Keyaki is a ramen shop with its main store in central Sapporo in Susukino. Its two other stores can be found at the New Chitose Airport. One is at the international terminal, located at the Hokkaido Ramen Dojo. The other being in the domestic terminal. The ramen here is really good, and is full of so much flavor and color that is not often found at other ramen stores. The ramen at the Hokkaido Ramen Dojo area is particularly delicious. The first store opened in November 1999, in the Susukino district. It has been specializing in miso ramen ever since.
The restaurant (unlike the restaurants at the airport) is not big by any standards and has enough seating for ten people. It is not uncommon to see lines waiting to enter its doors and enjoy a hot ramen. The ingredients that make up the ramen have been carefully chosen over the years. The soup is made from pork and free range chicken from Niigata plus vegetables including shiitake mushrooms. It takes 10 hours to complete the process. Giving their ramen its vivid color are a selection of vegetables including white green onions, purple cabbage, bright carrots, and black mushrooms. The thick pork shoulder has been carefully stewed in a secret homemade soy sauce. Enjoy!

For those who are on their journey out of Sapporo and are looking for one final taste of delicious Hokkaido ramen, then there is still one more chance! You can dine on a last ramen lunch or dinner at the Hokkaido Ramen Dojo. Hokkaido Ramen Dojo is an arcade that runs through the dining area of the New Chitose Airport. This arcade contains ten of some of the most popular ramen restaurants throughout Hokkaido. The arcade is located on the third floor and is easily recognizable by the giant map of Hokkaido made out of ramen bowls!
When entering this area we suggest not diving into the first ramen store you see. Take your time and look around. Each of these ramen restaurants have their own unique taste and extra toppings. They all have your three main flavors, being miso flavored, shio (salt) flavored broth and shoyu (soy sauce) flavored soup, but one of the biggest pulls for this collection of ramen stores is that the stores here have extras for your ramen that can’t be found outside of the airport. All the menus here and the staff are catered for travelers from afar so you will be fine if you don’t speak or read any Japanese. So, for ramen lovers, definitely poke your nose (and your taste buds) in and have a look.

Lotteria is one of the big four fast food restaurants throughout the country. The other three being McDonalds, Kentucky Fried Chicken, and Mos Burger. The company ‘Lotte’ was founded in 1948 by a Korean national, Shin Kyuk-Ho. After stowing on a ship to Japan the company has grown from selling chewing gum to becoming a major multinational corporation. The first Lotteria restaurant opened in 1972 in Tokyo, Japan. The most popular items on their menu include hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and teriyaki burgers. Lotteria’s biggest claim to fame is the invention the shrimp burger in 1977. This burger has since been copied by McDonalds and Mos burger in Japan.
Other items on the menu include sandwiches, french fries, and desserts such as crepes, apple pie, and frozen cake sticks. The burgers here are pretty good, though not the cheapest compared to the other fast food restaurants. But if you want a quick and easy meal whether you are on the fly or out shopping, Lotteria is an option for you. Since its first store in Tokyo, the chain spread to Yokohama, and Ueno. In 1979, the Lotteria brand was established in South Korea, and then spread to South East Asia such as China, Myanmar, Taiwan, and Vietnam. For further locations around Hokkaido, see below.
