This interestingly named store is a chain of restaurants that can be found throughout all of Japan. There is only one ‘Hole in the Wall’ in Hokkaido and that can be found directly above Sapporo station in the Stellar Place shopping center on the 6th floor. These restaurants originally started as far back as 1952 and were one of the few that started to specialize in spaghetti. Back at that time, Italian food was still very new to Japan so there is a lot of history behind these stores. To make it more familiar with Japanese people they used Japanese ingredients making their own “Japanese-style spaghetti.”
This Japanese, Italian fusion cuisine has some interesting dishes on its menu. Hole in the Wall has five types of raw pasta, including spaghetti, tagliolini and tagliatelle. The menu has over thirty different pastas to choose from, many with toppings with a Japanese flavor such as squid, fish eggs, sea urchin and dried sea weed to name a few. There are lunch sets that come with a salad and drink. The antipasti menu has prosciutto, french fries in garlic butter, or garlic toast. Hole in the Wall also have some nice steak dishes on their main dishes.

Wolf Soup ramen is also known as Ookami Soup. Ookami (which means wolf in English) is an award winning ramen restaurant in Sapporo that specializes in miso ramen and ONLY miso ramen. And no, the ingredients do not contain any wolf! The name reflects on nature and life, which is a running theme through many ramen restaurants. This small restaurant has received awards for its outstanding miso ramen, so if you enjoy ramen, this place is well worth a taste check! As stated, they have only miso ramen on the menu but this restaurant is frequented by many people.
Wolf Soup Ramen opened its doors in 2002 and since then, has enjoyed success. The ingredients that go into their bowls are from mainly Hokkaido. Specifically, many of their vegetables such as potatoes, ginger, garlic and onions are all from provinces within Hokkaido. The noodles themselves, being one of the ingredients, are blended from strong wheat in Hokkaido. Blended brown and white miso used in their dishes are stored in wooden barrels of Shinshuyama Manmiso giving the miso a sharp taste. This single store can be found across from Nakajima Park. It’s best to walk or catch the subway here as there is only parking for one car.
