32nd visit after 2 years, all due to the pandemic. - Some Chinese appetizers. - "Petendak" which is chicken. - Cold crab soba, interesting with a pasta-like twist. - Clear Chinese ramen with plenty of beer and Shaoxing wine.

I was invited to a meal with acquaintances and visited a restaurant where the chef runs the show solo behind the counter. It's a self-service for drinks. The cuisine is a mix of Japanese and Chinese, with a focus on using natural flavors and umami instead of artificial seasonings. They also offer creative dishes like Singapore Bak Kut Teh. The ramen served as the final dish was outstanding. The quality is on par with top-notch establishments, yet the prices are very reasonable. This restaurant truly goes beyond just being cost-effective. It's a wonderful place to dine.

Kudo-san, the founder of a popular ramen shop in Sapporo, runs a Chinese restaurant that I had heard great things about and had been wanting to visit. Thanks to an invitation from friends, I finally had the opportunity to visit this exclusive, reservation-only restaurant in Susukino. Located on the first floor of the Keiwa Building, the restaurant's entrance is discreet and easily missed if you don't know about it. The interior has only counter seats, creating a private and intimate atmosphere. The menu is omakase style, and drinks are self-service with all-you-can-drink options. With only one chef, the self-service style makes sense, allowing guests to enjoy drinks at their own pace. We started with bak kut teh, and from the beginning, Kudo-san's unique style shined through. Dishes like sweet and sour pork, shrimp chili, water spinach, and liver with leeks were all of high quality, paired perfectly with pot-brewed Shaoxing wine. One of the advantages of dining in Sapporo is that you don't have to search for a ramen shop for the perfect ending to your meal. Kudo-san, who founded Yukikaze, offers ramen in miso and soy sauce flavors, providing a satisfying conclusion to the meal. Enjoying delicious appetizers, unlimited drinks, and top-notch ramen, all at a great value, made for a memorable dining experience. I even exchanged LINE contacts with Kudo-san, already planning my next visit to Sapporo. #Susukino #Sapporo #Hokkaido #hidden gem #Hokkaido love #gourmet #EnoLog

Nestled in a corner of a mixed-use building, this bar/snack-style establishment has a unique concept - it is reservation-only and the chef creates delicious dishes using the best ingredients of the day. The dishes are served in small plates, starting with sweet shrimp, squid, and possibly bonito, each seasoned with different flavors that pair well with sake. The selection of sake available in the restaurant is impressive, with unique and rare options. The meal continues with a savory steamed egg custard topped with crab meat, scallops, and clams in a delicious soup. The next dish is a lettuce wrap filled with scallops, squid, and whelk, which is a delightful surprise. The char siu pork is followed by a flavorful water spinach dish, showcasing the chef's skill in preparing vegetables. Despite offering a variety of dishes, the chef humbly claims, "We are a ramen shop," and proceeds to serve an extravagant pasta with prawns, sea urchin, and shrimp, followed by a salt ramen made with rare clams from a nearby town. The meal concludes with shrimp-based soy sauce ramen and rich miso ramen, all expertly prepared and delicious. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and satisfying dining experience, with great food and drinks.

The quality of the dishes was consistently high and wonderful as always. They were very accommodating to our preferences and dislikes, showing great care. We were a group of six, including acquaintances and family, and they made it a private dining experience for us, which we truly appreciated. Our acquaintances' family also enjoyed the meal, making it a great experience overall.

You may already know, but at the shop where Mr. Kudo, who made the delicious Yukikaze ramen in the past, you can eat the most delicious Yukikaze ramen of that time. The current Yukikaze has changed management from Mr. Kudo, and it seems that the taste, contents, and way of making have changed, just the name remains. Compared to the Yukikaze from Mr. Kudo's time, it's a completely different thing. The flow of Yukikaze after the change of management, the shining wind, is also completely different from the Denyang. The ramen is delicious, but my favorite restaurant for Chinese cuisine is still the best! It's not heavy at all, with a gentle seasoning, and you can eat it lightly, the opposite of greasy Chinese food. They make it with your favorite ingredients and cooking methods, so there's nothing more to say. Just ask for what you want to eat and eat until you're full! I didn't eat much on this day, but the Ankake Okoge was delicious ♡ The photo is only a part of the menu because I couldn't take pictures of everything. On this day, I asked for the original Yukikaze miso ramen! I'm a bit full, so I asked for less noodles and a rich flavor. It's delicious as always! This is it! The soup is rich but not salty! It's also fun to talk with Mr. Kudo♪ It's been a while since I couldn't get a reservation, but it was the best!

I visited "Wachuka and Men Tanyo" on this day. The restaurant is located in a corner of Susukino in Sapporo, on the first floor of the Daigokei Building. I made a reservation in advance with a friend who is a regular at the restaurant and we entered at 7:00 pm. The restaurant is run by the owner, Mr. Kudo, who opened this place in 2016. He is the founder of "Menya Yukikaze," which created the legend of Sapporo miso ramen, although the management has changed, the name of the restaurant remains the same. I heard that before running Menya Yukikaze, he worked at a Szechuan restaurant in Tokyo, and he used the skills he cultivated there to start this new restaurant. The Chinese cuisine he offers is a complete omakase course, where you can enjoy a variety of delicious Chinese dishes in small portions while considering the customer's stomach condition. On this day, we had the following dishes: - Chicken wing and daikon soup - Cloud white meat (pork with Szechuan-style spicy sauce) - Scallop and Chinese chive stir-fry - Beef oyster stir-fry - Three kinds of shrimp, squid, and fish roe - Shark fin and crab egg omelet stir-fry - Sea cucumber stir-fry - Jumbo shrimp shumai - Vegetable stir-fried with fermented tofu - Clear soup ramen - Miso ramen Drinks we had: - Daiyame (sweet potato shochu with soda) - Hillsmith/Chardonnay/Australia (paired with scallop and Chinese chive stir-fry) - Shaoxing wine (20 years) (paired with beef oyster stir-fry) The drinks are self-service, and you can choose from a variety of bottles lined up on the counter or in the refrigerator behind the seats. The owner will tally up the total later, depending on the dishes served. As for the taste, the Chinese course started with the soup to open the stomach, followed by a series of small Chinese dishes leading up to the eagerly awaited ramen dishes. The ingredients were luxurious and the dishes were impressive. Before visiting, I couldn't quite imagine what kind of Chinese cuisine a ramen shop owner would serve, but it was the opposite, and it made sense once I learned that a Chinese chef was running a ramen shop. Furthermore, to my surprise, the bill was unbelievably low at 12,000 yen for all the items mentioned above. It was a fun and delicious feast, and I can't believe the value for money. I understand why it's so difficult to get a reservation now. Next time, I would like to try their rice dishes as well. It was a fantastic and delicious feast! Thank you very much! ★★★3.68-5714

Today, I had the pleasure of attending a private party with customers from Fukuoka, and I'm so happy to be back after a long time. We started with a toast with beer and then enjoyed champagne. All drinks are self-service here. Everyone I met today was new, but they were all food professionals, so we had a great time. The scallops, broccoli, and eringi mushrooms were actually from Sarufutsu, but they looked like matsutake mushrooms from Hokkaido. I'm glad they're still available. This time, we tried three types of ramen: clam ramen from Abashiri, salty ramen with thin noodles, and rich miso ramen with curly noodles. The beef bone soup with flat noodles was also delicious. I hope to come back before the end of the year.

New Store Discovery: Exquisite Chinese Cuisine at the Counter Only I had heard rumors about the delicious Chinese cuisine served only at the counter, and I finally had the chance to visit. It was quite difficult to secure a reservation, but I was eager to try it out. The owner, who previously ran a popular ramen shop, has now ventured into Chinese cuisine. It was delightful to be able to try various Chinese dishes in small portions – a treat that many women would appreciate. Every dish was delicious, and the finale of ramen was simply divine in both quantity and taste. It was another fantastic dining experience, and I will definitely be returning. Thank you for the wonderful meal. I will be a repeat customer.

Today, I started with golf in the morning and ended up having a drinking session. Kudo-san's world began with a pre-ordered shark fin dish, which was a large portion for a good price. It was cooked in a soy sauce-based broth and was delicious. Even though I didn't eat much, the shark fin dish and dim sum were filling, but I reset my stomach with a bacteria soup. We also had a couple more dishes, but we ended up drinking two bottles of Shaoxing wine, so I forgot to take photos. Finally, we had a half ramen with a shark fin sauce base. Eating and drinking all this made me very satisfied. Looking forward to the next time!

I attended an offline meeting for the first time in 2 and a half years with a friend. I was surprised that my friend was familiar with Mr. Kudo, and I was even more surprised that Mr. Kudo remembered me. We started with a platter of 3 appetizers, followed by fried blowfish, lots of drinks, soy sauce ramen, asparagus, fried rice, rich miso ramen... all in a private setting. It was a unique experience that can only be enjoyed here. Check out our TikTok for more udon content https://www.tiktok.com/@alwaysudon.

Visited a good boss, good colleague and had a meal together. It's been about 2 years since my last visit. This is my first time posting. Started with a toast of beer, but forgot to take a picture of the firefly squid appetizer and the drool-worthy dish. Changed to sake, my favorite liver and leek dish. Shrimp chili... forgot to take a picture. Fried rice... forgot to take a picture. Cashew nuts and stir-fry... forgot to take a picture. Ate and drank while talking about various things. The Japanese sake recommended by the master was delicious. Ramen for the finale was the best. Finished drinking it all. Drank too much again today. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I'll come back again, master.

I visited the restaurant after 5 months since my takeout at the end of the year. It was my first time having the place all to myself. Despite being run by just one person, the hospitality was truly amazing as always. I ate until I was about to burst. I got so caught up in eating that I almost forgot to take photos. I had gyoza, liver and leek shrimp chili (photo is halfway eaten, sorry), sweet and sour pork, a dish with squid, scallops, and asparagus stir-fry, tempura of pickled shallots, and spicy ramen.

At one time, the legendary ramen shop "Menya Yukikaze" dominated Sapporo. This was the Chinese restaurant owned by Mr. Kudo, the former owner of Yukikaze. The counter at the restaurant is lined with a variety of drinks, and you can drink as much as you like at a very cheap price. Bringing your own drinks is also allowed. For more details, visit the official udon blog: https://alwaysudon.com/tanyo-sapporo/ The appetizers include button shrimp, jellyfish, squid, chili shrimp, char siu pork, and grilled chicken thigh. The stir-fried spinach is also delicious, made with high-quality ingredients. Mr. Kudo once worked at the Szechuan restaurant recommended by his father when he was young. I also occasionally visit Szechuan restaurants and love them. His skills are quite impressive. Finally, he will make ramen for you. You can choose between salt ramen or miso ramen, both of which have a luxurious soup made without regard to cost. This must be why it became so popular, but it can be tiring. When you think of Sapporo, Sapporo ramen comes to mind first, and the image of Chinese cuisine is almost non-existent. Moreover, following the Szechuan restaurant tradition, this restaurant is quite rare. The food is delicious, and you can make requests if you have something specific in mind. The bill comes out to 8,000 yen per person! Are you okay with that?

Before I knew it, it had been a while since my last visit. It was a long-awaited return. The restaurant only has a counter, and the interior has a charming local Chinese feel. As soon as I sat down, various appetizers were brought out. They were all delicious - scallops, jellyfish, shrimp, followed by a dish similar to Bang Bang Chicken. The spring rolls had oysters in them. The king crab fried rice was amazing. The pork belly and cucumber dish was also incredibly tasty. The dumplings, shrimp chili, scallops with asparagus - each dish that came out was packed with flavor. By this point, I was quite full. Then came the finishing touch - ramen. It was like Sapporo-style soy sauce tantanmen. Every dish was delicious from start to finish.

In Sapporo, I always go to the same restaurants at night, so it was nice to try a different one for a change. I had heard about this place before, but it was quite far away. The restaurant was small, with a divider set up in the middle to create two separate areas. Since it was my first time there, I decided to leave it up to the chef to choose the dishes for me. The appetizers were similar to bamboo chicken, and the sauce was delicious. Stir-fried water spinach was simple but good. I also had dumplings, shrimp chili, crab fried rice, eggplant dishes, and liver with garlic chives. The dishes were filling, and we even got some white rice. My friend and I have different appetites, so we ordered different amounts of food. There were many types of ramen to choose from, and I tried the basic ones - salt, soy sauce, and miso. I didn't enjoy the thick and intense miso flavor, but the salt ramen was good. You can help yourself to drinks from the fridge or cooler at the back. I recommend using this place as a second stop for trying a variety of dishes at a reasonable price.

Welcome.---------- May 2020 ----------Completely reservation-based, with a course where portions are small and the menu is not available. First, starting with a bottle of white wine called "Bouyeron" (= ´∀´)ﾉ凵゛. To begin, we had some crunchy jellyfish, soft and slightly spicy with a mellow acidity. Next, a thick and impressive asparagus, with a chewy texture. The chicken steamed with green onion salt sauce was hot and delicious, with a lingering shrimp flavor. The shrimp spring rolls were a must-order, with a style of wrapping and grilling the dough and filling after ordering. The juicy 18:00, 5 seats full.

I visited this place for the first time on a regular night, fulfilling my long-awaited wish! The owner is running the place alone behind the counter. Today, I will leave it up to the chef's choice. They serve various dishes in small plates, which is perfect for someone like me who wants to try a little bit of everything. The dishes I had were: - Jellyfish appetizer: Thick and crunchy! - Drooling chicken: Juicy chicken with a perfect spicy sauce. - Shumai: Bursting with pork flavor. - Stir-fried scallops: Lightly seasoned scallops are sweet and delicious. - Large shrimp in chili sauce: Rich chili sauce with plump shrimp, of course, delicious. - Tamagoyaki: Drizzled with a rich sauce from the shrimp chili, so good! - Fried casaba: The soft and mild flavor of casaba is irresistible. - Stir-fried asparagus: Delicious and crunchy thick asparagus, so sweet. - Mapo tofu: The perfect balance of numbing and spicy flavors! - Salt ramen: The delicious soup that warms your body is excellent for drinking. The portion is small, but the variety is plenty. Every dish was satisfying in taste. A revisit is a must. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to visit this restaurant based on various information and finally went there for the first time. I had already mentioned my preferences. Is this the appetizer? Yamakurage, sweet shrimp marinated in Shaoxing wine, jellyfish, steamed chicken? This is the first time I've had Yamakurage with this seasoning, and it's delicious. The sweet shrimp marinated in Shaoxing wine was fresh with long whiskers, showing that the owner selects good ingredients. Naturally, it was delicious. I want to eat the miso part on top of the vinegar rice. I've never had jellyfish cut like this before, and of course, it was delicious. The tenderness of the steamed chicken and the spicy seasoning were also good. The minced meat stir-fry with dried shrimp and spicy flavor was exquisite. I want to eat it with rice. The stir-fried yellow chives and spear squid had tender squid and were delicious. I love the shrimp chili. What's with the size? And served with steamed rice at the perfect timing. Steamed rice cooked in a clay pot with shrimp chili. The best combination. I was surprised by the size of the shrimp on the shumai. The smoked herring had the best texture and flavor I've ever had. It's like the taste of home. It makes me want to try the smoked herring hut seasoning. Is the konasu served here for palate cleansing? It's also delicious. There were two types of ramen for the finale. I mentioned my preferences and had a wonderful meal. I had the clam salt flavor first, then the rich miso ramen, and both were amazing. Not only the food but also the conversation made the meal satisfying. It's the first time I've seen Chinese dishes served in small dishes like this. The owner's dedication to ingredients and seasoning is definitely worth a revisit.

In the midst of the year-end party season. I decided to skip the group activities for the first round and went solo. I entered the restaurant easily, thanks to good timing on the phone. I mentioned that I just wanted to have a light meal and a drink, and ordered beer with mapo tofu and stir-fry. I had a nice chat with the owner and the person at the next table. It was surprisingly fun (laughs). For the finale, I chose a rich miso soup. It's the type of miso soup that makes you thirsty, but I couldn't resist the urge to eat it (laughs).

In early May 2019, it can be a bit daunting to try Chinese cuisine with a small group. Many Chinese restaurants serve dishes with large portions, making it difficult to order when there are only a few people (laughs). So, I always wished for a restaurant where you could enjoy a variety of dishes in small portions, regardless of the number of people dining. When I mentioned this to my senior colleague, they revealed that they also wanted to visit such a restaurant. They recommended a small, counter-only restaurant that offers a Nouvelle Chinoise-style cuisine, introduced by the owner of their favorite sushi restaurant. Despite my low expectations due to the small size and single chef handling everything, the experience turned out to be fantastic. As expected, the quality of the dishes in a restaurant recommended by a top chef in Sapporo exceeded my expectations. The char siu was exquisite, the stir-fried sea cucumber was incredibly delicious, and the Sichuan-style mapo tofu had a strong and satisfying numbing spiciness that I love. I couldn't help but envy Sapporo for having such amazing dining options, and I wish there were similar restaurants in Akita.
