The key to success is the "triple soup" made with a combination of dashi stock! The signature dish "Fragrant Soy Sauce Soba"
Let's start by looking at the signature dish, "Fragrant Soy Sauce Soba." The first thing that catches your eye is the clear color of the soup! The "triple soup" is a skillful combination of three types of stock: chicken stock, dried sardine stock, and shellfish stock. The flavors of each stock are perfectly balanced, creating an exquisite, deep flavor.
This delicate triple soup is paired with supple, medium-thin, straight noodles. Not only are they easy to slurp, but you can also really taste the original flavor and umami of the wheat. The owner's attention to detail is also apparent in his choice of noodles, carefully considered to match the soup.
The fragrant soy sauce soba is topped with luxurious ingredients such as tender roast pork, flavorful duck roast pork, and clams. The duck roast pork is topped with a paste made from black truffle and fermented black garlic, which dissolves into a rich, deep-flavored soup.
"Sapporo Miso Ramen" is also popular, with its addictive rich miso soup.
And actually, "Sapporo Miso Ramen" is also one of the popular menu items. This is an exquisite soup that combines pork bone soup boiled for this bowl, dried sardine stock, and a special miso sauce, in addition to the "triple soup"!
This "Sapporo Miso Ramen" uses medium-thick curly noodles that have a springy texture and firmness, which goes perfectly with the rich miso soup.
Another great thing about this miso ramen is that by adding ginger, it takes on a refreshing flavor.
The shop is a 10-minute walk from Horohirabashi Station on the Namboku Subway Line. Parking is available.
The shop is located a 10-minute walk from Horohirabashi Station on the Namboku subway line, and a 5-minute walk from Seishu High School on the tram line. There is parking for two cars, and there is also a paid parking lot near the store, so you can visit by car with peace of mind. (There is also a service available if you show your parking certificate.)
This popular restaurant offers everything from delicate bowls to the classic Sapporo miso ramen! The owner, who has a background in Japanese cuisine, expressed his own experiences in the bowls, and the restaurant was featured in Michelin shortly after opening. Please come and try this impressive bowl!

I love ramen and have been eating ramen around Sapporo for 15 years. I go on a pilgrimage every day in search of a delicious bowl of ramen. I want to liven up the ramen scene in Sapporo! With that in mind, I produced the ramen event "Sapporo Ramen Pilgrimage!!" I also participated in the ramen project on tvh's popular program "EXIT's Ayashii TV". Let's enjoy eating ramen around!
