🍜 Sapporo Shiroishi, Japan — Ramen Ranking

ラーメン・餃子 ハナウタ

Since 2015, this Shiroishi Ward spot in Sapporo has drawn regular lines. Its signature bowl is a medicinal spiced miso ramen that blends seven kinds of kanpo herbs (traditional Chinese medicinal ingredients) with three types of miso, priced at 980 yen for the medium-spice level. Diners praise how the spice, warm enough to bring on a sweat, carries the deep savory flavor of the herbs, leaving them feeling energized and restored. You can choose your heat all the way up to extra-hot, and the ramen pairs beautifully with the large, hearty spiced sui-gyoza (boiled dumplings). At weekday lunch, the meal comes with a serving of rice and takes 100 yen off the gyoza, making it an even more enjoyable stop.

麺屋 おざわ

Menya Ozawa is a specialist miso ramen shop in the Kikusui area of Shiroishi Ward, Sapporo, Hokkaido, and it was named to Tabelog's Ramen Hyakumeiten 2025 (the year's top 100 ramen shops). It is an offshoot of the celebrated Saimi. The menu centers on two options: miso ramen, and miso ramen served with ginger. The soup is rich, layered with the deep flavor of burnt mayu (aromatic garlic oil) and given a bright edge by the ginger, yet the finish is clean and easy to keep drinking without fatigue. Medium-thick curly noodles from Morizumi Seimen come piled generously with bean sprouts and Chinese cabbage for a satisfying, filling bowl. The shop uses a pay-first system that keeps tables turning quickly, and diners also earn praise for the complimentary annin tofu (almond jelly dessert) served after the meal.

餃子と麺 いせのじょう 菊水本店

Located on the first floor of the Kikusui Kaikan building in the Shiroishi Ward of Sapporo, this popular spot has just seven counter seats and can fill to capacity the moment it opens. Its signature is a soy-sauce-based broth that is light and refined yet full of savory depth. Diners come for the well-liked spicy hakusai ramen, made with napa cabbage, and the shoga ramen, a fragrant ginger ramen priced at 900 yen. The gyoza (pan-fried dumplings) are equally praised: five pieces for 450 yen, wrapped in chewy, springy skins and packed with roughly chopped cabbage for a satisfying bite. Together with the shop's nostalgic, retro atmosphere, it makes for a memorable place to enjoy a bowl of ramen and a plate of freshly grilled dumplings.

鶏白湯そば 燠

Toripaitan Soba Oki is a hugely popular chicken paitan ramen shop in the Shiroishi Ward of Sapporo, Hokkaido, where the line rarely lets up. Its signature is a creamy, airy broth that carries almost no sense of oil yet balances deep umami with a full-bodied richness, paired with springy, silky-smooth noodles. Diners can shift the flavor as they eat using three different vinegars, niboshi (dried sardine) vinegar, orange vinegar, and an exotic vinegar, along with a squeeze of lemon. The crisp, juicy karaage (Japanese fried chicken) is another favorite, and a bowl of ramen with two pieces of karaage comes to 1,000 yen. Children's cutlery is on hand as well, making it an easy and welcoming stop for families.

雨は、やさしく

Ame wa, Yasashiku is a miso ramen shop in Sapporo's Shiroishi Ward, Hokkaido, recognized among Tabelog's Hyakumeiten (top 100) and holding a Google rating of 4 across 1,227 reviews. The signature is the shiro-kimo niboshi (white-liver dried-sardine ramen), offered in miso, spicy miso, shio (salt), and shoyu (soy sauce) versions. It is served with medium-thin straight noodles and a mound of chicken white-liver paste in the center, which you dissolve little by little to deepen the broth and turn it richer and creamier. The bowl comes with gobo (burdock) tempura and a seasoned egg for 150 yen, and the shiro-kimo niboshi in miso is 1,200 yen. Diners also praise the stylish, refined space, unusual for a ramen shop, along with its careful, attentive service.
