It's that time of the year again, it's time for our annual Japan trip!
This time, I visited Japan in summer. The perfect time to visit Hokkaido and enjoy the beautiful view of blooming lavender. In this post, however, I'll be writing about an exciting part of our journey to Hokkaido: food. Particularly, the halal ramen that we had in Susukino, Sapporo.
If you're travelling to Sapporo, I highly recommend staying in the city center around the Sapporo station area. The area is near numerous shopping destinations (there is a huge shopping complex nearby, which includes a gigantic Daimaru, Stellar Place, Tokyu Department Store and a Bic Camera). More importantly, the Sapporo station is only two stops away from Susukino, a vibrant area of the city.
In Susukino, nestled an authentic Japanese ramen restaurant called Ramen Horyu. After discovering the fact that the restaurant was established in 1957, I became even more excited to try their ramen!
The inside of the shop was pretty small, with a capacity of around 30 people. So, we were lucky that we didn't have to queue outside. Summer evening in Sapporo was still pretty cold!
The restaurant have four selections of ramen that are muslim-friendly, served with two main types of broth: miso-based (not spicy and peppery-bean paste broth (spicy). I highly recommend the Genghis Khan in peppery bean-paste broth, which is a ramen served in spicy borth and generous slices of lamb meat.
The ramen was servced with mushroom and slices of scallions. It was the perfect meal for a chilly evening! However, the portion of the ramen was a lot, despite us ordering the normal-size portion. Personally, I think that the normal-size portion can definitely be shared by two or three people!
Ramen Horyu has one or a few more branches across Sapporo. However, the only branch that serves muslim-friendly ramen is this one in Susukino. If you're interested to come and have a taste of this delicious ramen, don't forget to save this address!
