Ramen Ichiban — Restaurant in Otaru

Absolutely LOVED the food here, and super kid-friendly. They have a big tatami with a bunch of toys and kids games, plenty-suitable for entertaining my 5 year old and 7 yo during the very short wait for food. The specialty of the house is miso ramen, each with a mild spice kick and crazy rich & flavorful broth. They brought kids bowls & cutlery, and my boys went to town on a large bowl of noodles while I gave them a lesson in slurping, demoing from my bowl of spicy soybean ramen. Cash only and they close at 7:30pm, but were kind enough to seat and serve us when we wandered in at 7:05. Street parking was plentiful and the whole experience was a very satisfying, quick in & out.

Shops and eateries were closing at 6pm in the Otaru shopping district. The eating places opened were charging exorbitant prices. Googled and found this quaint little traditional Ramen shop just a short distance off the busy district. The Ramen served here is awesome.. freshly made with a rich flavor in the stock. The char siew slices were juicy and not dry at all. The prices was affordable. We paid 5400yen for our family of 4. This is a fraction of what would have been if we dine in the shopping district. A true gem in a little corner. This is...
