Visited for the first time in November 2022, the 32nd stop in Sapporo City, where a "flower water" event was being held at a shrine. While receiving a "Goshuin" stamp, I enjoyed the event. The first shrine I visited was the Yahiko Shrine in Sapporo Nakajima Park. Established in 1912 by settlers from Echigo, with Yahiko Shrine in Echigo as its main shrine. In 1970, they received a spirit from Sugawara no Michizane, the "god of learning," from Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, and became known as the "Tenjin-sama of Sapporo," widely loved by the people. It was a drizzly and chilly day, and the popular Muranaka-style ramen shop I originally planned to visit had a long line, so I decided to visit this place instead. It turns out the owner used to work at the popular Asahikawa ramen shop "Tenkin" and has now opened his own shop in Sapporo. During my business trip to Asahikawa, I used to enjoy eating Asahikawa ramen, so it has been a while since I last had it. "Shoyu Ramen" 750 yen Nowadays, it's rare to see the term "shoyu" used like this. In Hokkaido, this type of ramen with "shoyu" is relatively common. The soup is a tonkotsu clear broth from Asahikawa. It lacks seafood flavor and has a slight animal smell. The soup is not very rich and lacks impact. The chashu is made from pork leg meat, and the menma is salted, with only green onions and simple toppings. The noodles are not from the Kato family, but from the other major player in Asahikawa, "Fujiwara Seimen," with low water content. Overall, it's a mild version of Asahikawa ramen. "Miso Ramen" 750 yen This was my companion's choice. This one also lacks richness, so it seems that Asahikawa ramen is best enjoyed with "shoyu." The Murayama shop was a place I had been curious about for a while, but unfortunately, the bowl didn't leave a lasting impression.
