Ramen Mokuyobi
ラーメン 木曜日
Overview
Ramen Mokuyobi is a popular niboshi-style ramen shop known for being a regular on the 'Ramen Hokkaido Hyakumeiten' (Top 100 Ramen Shops in Hokkaido) list, located a 2-minute walk from the Sapporo streetcar stop 'Nishi-sen 9-jo Asahiyama-koen-dori.' The shop relocated from Chuo-ku Minami 4-jo Nishi 21-chome to Minami 8-jo Nishi 13-chome and operates in a compact space with only 10 L-shaped counter seats, focusing on its two main pillars: niboshi shoyu (dried sardine soy sauce ramen) and tsukemen (dipping noodles). The signature niboshi shoyu is a clean and refreshing bowl where the richness of lard harmonizes with a broth made from niboshi (dried sardines) and kombu (kelp), crafted to thoroughly suppress the bitterness unique to niboshi, making it a 'drink-all-the-soup' type. The noodles are homemade, with a choice between thin straight noodles and thick hand-kneaded noodles; the thick noodles offer a chewy texture, while the thin noodles are designed to be enjoyed as one with the soup. There is a rich variety of derivative options such as 'Karani-bo' (spicy niboshi), 'Niboshi Abura' (extra niboshi oil), and the tsukemen's rich niboshi option, 'Koinibo,' and special days for thick noodles are also featured. On the table, bonito powder and mackerel garlic powder are available, allowing you to significantly change the flavor profile in the latter half of your meal. Prices, such as 700 yen for niboshi shoyu and 750 yen for Karani-bo, remain under 1,000 yen even after the price increase in January 2026, earning it the local praise of 'superb cost performance.'

1Before entering
2 minutes walk from "Nishi-sen 9-jo Asahiyama Koen-dori" tram stop, approximately 20 minutes walk from "Nishi-18-chome" station on the Tozai subway line. Open only for 4 hours from 11:00 to 15:00 on Monday-Saturday and public holidays, closed on Sundays, so it's best to check the calendar before visiting. Even on weekdays, multiple people start lining up 15 minutes before opening, and the queue often extends outside the shop by opening time. On winter or bad weather days, the queue tends to be shorter, so if you want to minimize waiting time, aim for before opening in the morning or during bad weather.
2Purchasing meal tickets
The method is to purchase meal tickets at the ticket vending machine inside the entrance first, but the machine has no photos or English display, and the menu is only in Japanese text. Tourists and first-time visitors are advised to check the menu (Niboshi Shoyu, Karanibo, Tsukemen, Koinibo, etc.) beforehand. If the queue extends outside, first line up outside, and then purchase meal tickets at the vending machine after being called into the shop. The main dishes are Niboshi Shoyu (700 yen), Karanibo (750 yen), Tsukemen, and Koinibo (rich niboshi tsukemen), and you can add toppings such as sliced pork chashu (rose/bara), flavored egg, and medium rice. Payment is cash only; credit cards, e-money, and QR code payments are not accepted.
3Seating and receiving
When handing the meal ticket to the staff, verbally tell them your noodle type (thin straight noodles / thick hand-kneaded noodles / daily special thick noodles), amount of oil, richness of flavor, and noodle firmness. For first-time visitors, it's safe to ask for "普通" (futsu - regular) for each, and yuzu peel (free) can also be added if desired. There are only 10 L-shaped counter seats, and serving takes about 5-10 minutes.
4Other
Changing the flavor in the latter half of the meal with bonito flakes powder and mackerel garlic powder on the table is a classic. For tsukemen, if you ask for soup-wari (soup dilution) at the end, you can enjoy the lingering flavor of niboshi and seafood dashi until the last drop. If you use the coin parking in front of the shop, you may receive benefits such as free toppings or large-sized noodles as a parking service, so using nearby coin parking is common for car visits.

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'.
