Sapporo's Evolved Ramen! A Unique Fusion of Ramen & Soup Curry in Susukino
At 'Menya Suzuran' in Susukino, Chuo-ku, Sapporo, you can savor a one-of-a-kind dish that fuses Sapporo's two signature culinary delights: ramen and soup curry. This authentic creation leverages skills honed at a famous Sapporo ramen shop and training experience at the popular soup curry restaurant 'Magic Spice'. So, what does it taste like?
A Bowl Fusing Sapporo Ramen and Soup Curry!
"Kiiro (Sarasara)" (Yellow - Light Broth) 1,200 yen
"Ramen" and "soup curry" are two iconic dishes of Sapporo cuisine. Menya Suzuran's signature menu combines the appeal of both into a single bowl. The lineup features three varieties: the miso-based "Kiiro" (Yellow), the chicken broth-based "Kiiro Sarasara" (Yellow - Light Broth), and the green curry-style "Midori no Kiiro" (Greenish Yellow). Each is a masterpiece blended with authentic spices learned from 'Magic Spice'. The deep aroma of the spices and the rich flavor of the ramen harmonize beautifully. Among ramen enthusiasts, it's sometimes called the "happy yellow bowl" because of its color.
The noodles are medium-thick, curly Sapporo-style noodles. They have a firm texture that holds up well in the hot soup and effectively picks up the spicy broth. With one slurp, the richness of the miso and the aroma of the spices fill your mouth. This is a truly evolved form of Sapporo ramen.
The "Chicken Broth Shoyu" is Also Popular as a Perfect Late-Night Meal
"Tori-dashi Shoyu" (Chicken Broth Soy Sauce) 1,000 yen
Given its location in Susukino, many people visit Menya Suzuran for a bowl of "shime ramen" to cap off a night of drinking. For them, the "Tori-dashi Shoyu" is highly recommended. It's a light, chicken broth-based ramen, yet it has a deep, savory flavor. The noodles are medium-thin and straight. They are easy to slurp down, making it a light meal that you can enjoy even after a night out. It's the ideal bowl for a late-night finish.
A Must-Visit for Sapporo Sightseeing with a Prime Location in the Heart of Susukino
The restaurant is conveniently located about a 3-minute walk from Susukino Subway Station, which is one of the reasons for its popularity. At Menya Suzuran, you can enjoy two of Sapporo's greatest specialties, ramen and soup curry, at the same time. The reason it's loved by both tourists and locals lies in its one-of-a-kind taste. If you're looking for ramen in Susukino, why not give it a try?

I love ramen and have been exploring ramen shops, mainly in Sapporo, for 15 years. I travel daily in search of that "perfect bowl." With a desire to liven up Sapporo's ramen scene, I produce the ramen event "Sapporo Ramen Angya!!" I also participate in the ramen segment of the popular TVh program "EXIT no Ayashii TV." Let's enjoy exploring ramen together!
