2022/1/21 First Visit "7th Cup of 2022" Today, I had some business to attend to and arrived in Sapporo. Due to heavy snow until yesterday, the traffic conditions in Sapporo city are bad. Normally, I would go by car, but it seems better to avoid it this time. So, I thought about using the bus. However, there were reports of heavy traffic and delays in Sapporo city, with some buses being cancelled and others arriving several hours late. In that case, the last resort is JR. It should be fine to board from Kitahiroshima. I wait for the train at Kitahiroshima Station. Oh dear, there are delays on JR as well. An announcement was made that it would be faster to take the local train rather than the rapid airport service, so I boarded that. The train was as crowded as a commuter train in downtown Tokyo. In the end, I arrived in Sapporo about an hour later than planned. Fortunately, I made it in time for my appointment. Now that it's lunchtime and I've been traveling by train, let's have lunch while we're at it! I didn't have a plan, but a new restaurant caught my eye, so I decided to go in. It's my first visit to Moryu Ekimae-dori Store. Despite it being lunchtime, it was surprisingly empty, probably due to the influence of COVID-19. I sat at the counter and checked the menu. I decided on the ramen and fried rice set. I requested the miso ramen. And also ordered a beer. The beer came first. I made a toast to myself and waited for the food. Soon, the dishes arrived. Both were in mini sizes, but the fried rice looked especially delicious! Let's start with the ramen. I took a sip of the soup. Yes! It's delicious - a very straightforward Sapporo-style miso ramen. It has a nostalgic taste to it. The noodles are also THE Sapporo noodles - medium-thick curly noodles. They are definitely reliable! The stir-fried vegetables, bamboo shoots, green onions, and chashu, typical Sapporo ramen ingredients, also complement the dish well. It's quite flavorful. Now, let's try the fried rice. Wow!! This is really tasty! It's more on the fluffy side, with just the right seasoning. The sweetness of finely chopped onions and the umami of chashu create a very deep flavor. I've been eating fried rice at ramen shops a lot lately, but this one seems to be among the top. While enjoying my beer, I planned to eat slowly, but it was so delicious that I finished it in no time. If it was just the ramen, I would rate it 3.5, but if it was just the fried rice, I would give it a 4.5! Oh, this is why I can't stop eating out. It's so fun when you stumble upon a great find at a random restaurant. Thank you for making me feel so happy once again this time! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal♪

The regular size portion is quite substantial. The yakisoba is crispy and hot with plenty of sauce, making it very satisfying. As the weather gets colder, the yakisoba with sauce could be a great way to end a meal. The fried rice is also popular, so I'll definitely try that next time.

I went to Moryu with my friends in Tokyo for drinks and we decided to have ramen as a finishing touch. Luckily, there was a four-person table available so we sat there. Hokkaido is known for its delicious ramen shops, but we chose Moryu because they have been serving the same great taste for decades. To me, not knowing Moryu is like not really experiencing Susukino. The photo is of the chashu ramen we ordered (sorry for the blur). Each of us enjoyed our ramen and ended up ordering more dishes to share, including gyoza. Everyone was satisfied.

In the center of Susukino, there is a popular ramen shop called Moryu Ramen. Even at 2 am, there is a line outside. Two people entered the shop. Despite drinking too much, the power of alcohol is scary. An ankake yakisoba jumbo costs 1150 yen including tax and is enough for 2-3 people, it just doesn't seem to decrease. The taste is delicious. The fried rice is fluffy and flavorful, simply delicious. Moryu Ramen is delicious, hearty, and affordable. Even late at night, the bright lights are captivating, and I always end up overeating. Satisfaction level is high. Will definitely go again.

A stable and delicious Chinese restaurant located in a bustling street. They offer generously sized portions at a reasonable price. The menu is extensive, and you can turn a single dish into a set meal by adding around 250 yen. Even though it's around 11 p.m., the restaurant is packed. It seems to be loved by both locals and tourists. On a side note, Ramen restaurant Sumire is open until 12:30 a.m., but even at 11 p.m., there was a long line extending to the main road on the first floor. It was definitely a length that wouldn't make it in time for closing.

The chicken salt ramen was delicious!!! I tried it for the first time and it was a hit. Maybe because I had it after drinking? haha Anyway, it was so tasty that I drank all the soup!! The ramen at Manryu is really delicious, isn't it?! The mini fried rice was less oily than last time, making it easier to eat. Maybe it depends on who makes it? haha It was also very moist and delicious! The gyoza, not shown in the photos, was really delicious. I want to try it with white rice next time. No matter what, I keep coming back to Manryu. I want to keep giving in to temptation. Thank you for the meal ★

Ankake yakisoba is popular here, so I tried it. It's quite soupy. It's very hot! Too hot! But surprisingly, I can still eat it. It's packed with ingredients. It's nice to see quail eggs in it. The noodles don't stand out much. I prefer the sauce to be thicker. The fried rice is oily! Very moist. It might be a matter of preference, but the taste is good without any strong flavors. Mankiyo is a place I would visit again. Thank you for the meal! ★

I came to Sapporo for a trip and was thinking about what to eat for lunch. I felt like having it after a long time, so I visited the original main store in Susukino. Moryu has several branches, but I went to the main store. Their original Sapporo ramen, ankake yakisoba, and fried rice are famous, but I like ankake yakisoba, so I ordered it for 1020 yen. Please note that they offer a regular size, not just the jumbo size. The chewy noodles with the thick ankake sauce were incredibly delicious. And it was filled with plenty of ingredients. Once you try it, you'll get addicted to its consistently delicious taste. Thank you for the meal.

Popular Chinese restaurant in the center of Usunono. This location is the main branch, with several other branches nearby. Visited on a weekday for a late meal at 9:40 pm. The restaurant was almost full, but managed to get a seat through turnover. The interior has counter seats and tables. The customers seemed to be either mainland Chinese dining or people like me who came for a late drink. Ordered through a ticket vending machine system in advance. The "Ankake Yakisoba (regular)" for 1020 yen and the Jumbo size for 1150 yen are popular choices. The fried rice (Jumbo) is also recommended. The dish arrived in about 10 minutes. Even the regular size was quite large. The flavor was good, with a slightly thick sauce and slightly clumpy noodles, but surprisingly tasty. Maybe it's the effect of drinking late? Overall, it was a reliable Ankake Yakisoba, and I will consider this place for late-night dining in Usunono. I'm curious about the rumored Jumbo size and the fried rice. However, it seems difficult to finish them alone, so it's better to bring a companion.

Starting today, Mantsuru in Sapporo serves incredibly large portions! The large size is almost double the normal size. Their 1,000 yen set menu for Chinese rice dishes is a great deal with both portions being of a regular size. They have a strong presence as a local Chinese restaurant. The place is always bustling with customers.

After a drinking party, I stopped by for a bowl of miso ramen in Sapporo. However, it tasted similar to the miso ramen commonly found in Tokyo. It was delicious, but I wish it had a bit more richness and creaminess.

I've been here a few times before, and each time I was curious about it. So, after work with a very hungry stomach, I nervously ordered it. Its name is the Jumbo Ankake Yakisoba! I just had to try it once. Crunchy noodles coated in hot soy sauce gravy, blowing on it as I ate... Ah, happiness. But it was so hot at first that I had to rinse it with water haha. It's delicious but such a waste~ The cabbage might be better to eat after it cools a bit, a lesson I probably should have learned from the last time I ordered the regular size. I savored it slowly while regretting that I didn't fully apply the lesson from last time. Ah, I think I love the ankake yakisoba here the most. If it wasn't for this taste, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish this amount. It was delicious as always! Thank you! The jumbo fried rice the guy next to me was eating also looked delicious!

I had a work-related drinking party in Susukino after a long time, and I ended up eating miso ramen at Marurin as the last stop. I was a bit drunk, so my memory is a bit fuzzy, but I wanted to report that the store on Ekimae Street has become the main store and that they have repainted the front wall. It was my first time in a while in Susukino, so I didn't post about the first and second bars we visited. I felt a bit peckish, so I thought I'd have some ramen before heading home. There was a red ramen shop, wasn't this "Marurin Ekimae Street store"? Upon closer inspection, it says "Marurin Main Store". Did they renovate it and make it the main store? Since I'm here, I'll have my meal here (laughs). I ordered the most popular miso ramen for 860 yen. In the central area where prices over 900 yen are becoming common, this price is quite pleasing. It was served in about 5 minutes (probably). Let's dig in! The soup is definitely Sapporo-style miso ramen. The garlic is mild, the ginger is fragrant, and it has a slight spicy kick. It's the miso ramen that everyone imagines. The noodles are smooth and medium-thick, and the chashu is thickly sliced with a good texture. I'm not a fan of wakame in ramen, but it didn't affect the taste of this miso ramen at all. It was a delicious meal. Even though I was a bit drunk, I managed to write (remember) about Marurin.

I visited Manryu on Wednesday after work. I ordered the Jumbo Chinese rice for 1050 yen and 6 dumplings for 550 yen. The Chinese rice had hot sauce poured over the rice, with various ingredients like mushrooms, shrimp, and a fried egg, making it enjoyable until the last bite. I liked that it had a variety of vegetables. I couldn't stop eating with a spoon. The meal also came with soup, which was a bit salty but still delicious! The dumplings were also tasty! My friend had miso ramen, which was also delicious. While the Chinese rice was good, I personally prefer the noodles with sauce. When you visit, let me know which one you prefer! Thank you for the meal!

I visited as the second stop to end the night. I ordered the popular miso ramen and added zangi. They were delicious, but neither left a strong impression, more like just average. The yakisoba with thick sauce might have been a better choice. Thank you for the meal.

There is an old ramen or Chinese restaurant in Susukino!! No matter if you order the ultimate soy sauce, ultimate salt, ultimate miso, or Chinese fried rice... the ultimate soy sauce is a little disappointing!! The ultimate miso is good but the chili oil is a bit too much. The most classic miso ramen and fried rice are the best!! The mapo ramen is also good.

Near Susukino, we visited Manryu when we were feeling hungry. After work, my wife and I went there together. We started with beer and gyoza to quench our thirst, then ordered an ankake yakisoba, a regular portion of men's fried rice, and an extra order of zangi because we were also hungry. Personally, I think ankake yakisoba is a specialty of Sapporo and it's really delicious. The men's fried rice comes with thick slices of char siu, perfect as a beer snack. The fried rice itself is also very tasty. It really helped us relax after a long day. The customers were mostly locals, but there was also a foreign tourist family who stumbled upon the place and it was a great choice for them. If you have a big appetite or a large group, you can opt for the jumbo size of ankake yakisoba or fried rice for an additional 150 yen. The ramen dishes are also delicious. If you ever find yourself in Susukino, make sure to visit Manryu at least once!

This shop, which you feel like eating regularly, is so famous in Susukino that if you are a regular visitor, you have probably visited it at least once. They are open from noon until midnight. The specialty is definitely their fried rice. The regular size portion is quite large, and they also have a jumbo size. It's nice that you get change back from 1,000 yen.

The usual ramen shop was closed, and the nearby famous shops were unusually crowded, so I ended up getting the jumbo ankake yakisoba. It was a generous serving as always. The noodles were delicious! The cooking was just right. I personally prefer it a bit crispier, but it was still good. I topped it with plenty of vinegar and enjoyed it while it was piping hot! It's a bit pricey, but it's a dish I like to have occasionally.

Mitsuryu in Susukino is a place that you'll crave to eat at regularly. It's so famous that anyone who plays in Susukino would know about it. Their jumbo fried rice is especially popular and I recommend it! Today, I wanted to eat a lot so I ordered the An-kake Yakisoba and Mini Chahan. I wanted to have An-kake fried rice, so that's why I chose it. (＾∀＾)

I didn't eat enough at the banquet, so I stopped by my usual spot, Manryu, to fill up. I usually have ramen, gyoza, and beer, but this time I was in the mood for fried rice, so I ordered the Men's Jumbo fried rice. Despite being a jumbo size, the portion of fried rice felt a bit small. However, the chashu was incredibly tender and delicious. I'll definitely be back for some more rice to finish off my meal.
