Located just 2-3 blocks from Sapporo station in the basement of the Hokuren Building and not much more than a hole in the wall-type place, this little shop puts out a fantastic Hokkaido style miso ramen. Rich broth with deep flavor, noodles are not overcooked,...good quality port, and vegetables that are fresh and crunchy. It's a simple affair here, so the service feels quite spartan, especially with the 1980s style ticket machine to buy a ticket to pay for your meal--kind of nostalgic... There isn't much atmosphere (no windows, no view, basic setting). Prices are very high for what you're getting (JPY 800-1200 for a bowl of ramen is a lot given the basement location), but I was ok to pay as it was very good. I visited September 2020 while on an unavoidable business trip (during the coronavirus pandemic) and all but one of the staff were wearing masks, so the level of care toward customers was pretty good. You'll likely need to queue as there are just a handful of seats. If you're nearby and enjoy ramen, particularly Hokkaido-style miso ramen, you can't go wrong with Ichiryuan.More

Noodles were "QQ" or firm which went great with their very tasty and rich stock. The meat pieces melt in your mouth and the runny egg in the noodles was an absolute delight! Place was however a little small and a bit of a squeeze

Husband and stopped at Sapporo Station from Niseko, and decided to try out this restaurant. We wanted to try it out on our journey towards Niseko, but it was a weekday close to 12pm and the queue was really Long. Avoid lunch crowd on weekdays...if you’re in a hurry as there are office crowds as well. We had another miso ramen at another ramen restaurant and didn’t enjoy it entirely as we found it to be a little bland. But the miso ramen here was rich yet subtle with the earthy taste of the miso. There was some scramble eggs in it as well, that added delicately and balanced to the dish. A flavourful dish with depth. Noodles were al dente and pork was soft and tender. We also had the mapo ramen, which was nice and lightly spiced. It has an egg drop in it and some minced Pork. Lovely with a light citrus (yuzu) note. There were complimentary genmaicha tea too! And really pretty and not cheap tablewares! Staffs were attentive and enthusiastic. They simply enjoy working there and take pride in their food-you can tell. Has a nicely weird contemporary vice with Beatles music playing in the background. Miso ramen was so good. Husband even said that maybe we could go back again for it before we leave for Osaka! At a convenient location at the Sapporo Station. Exit 23.More

Located near Tokyu department store on a basement with no obvious sign, so be prepared to spend some time finding it. I arrived at the restaurant at around 12:45pm, with about 12 people in queue. Waited for about 20 minutes to get into it. There...is a vending machine put outside and you have to buy the ticket first. The machine gives change. Very small inside, and every seat has to be taken, do not think you can occupy a 4-seat booth with only 2 people during busy time. You hand over the ticket to the lady and wait for a few minutes, the noodle will arrive. Ice water is put on the table and is self served. I ordered a miso ramen that came with 2 slices of pork belly. The noodle is very good, al dente, but to me the soup is a bit too strong, and need to drink a lot of water. I guess because of cold weather in Hokkaido, the soup tend to be more thick, sometimes even comes with a slice of butter. The ramen comes with a small portion of scramble egg. I downloaded a coupon and was given half of an onsen egg for free. Will visit again but drink less soup next time.More

We had an hour for lunch before our train was to depart and wanted to experience ramen in Sapporo. We settled on this establishment primarily due to its proximity to the train station. The stairway down to the basement is located on the southeast corner...of the intersection; we found a small sign pointing down to the basement at street level. We arrived right around 11:15 and encountered no line as they were just opening; we got in a few minutes before 11:30. They only have 6 counter seats and 2 four-person tables. By the time we were done, the line extended well down the hallway outside. You make your selection at the vending machine out front. Food was served promptly and the hot-steaming bowls of noodles were delicious.More

The ramen on a cold winter night is a God send. The broth is thick and flavourful and the noodles were al-dente. It is not too expensive too.

Yes, there's a wait. Luckily it's indoors: the restaurant is in a basement area with other restaurants nearby. It's a smallish place but the line moves pretty quickly. And the ramen is some of the best I've ever had. Worth it!

Group of 9 (foreigners) waiting in line for restaurant. Restaurant across ramen shop complained about the “crowding” in the small hallway. The staff were rude and only targeted us to get closer to the wall when no line was established. And told 4 of our...friends to move to the back of the line. Kept telling us to move in when other people (Japanese/Asians) were doing the same thing and didn’t get warned like us. They weren’t apologetic or considerate while we were doing our best to stay in line with the limited amount of space in the small hallway. We didn’t get to try the food, eventually left, and went across the street to ramen republic which has 5 different ramen shops.More
