Raamen restaurant Kiroro — Restaurant in Sapporo

Small local eatery with delicious food. It was busy with local people, so we were kindly told we would need to wait a long time before we ordered. We arrived at peak dinner service. Since the kind lady who owns the place doesn't speak English, a local gentleman that was sitting at the single seating kitchen bar, came over and explained that we would have to wait. The owner makes each dish by hand, so it generally takes longer than other restaurants. Once we got our food, it was really delicious and everything was fresh and made with care.

I ordered the spicy ramen and she definitely delivered on that. Definitely stop in and discover some local...

El ambiente era muy acogedor, lleno de gente habitual, viendo el béisbol. La carta no está en inglés, pero con el traductor de google, lo entendimos todo, la dueña no habla inglés, pero te puedes entender perfectamente. Muy recomendable, y si vuelvo a Sapporo no dudaré en...
