Menya Nanabei Honten
麺屋 菜々兵衛 本店
Overview
A famous tori-paitan (chicken paitan) restaurant located in a residential area of Kawashimo, Shiroishi-ku, Sapporo, about a 15-minute walk from JR Heiwa Station. It has been selected as one of Tabelog's Top 100 Ramen Restaurants for 9 consecutive years (2017-2025). This established restaurant, also selected for Bib Gourmand 2017, has presented a definitive form of tori-paitan in Hokkaido's ramen scene. The signature Tori Paitan Shio Ramen features a smooth-textured chicken paitan that is different from the so-called 'thick potage type'. Collagen and umami extracted from chicken carcasses and chicken feet are thoroughly dissolved in the soup, creating a finish that is not heavy and can be fully savored down to the last drop. The noodles are medium-thin and straight, characterized by a firm, slightly chewy texture typical of low-hydration noodles from Asahikawa. Their perfection lies in the way the wheat flavor intertwines with the soup and their strong chewiness, making them satisfying even on their own. Toppings include a large chashu slice of pork shoulder loin, tender and long hosaki-menma (bamboo shoots), Kujo green onions (limited to 20 servings), and shinachiku (preserved bamboo shoots), all balanced aesthetically. The menu also offers a wide range of options including jidori (local free-range chicken) shio (salt) and shoyu (soy sauce) ramen (chintan style), homemade shrimp wontons, and mini fried rice. The menu composition changes seasonally. It's rare in Sapporo to find a ramen shop that specializes in tori-paitan rather than miso ramen, and this establishment has many repeat customers, both locals and tourists alike.

1Before entering
A roadside shop located in a residential area in Kawashimo, Shiroishi Ward, about a 15-minute walk from "Heiwa" Station on the JR Chitose Line. Due to its residential location, visiting by car is practical, with 6-7 parking spaces in front of the shop and an adjacent coin parking lot also available. Business hours vary by day: Monday is day and night, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday are day and night (night starts at 18:00), Saturday, Sunday, and public holidays are lunch only, and Wednesday is a regular closing day. Since there is no evening service on Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, avoid visiting after sunset. There are days when people line up before opening, but it is often possible to enter without waiting if you avoid peak hours.
2Purchasing meal tickets
A pre-purchase system where you buy meal tickets first at the ticket vending machine at the shop entrance. A "No. 1 Popular" sticky note is affixed to the vending machine, making it easy to choose the standard Chicken Paitan Shio (1,100 yen). You can also purchase tickets for Jidori Chintan Shio/Shoyu, Jidori Shoyu/Chicken Paitan Shoyu topped with homemade shrimp wontons, and toppings like mini char-han (fried rice) or ajitama (seasoned egg). Payment is cash only; credit cards, e-money, and QR code payments are all not accepted.
3Seating and receiving
Upon entering with your meal ticket, staff will guide you to an available seat. Seating consists of 6 counter seats and 3 raised tatami-style tables for 6 people each (total 24 seats). Groups and families naturally gravitate to the raised tables, while solo diners go to the counter. Service is quick, taking 5-10 minutes, and noodle firmness can be adjusted to "普通" (futsu, regular) or "やや固め" (yaya katame, slightly firm).
4Other
The shop has separate entrance and exit points, with a unique flow where you exit from the back door. The operation emphasizes high turnover, so it is in line with the shop's rhythm to leave promptly after finishing your meal without lingering. There are plenty of options for repeat visits, such as the 20-serving limited Kujo green onion topping, shrimp wontons, and mini char-han sets.

Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya (Ikebukuro): Navigating the Japanese-Only Ticket Machine and a Review of its Robust Miso Ramen
Miso Mendokoro Tasakaya, a miso ramen specialist located in Nishi-Ikebukuro, is just about a 5-minute walk from Ikebukuro Station's West Exit. This shop is known for its hearty miso ramen: a thick, rich, slightly sweet miso broth, firm thick noodles, melt-in-your-mouth chashu, and a towering pile of crisp bean sprouts (moyashi) – a truly robust and voluminous bowl. The menu features four main series: Miso Ramen, Kara-Miso Ramen (spicy miso), Aemen (a brothless mixed noodle dish), and IWGP Geki-Kara Ramen (extra hot). This guide, based on our visit on Friday, May 22, 2026 (arrived at 6:39 PM with a 13-person queue), provides photos and tips for first-time visitors to Japan. We'll cover how to navigate the Japanese-only, no-photo ticket vending machine using a color guide, understand the queuing situation (only 9 counter seats and long noodle cooking times mean slower turnover), tips to avoid crowds, and the cash-only payment policy.

Ramen Jiro "Kabuji" (Shinjuku-Kabukicho): The Complete Guide to Jiro Calls and Timing
Just a 1-minute walk from Seibu-Shinjuku Station North Exit, Ramen Jiro Shinjuku-Kabukicho, affectionately known as Kabuji (a nickname combining Kabukicho + Jiro), is the fourth oldest chokkei (direct-lineage) shop of the Ramen Jiro chain. Its late-night hours from 11:30 AM to 2:30 AM (Mon, Tue, Thu-Sun, closed Wed) are a unique advantage among chokkei shops, making it ideal for combining with Kabukicho sightseeing or as a late-night ramen after drinks. With its semi-emulsified pork-bone shoyu broth, homemade flat thick wavy noodles, unique call (shouted topping order ritual) culture (Ninniku (raw grated garlic), Yasai (boiled bean sprouts on top), Abura (solid back fat for richness), Karame (extra soy tare for stronger salty taste), Mashi (more, about 1.5×), Sukuname (less, about half)), the chokkei system of ticket-folding (a wordless system to request firmer or softer noodles by folding the meal ticket) to specify noodle hardness, lot system (a Jiro-specific eating rhythm where the same batch of customers finish together) manners, and specific rules (no phone calls, no photography except ramen, no drunken entry), this article provides a complete guide based on our visit on May 15, 2026, where we ordered a Small Ramen (¥950) with the call 'Ninniku Sukuname, Yasai, Abura'.
