【Hokkaido】Famous Sapporo Ramen – Keyaki

Posted on by nicklee

Before coming to Sapporo, Hokkaido, several friends recommended trying Keyaki Ramen.
A quick search online revealed numerous positive reviews, making it worth the anticipation.

On the first night in Sapporo, despite having already eaten at Nemuro Hanamaru Sushi and Gyoza no Ohsho, and feeling quite full, I still had to try this Keyaki Ramen. The sign at the entrance reads けやき(Keyaki). Just as I was about to take a photo, a couple rushed in ahead of me, making me wait almost ten minutes for a seat…

↓ Around 9:30 PM, there were still people in line (including me)

While waiting for a seat, I bought a meal ticket. I chose the special ramen.

My wife added a soft-boiled egg for ¥50.

I opted for the regular miso flavor, priced at ¥850.

The miso broth was unique, with a hint of vegetables, but it was also quite oily~

The noodles were incredibly chewy, probably the chewiest I’ve ever had.

The cabbage was also a notable feature.

Naturally, I finished the entire bowl~

This is a simple review of Keyaki Ramen

My personal rating: ★★★ (3)
Comments:
The ramen was a bit salty and oily…
Eating this ramen in the summer felt a bit too hot…
Even though it was only about 16 degrees Celsius in Sapporo at night, the small, crowded restaurant felt quite warm
Therefore, I wouldn’t recommend coming here in the summer~
(Maybe I’ll give it another try in the winter)

Rating Criteria:
Five stars: Absolutely delicious; makes you want to come back for more
Four stars: Tasty; enjoyable but not memorable
Three stars: Not bad; worth a try if you’re nearby
Two stars: Average; safe choice if you don’t want to risk a bad meal
One star: Not my taste; potential disappointment

When it comes to ramen in Hokkaido, the three most famous flavors are Hakodate salt, Sapporo miso, and Asahikawa soy sauce.
When visiting Hakodate, you must try the renowned Hakodate Ramen Kitchen Ajisai.
Hakodate Ramen Kitchen Ajisai originated in Hakodate, Hokkaido, with its main store located in Goryokaku.
I visited the “Red Store,” which is right next to the famous hotel, La Vista Hakodate.

I was initially worried that the milk jam would make the shredded meat taste too sweet and greasy. But when I took a bite, I was surprised to find it incredibly layered! Upon first taste, you’re greeted with a crispy outer layer😋 Then, the smooth and delicate almond milk jam is truly impressive👏🏻 Finally, the salty aroma of the shredded chicken perfectly enriches the whole pie🥮.

Japanese Instant Noodles – Sugakiya – Nagoya Specialty – Miso Udon

Sugakiya is a local food company based in Nagoya. Besides instant noodles, they also produce some frozen foods and seasonings. They offer a wide variety of instant noodles, primarily targeting the Chubu and Hokuriku regions in Japan, so it’s likely unfamiliar to Taiwanese people; I also only learned about it after making a purchase. This time, I bought their Nagoya specialty flavor – Miso Udon noodles, as Nagoya is quite famous for its miso. Therefore, launching a miso udon instant noodle product makes sense. However, I didn’t add any toppings, so it visually lacked a bit!
