▼Location▼ Located on the left side, 200m from the intersection of Hongo-dori and the water source street, heading towards National Route 12. ▼About the Shop▼ This popular ramen shop, Maruishi, which was once located in Kuwanon, has now closed. However, this shop, opened on December 1, 2011 along the water source street, is a branch of Maruishi. They serve various types of ramen such as tantanmen and shio ramen. The shop used to be a cafe, so it still retains that atmosphere. ▼Menu▼ They offer shio, shoyu, and miso ramen, as well as nostalgic ramen, tantanmen, and spicy miso ramen. ▼What I Ate▼ ▽Miso Chashu Ramen 1000 yen▽ (April 2022) This visually appealing ramen comes with plenty of chashu and a generous amount of white negi. The rich and robust tonkotsu-based soup is combined with a flavorful miso sauce and a hint of spiciness, creating a delicious blend. The noodles are medium curly noodles from Kobayashi Seimen, cooked al dente and perfectly complement the miso soup. The chashu, with its balanced tenderness and umami, adds to the overall enjoyment of the dish. ▼Impressions▼ (April 2022) The shop owner, who trained at the popular ramen shop Maruishi in Kuwanon, opened this shop as a branch in Shiroishi in December 2011. In addition to the shio, shoyu, and miso ramen, they offer nostalgic ramen and tantanmen, making it a popular ramen spot. The shop's original cafe-like atmosphere remains intact. As someone who used to live in Sapporo, this shop was a favorite of mine. It had been a while since my last visit, and I was looking forward to returning. This time, I tried the Miso Chashu Ramen mentioned above, and the reliable taste of miso did not disappoint. The unique flavor was still as delicious as ever. It was a pleasant visit, especially since it was during a quieter time, allowing me to have a leisurely chat with the owner. I look forward to trying the tantanmen or shio ramen next time.

I had miso ramen. The hot soup had a faint aroma of red miso, with a delicious taste of vegetables and richness. It's rare for a red miso-based ramen to not be too salty. The medium-thick curly noodles were firm, and there were plenty of vegetables like bean sprouts, onions, wood ear mushrooms, carrots, and green onions which was nice. The chashu was a bit thin but overall not bad atmosphere.

I visited for lunch on a regular day and was able to park in front of the store, but it was narrow and the atmosphere made it difficult to park... I had the spicy miso tanmen! It was full of vegetables and spicy, not very punchy but it had a taste that was addictive. I almost finished the soup. It was delicious, but it didn't feel particularly special, so I felt satisfied after going once.

Located on the way from Nango 7-chome Station towards Route 12 on Mizuyuji Street. Visited around 6:00 PM and saw a few people here and there. Ordered soy sauce ramen and mini fried rice. The soy sauce ramen had a classic taste, simply delicious. The fried rice was also tasty, like your typical ramen shop fried rice (despite being labeled as mini, it's actually a decent portion). The prices are reasonable and you'll leave feeling satisfied.

I had a vegetable-packed ramen! The vegetables are seasoned just right and delicious! It's probably a soy sauce-based salt flavor, with a hint of soy sauce. (Maybe because of the vegetable seasoning?) I think women would enjoy this ramen! There's no meat, so you can add some if you want, haha.

At Sapporo Dome, Consadole Sapporo couldn't hold onto their 2-goal lead against Avispa Fukuoka and ended up with a draw, leading to continuous booing due to questionable referee decisions. On the way home, the intended restaurant was closed, so the family ended up visiting a place they had bookmarked. They ordered Tanmen, Miso Ramen, and Mini Chahan. The Tanmen had a salty soup but the sautéed vegetables were tasty and enjoyable. The Miso Ramen wasn't to their liking after a taste test. They forgot to take a picture of the Mini Chahan, but it was delicious. Personally, the Tanmen was the top choice, and for those with a big appetite, the Mini Chahan might be a good option too.

I had some business to attend to in Sapporo and on my way back, I felt like having some ramen. I searched on Tabelog to find a good place nearby and this place popped up. I arrived around lunchtime and I was the only customer there. Lately, I've been mostly ordering soy sauce ramen, so without even looking at the menu, I ordered the soy sauce ramen. Since I was alone, the ramen arrived quickly. It looked like a very ordinary soy sauce ramen. Well, let's dig in. Hmm, it tasted just like it looked, neither good nor bad. To be honest, I wondered why this place had such high ratings, but I believe ramen is something that varies greatly depending on personal taste. It just wasn't to my liking. I probably won't be coming back. Thank you for the meal!

This is a place in Shiroishi-ku, located along Mizuyouchi Street in the 7th block north of Hongo Street. For the exact location, as always, please check the map on Tabelog for confirmation. I visited the restaurant to celebrate their 11th anniversary after they moved to Shiroishi. This time, they were offering their Shoyu Ramen and Shio Ramen for just one coin, so I decided to try it out after a year. I parked my car in the front parking lot and entered the restaurant. I sat at an available table for two and ordered the Shoyu Ramen this time, as I had tried the Shio Ramen during their 10th anniversary. The ramen arrived in about 4-5 minutes, and it had a simple appearance. The soup had a light animal-based broth with a hint of vegetable umami, and the Shoyu tare was slightly sweet with a bit too much salt for my taste. The noodles were yellow, medium-thick, curly noodles with a higher water content, which is familiar to Sapporo-style ramen. The toppings included well-prepared chashu, boiled spinach, crunchy menma, and chopped green onions. I've only been coming during their anniversary period to enjoy the one-coin ramen, so I hope to try their regular menu item "Natsukashi Ramen" next time.

I finally went to Ramen Maruishi, which I had been interested in for a long time. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was old-fashioned. The owner, I think, was running the place by himself. I ordered the miso ramen for 800 yen! It came with yellow curly noodles, hot soup, chewy chashu, and soft white leeks. Personally, I thought the hot soup was the best part, but I found the taste a bit lacking. Until the end of the year, it seems that salt and soy sauce ramen are only 500 yen!

Today, I tried a ramen with a high rating on Tabelog (3.61), but it was just okay. It's the last day of my two-day weekend, and I'm feeling great with my paid vacation. I had breakfast at Yoshinoya, while my wife is at work. I spent the morning organizing documents and cleaning the car at home. Around 10 am, I headed out alone to explore a new area in the eastern district. The traffic was a bit heavy, probably due to it being the 30th of the month, a customer appreciation day at Aeon, and the end of the fiscal year. I arrived at a popular restaurant with only two customers inside. I ordered the miso ramen for 800 yen, and noticed that the couple running the place seemed to be a part-time worker and the master. The visual presentation of the ramen included thick slices of pork, stir-fried vegetables (carrots, onions, bean sprouts), chopped wood ear mushrooms, and white scallions. The ramen had a burnt smell when it arrived, which I couldn't quite understand. The noodles were medium-thick and curly, similar to Sapporo ramen, with a chewy texture. The pork was flavorful, and the vegetables were crunchy and tasty. The miso soup had a blend of miso flavors, but the burnt smell was off-putting. Overall, I recommend trying their spicy ramen or old-fashioned ramen instead. That's all for now!

Sapporo City, Higashi Ward, Ramen Maruishi ◆ Order ✔️ Vegetable Ramen (Salt) 850 yen ◆ Impression Lots of vegetables such as bean sprouts, cabbage, carrots, onions, and wood ear mushrooms. The refreshing soup penetrates the body. I like the firm noodles. I was able to have a cost-effective lunch by using a GO Curry Ramen coupon. Thank you for the meal. Thank you very much♪

I stopped by for a slightly late lunch. I chose the spicy miso ramen for 800 yen. The soup was spicier than I expected. The white leeks were a nice touch and balanced the flavor well. The chashu was thick and delicious. Thank you for the meal.

2022♡♡50th cup on 6/29 around 11:30 am Spicy miso ramen and fried rice (￣▽￣) I wanted to go to a restaurant after my night shift, but couldn't find the parking lot even after looking around a bit (lol). Went to a different place and they said they open at 11:30. Finally arrived at Maruishi-san's place (´,,-ㅿ-,,`)ﾌｩ- Finally able to eat ramen! I was so hungry that I also ordered fried rice. It was delicious! I should have ordered the chashu noodles because the chashu was so tasty. I passed by the place a few times and wondered why I didn't go earlier. Anyway, I walked back home reflecting on my choices. I'll definitely go back again. Thank you for the meal! Ψ( 'ч' ☆)

I arrived just after the opening on Sunday at 11 am, being the first customer. It was my second visit in a little over 4 years. The restaurant is a 6-minute walk from Exit 3 of Nango 7-chome Subway Station, on the opposite side. It is run by what seems to be a couple. The background music is from an FM radio. The counter has a seat left empty and is separated by a transparent acrylic board with the menu posted on it. This time, I ordered the "Spicy Miso Tanmen" (900 yen) which was not on the menu last time, along with a "Mini Fried Rice" (350 yen). Soon after, the ramen arrived. The small pieces of tofu caught my eye. The soup was orthodox but rich and flavorful miso with a strong kick of chili pepper, which was delicious! It was quite spicy for someone who prefers medium spice, and I coughed a little. My lips tingled. The noodles were of medium firmness. The chashu was small but quite tasty. There were plenty of vegetables. Three minutes later, the fried rice arrived. Only the mini size is available. It was fluffy with a rich flavor, and it was delicious! The finely chopped carrots added a crunchy texture and a unique touch. Once again, I was satisfied with the delicious taste, even though I only had the miso ramen. I wonder if the richness I felt compared to the regular "miso ramen" was because of the tanmen? The fried rice was exquisite! I would like to try the regular "tanmen" next time. I would give a plus point for the "food taste"!

It's a place in Shiroishi Ward, along Mizuigen Street in the 7th block north of Hongodori Street. As always, please check the exact location on the map on Tabelog. I heard that to commemorate the 10th anniversary of moving to Shiroishi, you can get a bowl of shio ramen or shoyu ramen for just one coin, so I visited the restaurant after a long time. Luckily, there was an empty parking space in front of the store, so I carefully parked my car and entered the store. I sat at the available counter seat, quickly ordered the shio ramen, and waited for it to be served. It arrived in 4-5 minutes, and the ramen had the same feel as before. First, I tasted the soup, which had a main flavor of animal broth with a hint of vegetable umami, but it was quite salty. The noodles were slightly thick, yellow, curly noodles with a high water content, making it easy for Sapporo locals to enjoy. Lastly, the toppings included well-prepared chashu, boiled spinach, crunchy menma, and chopped green onions. The restaurant originally opened in Kuwanomachi in 2000 and relocated to Shiroishi in 2011, so it has been in business for 21 years. I hope they continue to thrive for many more years to come.

Tantanmen: 800 yen Shoyu ramen: 700 yen → 500 yen (until December 26th, 10th anniversary special) The tantanmen had a peppery saltiness and was full of vegetables, while the shoyu ramen had a sweet taste with a traditional gentle flavor. Both had yellow curly noodles. It was my first time visiting, and the food was delicious. If you're looking for a gentle flavor, I recommend trying it again!

November 2021, Salt Ramen for 700 yen at Nango 7-chome. It's been a while since my last visit, 4 years have passed so quickly. The interior of the restaurant hasn't changed much, just more splash prevention sheets. I ordered the Salt Ramen and also wanted some rice, so I shared a mini fried rice. While sipping on the self-service black oolong tea, I waited. The appearance of the ramen was simple, with a small slice of char siu. The spinach was a bit limp...frozen? There was a little bit of bamboo shoots and green onions. The soup was light and lacked flavor, tasting more like something you would find at a ski resort or cafeteria. The fried rice was also mediocre, bland and quite oily. It used to be delicious before, so it's a bit disappointing. Well, thanks for the meal.

On a certain weekday, I visited a ramen shop in Shiraishi-ku where the owner is dedicated to facing ramen head-on. When I arrived, the shop had just opened, so it was nice and clean. I decided to go with the "Natsukashi Ramen (750 yen)" from the menu, as it had been a while since I last visited and my memory was a bit fuzzy. Taking the first bite... The noodles were a medium-thick, wavy yellow color with a crunchy texture. I won't go into too much detail, but it might be worth confirming with the owner about the overall taste and content. The soup looked like it had a soy sauce base, but it was surprisingly easy to drink and quite tasty. Even without any standout features, it was a well-made dish that made me think, "This is delicious!" The toppings included fresh green onions, spinach that didn't cool down the soup, dark-colored menma, naruto, wheat gluten, a half-boiled egg, seaweed clinging to the bowl, and a generous portion of chewy chashu. Overall, I enjoyed a delicious bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal.

[Visit in early June 2021] I visited with my usual dining companion. We decided to try the recommended tantanmen based on the good reviews on Tabelog. We ordered tantanmen and shoyu ramen. [Tantanmen] The tantanmen had a salty and oily broth, but it brought out the umami of the vegetables and was delicious. My dining companion, who tried it, quickly switched with me as the strong salty taste was not to their liking. It may be a bit too salty for those who don't like strong flavors. [Shoyu Ramen] The shoyu ramen had a light soup with no strong impact, but was simply delicious. The noodles were chewy medium-thick curly noodles. Thank you for the meal.

I think they are more on the salty side, so I tried the salt ramen and it was delicious. It was light but with a good saltiness, and the noodles were medium-thick and curly, which I liked. My partner had the miso ramen, which was rich and intense in flavor. The atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit dark and the owner didn't seem very friendly, so if they were more cheerful and welcoming, I might have given them a higher rating.
