Great restaurant serving Hakodate’s signature shio ramen.
The restaurant provides two choices of ramen:
1. Shio ramen
2. Shoyu Ramen
The broth is not too oily and has a really textured flavour, giving it a different taste than those chain ramen restaurants. The chasiu is also exceptionally great.
In addition, this is a family-run restaurant and so it has its own special recipe, from which every bowl of ramen is made with the heart. Although it is a very small business in Hokkaido, the family continues to make its heartfelt ramen in this little shop at a small alley in Hakodate.
I sincerely recommend this shop to you all and hope you will enjoy it!

This is definitely a local spot! They open at 11:30am and I got there around 12pm and there was already a line. With around 12 people ahead of me, I ended up waiting an hour to get in. The menu is very simple and mainly in Japanese (google translate camera was sufficient.) I went with the salt shio ramen which came pretty quick. I really wanted to do the gyoza too as they looked really good but on the menu it said 16pieces which is a lot for 1person. Later I saw single people get half portions so it is possible!
The broth is light and flavorful and just tastes that something that can replenish the life in you. Chasu was thin and noodles were also a good texture. Towards the end of my bowl, I added a little bit of white pepper to my soup and that completely changed it into something else.
Truly recommend this place but do be prepared to wait.

best ramen in hakodate to me, the owner seems to be strict, but actually he will suggest your choice friendly. I didn’t took the salty ramen which is named by this city Hakodate, but I ordered the 700 jpn vegetable ramen, named by the name of this shop.
The owner couple confirmed with me that vegetable ramen is not the most popular one among tourists, and there is no meat inside. Since it is still fine to me so I finally went to the vegetable ramen in the belief of this shop’s name. =_=#
By the way, dumplings were fine, as well.

Their signature is shio ramen (salt ramen). It is simple yet elegant. Owned by a couple who are very friendly. It’s a very popular store among the locals. It opens at 11:30 and queue started forming at 1135 when I arrived. Great soup and tasty homemade ramen which are very affordable at 500 yen only!

The best shio ramen in Hakodate! It's a light broth but full of umami. Every time we are in Hakodate we don't bother with any other shops.
