Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan｜Medaka

It's no exaggeration to say that this is the ramen shop you'll find if you master the deep Showa era feel. The ramen, made by a friendly master who looks like he stepped out of a Showa manga, is surprisingly refreshing, regardless of the appearance of the soup. The noodles didn't have the kansui odor that I felt before, and were medium-thin and slightly curly. It has a strong curvy feel and is a rare type. The chashu has a moderate texture and a strong soy sauce flavor. Honestly, I think some people may feel disappointed if we focus only on the hygiene and ramen, but there is a mysterious space where you can feel at ease just by talking to the master who has a strong service spirit while immersing himself in the nostalgia of the Showa era. The signboard says Okhotsu Ramen, but it was established by a master who had been making Western food long ago, when he changed his mind and started working at a restaurant at Memanbetsu Airport. It's no wonder that there are many regular customers who have been coming here for many years.It's a heartwarming ramen shop from the Showa era. By the way, the gyoza is extremely delicious, so please try it! For those arriving by car. There is no parking lot. The street parking opposite the store is right in front of the police station, so there is a sense of tension.

I entered the shop out of curiosity because it is a very deep shop. I like the taste inside the store. The most delicious gyoza dumplings in Sapporo, the pride of the owner. Smooth and chewy straight noodles. Char siu with the flavor of meat. Soy sauce that is very light and not persistent. I do not recommend people who like plenty of lard. It seems that the shopkeeper himself doesn't like greasy. Also, you can smoke. It seems to be doing almost until 24:00.

The chanmen from the secret menu is delicious and filling. The fried rice and gyoza are also delicious, so I personally love them. The store's layout is quite deep, so it may take some courage to enter, but don't worry, the owner is friendly and funny.
