Visited a cold noodle restaurant for the first time after noticing a sign. They mainly do mobile orders, but since I don't have LINE, I placed my order verbally. There was only one customer ahead of me today, and I was told they were short-staffed. The signature dish is the "Mount Fuji" topped with imitation crab meat. The dish looked cool with ice on top, and the sauce was a light vinegar soy sauce blend. The noodles were curly and firm. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

Spicy Miso Hormone Ramen (930 yen) - When it arrives, the aroma of hormone, garlic, and miso tickles your nose in that order! It smells so good♪ The hormone is like seasoned yakiniku-style hormone, with a sweet and well-seasoned taste that will make you addicted to its chewy texture! Delicious!ฅ^>ω<^ฅ The soup is a rich miso with floating back fat. The spiciness is not too strong at first, but gradually creates a nice tingly sensation in the back of your throat. Even just the rich miso soup is delicious, but thanks to the spiciness and sweet seasoning of the hormone, I enjoyed every last bite with a fresh feeling! The noodles are thin curly noodles with a good chewy texture, a protein-rich noodle. It goes well with the soup and the yakiniku flavor of the hormone, and personally, I really like these noodles! The crispy bean sprouts and cabbage go well with the soup and noodles! The combination of ramen and hormone is great, giving you a feeling of eating ramen while picking at yakiniku, making it a very satisfying bowl! (*ฅ´ω`ฅ*) - Below, an old note probably about miso ramen with a stable, rich back fat soup. There are reliable options like thick straight noodles, abura soba, tsukemen, etc., with opportunities for redemption depending on your preference.

◯ General Introduction Located at the intersection of Midori Street and Shikarikoen in Obihiro City, the restaurant has seen several changes in ownership over the years. Currently, it is occupied by "Nishoku." ◯ Exterior and Parking The restaurant is marked by a large sign, and there are a few parking spaces in front and to the side of the building. Parking diagonally may be a bit challenging for larger vehicles. ◯ Interior and Seating The restaurant offers counter seats, raised tatami seating, and table seating, making it suitable for families. ◯ Ordering Customers purchase food tickets from the ticket machine and hand them to the staff. ◯ Dish Review I tried the Miso Ramen for 500 yen (weekday lunch special). It is a standard ramen made with chicken and pork bone broth, combined with white miso for a well-balanced flavor. The addition of kaiware radish was a nice touch. The use of Nishiyama Seimen noodles is evident, and the yellow medium-thick curly noodles were delicious. I finished it in no time. ◯ Drinks Self-service water is available, and alcoholic beverages may also be served. ◯ Service and Discounts Beware of the "Nishoku Day"! Rumor has it that on the 24th of every month, ramen is priced at 300 yen. It's likely true, but it's uncertain if it's offered every month. They also have an official Line account for special offers. ◯ Payment Methods Cash only at the ticket machine. ◯ Customer Service There were two staff members on duty during weekdays. The kitchen is slightly visible from the counter, and the staff's service is excellent. ◯ Price Range and Value The prices are reasonable, and special promotions like "Nishoku Day" and official Line offers make it even more appealing. ◯ Cleanliness The restaurant is clean, and they have solid COVID-19 prevention measures in place. ◯ Notes Located at an intersection, it may be difficult to enter from the opposite lane. Watch out for diagonal parking and be mindful of not hitting other vehicles. ◯ Overall Evaluation Overall, it's a very average ramen shop. I wonder if there are still ramen shops like Maruyu with floating chili oil from the era of Otofuke and Mufuji? I'll definitely visit again.

First visit. Initially, I was planning to eat the oil soba, but when I saw the button for tsukemen on the food ticket machine, my finger just went there haha. I ordered the spicy miso tsukemen for 850 yen including tax. When I sat at the counter, I noticed that each seat had tissues, condiments, and toothpicks neatly arranged, which was nice. The bowl arrived shortly and I was surprised to see that the dipping soup was already served, allowing for adjusting the soup's richness. No need to call the staff after finishing the noodles. It's rare to see this kind of thoughtfulness in Tokachi, so I was impressed. The noodles were thick and chewy, just the way I like it. The soup had a nice level of spiciness, and the green onions added a good accent. The noodle portion was just right for me, but it might feel a bit small for big eaters. They offer options for extra and super-sized portions, so take advantage of that. The customer next to me happened to be eating the oil soba, which also looked delicious, so I've decided to come back for sure. If I were to make suggestions for Nishikiya to become a thriving restaurant, it would be to have a clear and large menu display at the entrance for customers to consider before lining up at the food ticket machine, especially for families who would want to see the menu together. Also, relocating the TV inside the store to be above the food ticket machine could improve satisfaction as it would be in the view of all counter customers. Lastly, addressing the unevenness in the parking lot. It's narrow, and while diagonal parking is inevitable, the step makes it difficult to fit the car snugly without pressing the accelerator firmly when backing in, and there are no parking blocks, which might deter female drivers. Apologies for being presumptuous. Anyway, thank you for the meal. I'll be back.

In the past, there used to be a restaurant called "Yamabiko Udon" at this location. It has changed several times since then. The parking lot always seems to be crowded before entering. Maybe it's because of the busy street and the shape of the parking lot? I parked in the crowded lot and entered the store. There is a food ticket machine. Since about five people were behind me, I didn't hesitate too much and just bought the spicy miso ticket at the top. I am indecisive, so I think it would be better to order at the table after looking at the menu... Water is self-service and you can drink from the water server. The ramen arrived shortly after ordering. It was too spicy for me, who is weak to spiciness. The noodles were like this. The taste was as expected. I would like to end by saying that the spicy miso was nothing special, just an average rating.

The restaurant "Nofuke" has changed to "Nishoku" and opened!! I used to find it difficult to enter Nofuke because of the narrow parking lot and difficult access from the national highway. So when I saw an advertisement that they moved to Obihiro, I thought, "Let's go and check it out." The original location in Nofuke has seen many different shops come and go, so I think there are just some places that don't work out. I'm glad they moved. Now, you buy your ticket from the machine, and it's packed. Since there were no seats at the counter, I sat there. I ordered the soy sauce ramen with chicken broth. I usually prefer miso, but I felt like soy sauce this time. My husband ordered salt ramen. We waited for a bit, but the ramen came quite quickly. It was delicious. It's pretty standard, I guess? I think being standard is the best, but maybe it lacks a bit of punch? However, since it's convenient, I think I'll come back again.

Today, I visited a newly opened ramen shop for the first time. The place is called Menya Nishiki, located along Nishi 16 Street, across from Lawson Obihiro Nishi 17 South 3-chome store. The exterior has been renovated with a lot of wood paneling. The interior is spacious and clean, with a couple of counter seats and several individual table seats. It was around 11:35 am, with a few customers already inside. You order from a ticket machine, which can be confusing for some customers. I personally don't like having to use a ticket machine as I prefer to ask the staff for recommendations. I ordered the Tonkotsu Shiro (white pork bone) Miso ramen for 820 yen, with an additional topping of chashu for 260 yen. The ramen came in about 12 minutes, with toppings including chashu pork, menma, wood ear mushrooms, sliced green onions, seaweed, ground sesame seeds, and chili oil. The noodles were medium-thick and curly, while the soup was not too strong in pork bone flavor, with the fish and vegetable flavors being a bit weak in my opinion. I would have preferred a bit more richness in the soup. The chashu pork had a good texture and was flavorful. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and look forward to trying their chicken bone broth next time.

I went to Menya Nishiki! It was my first visit to this new store. I didn't have any information about the new store, but it was already open when I passed by. There was a new signboard. It used to be a ramen shop, and now it's still a ramen shop. I went in and bought a ticket from the machine. There are two types of soup: tonkotsu shirodare and chicken garasupu. I chose tonkotsu shirodare with shoyu. The staff guided me to a seat in front of the kitchen counter. The restaurant is spacious with many large box seats. The previous restaurant was Yamaneko Udon. There were a male owner and a female staff member. Everyone seemed quiet but greeted me properly. The ramen was ready in about 10 minutes. It was quite rich and a bit salty. You could taste the shirodare and later a sweetness came through. It had back oil and ma oil, and you could clearly taste the garlic. The soup wasn't piping hot. It was a rich ramen. I would like to visit again to try the chicken garasupu. Thank you, Menya Nishiki, for the meal.

This is a ramen shop that opened on December 15th. They have a ticket machine and use Nishiyama noodles with a soup base of pork bone and chicken broth. The black ramen is pork bone and the white ramen is chicken broth. They are currently offering a special 500 yen ramen for their opening. It's a bit salty, but let's see how it goes and maybe come back to try again.

Daily 550 yen ramen. Today's flavor is chicken broth miso ramen. Simple ingredients, simple ramen, and a safe taste. It feels almost too cheap to pay only 550 yen for it. The staff is also cheerful and great.

There were no customers in the store and it was easy to enter with the ticket system. The taste of the ramen was average. I went in wanting to eat tsukemen, but ended up changing my mind to tonkotsu. The rice was delicious.

If you move from Oto to here, please let me know if default comes with sesame oil.

It was delicious. I will come again.
