple. The noodles were thin, typical of Kushiro. Personally, they were overcooked and a bit mushy. There were two types of chashu. The pork loin chashu was tender and had a strong flavor, which I liked. The other one was like diced steak, and I didn't enjoy the texture as much. That's on me. If it's Hokuryu, it's usually miso ramen. Next time, I'll try that.

The chashu here is exquisite. The chashu is seasoned similar to braised pork, with a rich flavor and melt-in-your-mouth texture. The miso is delicious, the salt is delicious, and they also have a new 946 Black soy sauce ramen.

There were a few reviews mentioning this, but instead of some parts of the noodles being hard, they were stuck together in several places which was very disappointing. The thick-sliced chashu was very delicious though!

I had miso soup, but it tastes like Houryu! It's a taste that I occasionally crave (^-^) The large serving was a sufficient amount.

I had always been curious about Horyu Sohjo after seeing it on Fit or something. I didn't even know there was a ramen shop here until then. I arrived around 6 pm. There were only two other customers, so it was empty. The rich miso ramen for 950 yen looked delicious! Of course, I ordered that. It seems to be the most popular item. Looking at the menu, there were many options that didn't seem like Horyu-style dishes. As it is called "Sohjo," it seems like they have put a lot of thought into the menu. It arrived in about 8 minutes. The appearance is creamy. Now, I take a sip of the soup. Oh, it's rich! The soup has a smooth and rich flavor. It's not too salty, but it's definitely rich. It's hard to say if it has a strong umami flavor, but it's quite tasty. The noodles were a bit soft. It may be a matter of preference, but I prefer them a bit firmer. The chashu was thick and in a rectangular shape! There was also plenty of bean sprouts. However, for 950 yen, it might be a bit expensive... If I order again next time, I might ask for the soup to be lighter and the noodles to be firmer. I wonder if that's possible? (laughs) Thank you for the meal!

It's Kushiro! It's just past 3 o'clock, shutter time! What should I do?! This is when Kushiro is in trouble! No time to hesitate! Alright, this is the place to go! Yes, here! Among the Howryu in the Kushiro Tokachi area, this might be my favorite!! At least in terms of being able to eat delicious Howryu ramen, I think this is a rare find! So, I decided to try the seafood shrimp miso ramen with butter again, which was just okay last time, after more than half a year! The service is modest and very normal! Now, for the overall review! First, the soup! The miso base is delicious, and there is plenty of shrimp oil floating on top! However, the flavor is not overpowering! So, I stirred it from the bottom and took a sip! The richness comes through, and the shrimp oil adds a nice touch! The soup is already flavorful, so having a rich taste makes this a delicious shrimp miso soup! There are plenty of ingredients, mostly vegetables! The chashu is thick and not too porky, making it delicious! Overall, I think the miso menu here is delicious!

In Kushiro city, there are only a few places where you can eat HouRyu, and among them, this place is probably the most common one. Originally located on Tottori Street, the name of the restaurant has changed but the staff remains the same - the owner, the apprentice, and the lady in the dining hall. In the past, the owner would cook during the day and the apprentice at night, but now they operate throughout the day with the owner cooking during the day and the apprentice cooking later on. This restaurant has a strong uniqueness and offers a wide variety of menu items. When I lived in Kushiro, whenever I wanted to eat HouRyu, I would come here. The miso soup with seafood broth is well-loved in Kushiro, even though it is not a traditional HouRyu category. Initially, there was a slight difference between the taste of the owner's and the apprentice's cooking, but recently this has not been a concern. I often saw the apprentice asking regular customers if the taste was okay, which was a nostalgic sight for me. Today, I had the seafood shrimp miso ramen with butter, the apprentice version. Despite being called seafood, it only contained shrimp (laughs). The chashu was tender and not too fatty, and the vegetables like onions and bean sprouts were included. The soup had shrimp oil floating on top, but the shrimp flavor was not very strong. If you want a more satisfying seafood miso ramen, I recommend trying the miso or white belt miso versions. This time, I was asked about the taste again, and I answered honestly. Oh, the braised pork here is also recommended! It's not listed as a topping, but you can request it. It's limited in quantity, but so far, I have never seen it run out!

I used to frequent Horyu in Tottori and loved it! It was always crowded! I wonder if the son took over after the previous owner. The taste of the soup hasn't changed much, but the way they cook the noodles is disappointing! They are too soft and clumped together at the bottom... Even when I ask for them to be firm, they are still soft! If they make some improvements, I think I would want to go back like I used to during the previous owner's time! There are fewer Horyu-related ramen shops now, so I hope they do their best!
