Ramen Thursday, located in Sapporo's Chuo Ward, is a popular restaurant where you can enjoy a bowl of ramen made with dried sardine broth and their proud homemade noodles. In addition to their signature dish, "Dried Niboshi Shoyu," we will introduce their other popular dishes and the reasons why they are so delicious.

"Ramen Thursday" is located about a two-minute walk from the Sapporo City Tram "Nishisen 9-jo Asahiyama Koen-dori" stop in Chuo-ku, Sapporo. There is also parking for three cars, so it is easily accessible by car.

The most popular item is the "Niboshi Shoyu" (dried sardines with soy sauce) for 650 yen

The signature dish at Ramen Thursday is this "Niboshi Shoyu." The soup, which has a strong hint of niboshi stock, draws you in from the first sip with its delicious flavor and unique taste that makes the most of the niboshi's original flavor. The soy sauce also pairs perfectly with the savory flavor of the niboshi.

The noodles are homemade using whole wheat flour, and are delicious with both flavor and umami. You can choose between regular noodles (medium thick) or thick noodles, and either type of noodles can be changed to hand-kneaded noodles.

"Kara (spicy) Tsukemen (2 servings, thick hand-kneaded noodles)" 800 yen

Another popular menu item is the "tsukemen" which allows you to fully enjoy the proud homemade noodles. The best part of tsukemen is being able to taste the deliciousness of the noodles. There is also the happy dilemma of whether to eat it with regular noodles or thick noodles to enjoy the true essence of tsukemen even more.

"Kara (spicy) Niboshi" 700 yen

Another popular dish is the "Kara (spicy) Nibo", which is made with the homemade "Nibosi chili oil" to give it just the right amount of spiciness. This dish is exquisite, as it allows you to enjoy the spiciness without compromising the flavor of the dried sardines.

It's also great that you can customize your cup to suit your taste with small toppings!

Moreover, the prices are easy on the wallet, with the most popular "Niboshi Shoyu" being 650 yen! In fact, since the opening, they have been offering it for 500 yen, but recently they have reluctantly raised the price twice, but it is still an amazing value for money. It is hard to enjoy this taste at this price.

The owner of Ramen Thursday, Ibaraki, was previously the manager of a certain famous curry restaurant. The origin of the restaurant's name comes from the fact that the curry restaurant served ramen on Thursdays, which was its regular day off. The soup used at the time was made with "pork clear soup" instead of dried sardines, and had a nostalgic taste. The noodles were made with a pasta machine, and about 30 servings were served, but the bowl eaten in the shop, filled with the aroma of curry, captivated ramen enthusiasts. It became so popular that it would sell out immediately every week, which led to the current store opening.

At Ramen Thursday, even ramen enthusiasts can enjoy a bowl of ramen at this price. If you are in Sapporo, please stop by!
