Ramen Sapporo Akahoshi

This is a very famous Japanese restaurant in Sapporo. The main dish is ramen. I especially like the pork bone ramen here. The soup is really delicious. The thick barbecued pork is really satisfying.

A ramen shop with some fame. Mapo noodles are the specialty. However, I don’t really like tofu, so I ordered another noodle dish. The portion was super small, so I could only eat it as a snack. The taste was still okay.

Speaking of Sapporo, you've got to try miso ramen at least once. But as is often the case with local specialties, you'll often find yourself wondering, "What's this specialty?" when you visit a large main street restaurant. In that case, look no further than this restaurant. Located in the Tanukikoji shopping arcade, it boasts easy access and incredible value: shoyu/sho ramen for 600 yen and miso ramen for 800 yen. The barely ten-seat counter, the old-fashioned ticket machine, the cash-only policy, and the predominantly solo local clientele all add to the charm of this place. The miso ramen is thick yet not heavy, and not overly salty, making it easy to reach for another bite. The noodles are chewy and satisfying, and the meat is well-cooked, giving it a tender texture. For Sapporo miso ramen, this is the place to go!
