🍜 Sapporo Higashi, Japan — Ramen Ranking

らーめん吉山商店 本店

Kichiyama Shoten Honten in the Higashi ward of Sapporo, Hokkaido, is a popular ramen shop known for its miso ramen. The signature style centers on carefully roasted sesame, and the top seller is the rich seafood and roasted sesame miso ramen at 980 yen. Orders are taken before you sit down, so your bowl arrives almost as soon as you take your seat, and the attentive service is praised for details like keeping an eye on your water and refilling it. JAF members receive a free large-size portion of noodles, there is an adjacent parking lot, and takeout ramen is also available.

斗香庵 Higashi

Chosen for the Ramen Hokkaido Top 100 restaurants of 2025, this popular shop in the Higashi Ward of Sapporo has built a loyal following. Its chuka soba uses no chemical seasonings, drawing instead on niboshi (dried sardines) and a blend of several soy sauces to create a pure Japanese-style broth. The result is a bowl that tastes gentle and refined yet grows richer in savory depth with every mouthful. The chicken chuka soba at 740 yen is also well regarded, as is the katsudon (breaded pork cutlet over rice). Even when there is a line, the food arrives quickly, and the smooth, spotlessly clean operation is a further part of the appeal.

雨は、やさしくNO,2

Just a ten-minute walk from Sapporo Station, this one-of-a-kind ramen shop in Higashi Ward serves its food in a stylish space with a seven-seat counter. The signature bowl is the hotate tori paitan, a creamy chicken broth (tori paitan) topped with scallop (hotate): straight wheat noodles come with two kinds of chicken chashu (braised sliced chicken), a scallop paste, and gobo ten (tempura-fried burdock root). Diners can also choose the sweet Sapporo-style miso ramen, made lively with ginger. The shop is known for soup so flavorful that guests want to come back for more, and its welcoming atmosphere makes it easy for women to visit on their own.

豚人間

Butaningen is a popular Jiro-style ramen shop in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, Hokkaido. The bowls are built for density and richness: slowly simmered, meltingly tender pork, coarse and textured pork back fat, and a bold punch of garlic that together make for a deeply satisfying meal. The "aburasoba" style served without broth has also earned a loyal following. The shop holds a strong Google rating of 4.4, and diners are impressed by the kind, attentive service from the staff and the clean interior. You can tailor each bowl to your own taste, ordering it "zen-mashi" (every topping piled on to the maximum) or adding extras such as a raw egg or cheese. It stands out as one of the finest examples of Jiro-style ramen you can find in Sapporo.

麺や 亀陣

Menya Kijin is a popular ramen shop in Higashi Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido, dedicated to house-made noodles and cooking without chemical seasonings. The thin, straight house-made noodles slurp down smoothly while keeping a firm, springy bite, and the broths make the most of chicken stock, including the maru-dori chuka soba shoyu (soy-sauce ramen made with whole chicken) and the tori paitan shio (creamy chicken salt broth), praised for their refined, gentle flavor. The freshly cooked chashu rice, topped with braised pork, is another favorite, and the bright, attentive service from the owner and staff is cited as one more reason customers want to come back again.

優月 (ゆづき)

Yuzuki is a popular ramen shop in the Kita-12-jo area of Higashi-ku, Sapporo. It is best known for its mellow, drink-to-the-last-drop miso ramen, its subtly sweet and habit-forming shoyu (soy sauce) ramen, and its shio (salt) ramen, which carries a gentle sweetness from dried-fish stock. A signature dish is the curry, a roux-style curry made with the shop's ramen broth. The miso ramen set is 1,410 yen, and diners praise the shop's strong value for money, which also includes a choice of side dish and the option to add a cutlet topping.

麺鍾馗

Men Shoki is a highly regarded ramen shop in Higashi-ku, Sapporo, chosen for the Ramen Hokkaido Top 100 list two years running, in 2024 and 2025. Its most popular bowl is the ajitama seabura niboshi, a ramen topped with a seasoned soft-boiled egg and simmered in back fat and dried sardine (niboshi) broth; the deep sardine flavor pairs beautifully with iwa-nori rock seaweed, and the noodles, made with wheat from Kyoto, are praised for their springy, chewy texture. The kombu tsukemen, in which the noodles are steeped in kombu-infused water and served with a dipping broth, is called exquisite. Orders are placed at a ticket machine.
