I opened the store and immediately entered, but there were many customers waiting, so I used the ticket machine on the left side of the entrance to order a large miso ramen. I had to wait about 15 minutes for my order. Today, the noodles and soup were both piping hot, but I quickly devoured it all. Ah, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I noticed that there was a restaurant called #Junren near my home and decided to visit. Unlike Sumire, it hasn't become a tourist spot and is more popular among locals. However, there was a 4-person wait for a seat. I tried the miso chashu ramen. The rich miso soup was served piping hot with a layer of lard on top. It was a bit heavy but in a good way. There was no garlic on the table, so I asked for some and it really changed the flavor completely. I think I understand now why the Muranaka style is so popular. #MisoRamen #MuranakaStyle #Junren Kitaju 31st Street Branch #MisoChashu #SapporoGourmet

Renowned restaurant Junren. I tried their miso ramen! It was delicious, but it didn't quite hit the spot for me. The soup was a bit too strong for my taste, and when I slurped the noodles, the taste of green onions lingered. I prefer a more tender texture for the chashu, even though the one here was firm. So, I couldn't give it a high score, just an average rating. My taste buds can be frustrating.

I arrived around 3 o'clock and it only took about 30 minutes. I must say, it was the second best Sapporo ramen I've had. It was really delicious. The soup had a rich and deep flavor, and the noodles were also really tasty. The chashu was a bit lacking though. I personally felt like the onions were unnecessary. But overall, the soup and noodles were incredibly delicious and right up my alley. It was really good. I also ordered the spicy miso, but I found the regular miso to be more delicious than the spicy miso.

Junren used to have a shop in Tokyo, Takadanobaba as well♪♪♪ρ( ^ｏ^)b_♪♪♪ It was the origin of miso ramen for me♪♪♪( 〃▽〃)♪♪♪ This time, during my Hokkaido expedition, I visited their Hokkaido Kitajunjo shop♪♪♪｡ﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀ﾟ)ﾟ｡♪♪♪ It was truly "This is Junren!!!"♪♪♪＼(^o^)／♪♪♪ The rich miso flavor, firm curly noodles, and toppings like green onions and chashu were just perfect♪♪♪(´；ω；`)♪♪♪ The Junren-style ramen in Tokyo is delicious too, but having a bowl in its hometown allows you to feel the climate, culture, and history, making it especially exceptional♪♪♪(／▽＼)♪♪♪ It's a must-have bowl when visiting Hokkaido♪♪♪(^q^)♪♪♪ Thank you for the meal♪♪♪m(._.)m♪♪♪

Hokkaido miso ramen's roots can be traced back to a renowned shop. The Hokkaido 31st Street branch, opened in 2013 by the third-generation owner Keinori Yamagishi, is sometimes referred to as "pure sumi series (Murunaka series)" along with the famous "Sumire" shop. Located slightly away from Sapporo Station, the access is not much different from the main branch in Toyohira-ku Sumikawa. If you prioritize taste and don't particularly care about the main branch, this is also a good option. The order is ready in 4 minutes, and the thick lard covers the surface of the soup, not allowing steam to rise. The toppings include seasoned egg, char siu, green onions, bean sprouts, onions, and bamboo shoots. It's a delight to taste this flavor again after a long time. The soup is still hot when sipped, with a rich miso flavor and a strong pork bone taste. It has a spicy kick, and I can also sense a hint of burnt flavor. A subtle ginger aroma lingers afterwards. The curly yellow noodles from Morizumi Seimen are essential for this Hokkaido miso ramen. When you lift the noodles, steam rises up. The noodles are dyed in the color of the rich soup. The spicy flavor lingers in the nose.

Today's lunch was miso ramen at Junren. I noticed that a new shop had opened along the Ishikari Highway. There is a spacious parking lot at the back of the shop, so it is safe to go by car. Even though it was past 1 p.m. on a weekday, I waited for about 15 minutes. There were many tourists in rental cars, but the female staff did a fantastic job of handling customers! And as always, the rich miso ramen was delicious. The flavor of lard and ginger is exquisite, and the soup is delicious. Plus, the firmness of the noodles was perfect. It's no doubt one of the representative Sapporo ramen. #SapporoGourmet #Ramen #Junren #MisoRamen #RichMisoRamen #SapporoRamen

After returning from a public bath in Sapporo, I searched for ramen and found this place. The mini fried rice set for 1430 yen was delicious, especially the yellow curly noodles. For some reason, my sensitive bitterness sensor reacted, but I wonder where that bitterness came from. It must be in the soup... The fried rice was also delicious and had a good balance of flavors. Overall, I was satisfied. Thank you for the meal!

During the Bon holiday weekend, I waited in line for about 30 minutes, but I think the ramen here is worth the wait. Before coming here, I also tried Sumire and Junren Honten, but they were probably too crowded with over an hour wait, so I decided to come here instead. The ramen is traditional Sapporo miso flavor! I highly recommend it, especially for tourists who haven't tried it before. The fried rice is also very delicious, so if possible, I recommend trying it. If you order fried rice for multiple people, they will provide a separate plate and spoons for each person. The female staff who served the dishes were polite and efficient, which made me feel at ease. I will definitely visit again when I come to Sapporo.

No matter what, I love ramen. Personally, I prefer it over Sumire. Lately, I've been into shoyu and chicken broth ramen, but I always come back to this one. I have to be careful not to drink up all the soup, it's dangerous (lol).

Miso ramen is famous at Sumire, but this place seems to be the original. I visit here during my business trips to Hokkaido to enjoy the rich and delicious miso ramen. This is my second visit. The first time, I ordered miso ramen with corn and butter toppings, but I learned that in Sapporo, they don't include butter or corn, so this time I had the regular miso ramen! If you want to eat delicious miso ramen, this is the place to go.

I love the original ramen at this store so much that even the branch store is delicious. The corn topping is also a great choice. I am fascinated by the punch and heat of this soup. Everyone who eats it will think it's right in the middle of miso ramen. It's a taste that conveys the flavor you want to deliver.

I wanted to eat miso ramen, so I went to Junren. It's located along a big street with a parking lot that can fit 26 cars, so I chose this branch instead of the main store. We had to wait in line, but the young and efficient staff made the experience pleasant. The inside of the restaurant was clean and had a nice atmosphere. My partner ordered miso ramen, and I ordered half-size spicy miso ramen. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal. It was a happy time. ✨

This Jyunren is a branch of Sumikawa Honten. Their Sapporo Ramen is miso ramen. While there are other top miso ramen places like Saimi and Sumire, personally I think Jyunren is the best!! The thick and rich miso soup with a spicy kick that you can only taste at Jyunren is truly delicious. Once you try it, you'll be hooked. I ordered the staff meal set for 1,250 yen including tax. Of course, I got the miso ramen!! It was delicious!! There's usually a line, but it's worth it! The staff are friendly and smiley.

The restaurant opened at 11 o'clock and even arriving a little late, there were 8 people waiting in line! The menu had a variety of options, but I went with the classic choice of miso ramen in a large serving. I heard it was a rich miso flavor, so I added butter toppings! I decided to indulge in the meal since I will start my diet tomorrow and not worry about the calories. When the ramen arrived, I took a sip - it was hot! But delicious! There was less minced meat but more chashu! The rich soup was also tasty!

I arrived at 2 o'clock and there were about 10 people waiting. I bought meal tickets for miso ramen and soy sauce ramen. The counter was divided by fixed shields. There was only one table seat. I wanted to eat calmly, but I was seated at the counter (disappointing). After a 25-minute wait, I was seated and the ramen was ready shortly after. It was the classic taste of miso ramen. Around me, I could hear people saying "It's hot, it's hot" as they ate, having underestimated the temperature. As for me, I used to think miso was the best, but maybe my taste has changed over time and age. Honestly, I found the soy sauce ramen more delicious.

I visited "Sapporo Junren Kita 31-jo Branch" on April 7th, which was my 5th visit based on my records. My last visit was on May 7, 2022, for dinner at 6:50 pm with 3 people. The parking space at this branch is quite large, with around 20 or more spots available. Upon entering, I noticed the sign for Morizumi Seimen noodles. There were 2 groups of customers already seated, so it was relatively empty. However, there can be a wait during meal times. I usually visit at off-peak times to avoid waiting, but there was still a bit of a wait. Inside, there is a ticket machine on the left. Due to the impact on egg supply, the menu for soft-boiled eggs was not available, except for the "staff meal bowl set" which uses soft-boiled eggs for some reason. The restaurant mainly has counter seats, but there is one table seat available. This time, we were seated at a table. The counter seats have partitions for COVID-19 measures, which were not there during my last visit. We ordered: Spicy Miso Ramen x2 (1030 yen each), Rice (130 yen), Miso Ramen (900 yen), and Wonton topping (130 yen). The food was served in about 5 minutes. The ramen came with a unique spoon that seemed to have a lot of soup, causing the ingredients to sink. The toppings included diagonally sliced green onions, spicy miso, and shredded red chili peppers. The soup had a moderate level of spiciness. The chashu was sliced instead of the usual block cut, and the menma was submerged in the soup. The bean sprouts were cooked until soft, and there was cabbage as well. The minced meat that used to be included was not very noticeable this time. The noodles were medium-thick and yellow in color. We also ordered extra rice, which was served in a small bowl but was a generous portion. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

After five hours of work, I decided to visit Junren (Kitajuhachi-jo branch) for the first time. I arrived around 12 o'clock, and it was really crowded! It took about 20 minutes to get a seat, and then my order arrived in about 7 minutes! Before being seated, I bought a ticket for miso ramen (regular size) and a mini fried rice from the ticket machine. The taste was quite rich and flavorful, with a strong punch to it. Maybe this is the secret to its popularity? Perhaps people in the northern region prefer strong flavors? It was definitely delicious, but I was expecting a different taste. The mini fried rice also had a rich flavor and was tasty. I quickly left after finishing my meal to make space for the waiting customers. The next day, I logged back in to share my experience. Have a nice day!

- Order: Miso ramen + mini fried rice (1300 yen) - Impression: I had some business in Sapporo and decided to visit this restaurant. There are several famous ramen shops in the area, but I chose Junren. The miso ramen was served piping hot with a rich lard flavor. It had a punchy taste due to the strong miso, and the noodles were firm with a deep egg color. I was very satisfied with this bowl. - Situation: Visited around 1 pm on a Saturday and had to wait for about 45 minutes in a line of about 20 people.

I had lunch in Sapporo! I wanted to try a specific restaurant, but it was closed. So, we decided to go to the famous Junren in Sapporo instead. We arrived around 12 o'clock and the parking lot was quite full. Inside the restaurant, there were a lot of people waiting. The waiting area was full up to the ticket machine. Ramen shops usually have a quick turnover, so we decided to wait. I bought the miso ramen for 900 yen at the ticket machine. After waiting for about 30 minutes, we were seated. It only took about 3 minutes for our ramen to arrive. It's no wonder this place is popular, even on weekdays you have to wait. Since the restaurant only has counter seating, it's understandable. Now, let's dig in. First, the soup. Ah, this is the taste of Sapporo miso ramen. Personally, I think a bit more sweetness would be nice, but that's just my preference. The lard covering the surface is thick, and when you lift the noodles, steam rises. The toppings include chashu, green onions, bean sprouts, and bamboo shoots. The noodles are that yellow, chewy kind. They really soak up the soup and taste delicious. It's been a while since I had ramen, but it's still so good. My companion also seemed satisfied, which was great. Thank you for the meal!
