Opened in January 2022, "Men Shoki" is a restaurant created by Mr. Nakano, the owner of the popular ramen restaurant "Seaburano God" in Kyoto, who moved to Sapporo. The most popular dish is "Hokkaido's Three Great Kelp Water Tsukemen," which offers the delicious taste of kelp soup stock. Even those who do not usually order tsukemen are surprised to learn the secret behind the ramen, which is "so delicious that you forget to dip it in the tsukemen broth.

The restaurant is conveniently located a 5-minute walk from Kita 24-jo Station on the Namboku Subway Line. When visiting by car, it is close to Ishikari Kaido, a major arterial road in Sapporo, and there are two parking lots next to the store. Even when the parking lot is full, you can use a nearby coin-operated parking lot and receive a free 100-yen topping (and that includes your companion). The restaurant has a counter with four seats and two tables with three seats side by side. There is plenty of space between the seats, so you can enjoy your ramen in a relaxed atmosphere.

A must-try menu item is the "Hokkaido Sanpai Kombu Sui Tsukemen" (tsukemen noodles). The noodles are served with the noodles already soaked in kelp water, and are very tasty even when eaten as they are!

The noodle itself with its chewy texture is also very tasty!

The tsuke soup of "Hokkaido's Three Great Kelp Water Tsukemen

The tsuke soup is a combination of chicken and pork flavor soup and salt sauce, which has been carefully considered to be compatible with the kelp water. As you continue to eat, the flavor of the kelp is added more and more, further increasing the deliciousness.

The soup is served in a bottle.

The best part of tsukemen is the "soup-wari"! The soup is made by adding wari-soup to the remaining dipping sauce, which adds the flavor of kelp to the tastes of the dipping sauce! Although it is quite a lot, the delicious soup is so excellent that it cannot be left behind. The noodle soup is served in a bottle, so each customer can adjust the flavor to his or her liking.
