“Yamarashi KuroTora” which translates, impressively, into “Mountain Storm Black Tiger” is a nice little ramen restaurant that can be found in central Sapporo. It can be found one block south from the shopping arcade known asTanuki Koji. It is one of three of the ‘Yamarashi ramen’ chains, the other two also being in Sapporo (see below). The restaurant only has seating for eight. Once inside you can find a vending machine on your right with which to order your ramen. Unfortunately, this is only in Japanese. the menu is pictured but for information on the kanji, read below.

Choose from one of six flavors
There are six different flavors, though each has the same basic ingredients of pork, spring onion, noodles, and nori (dried seaweed). Each flavor has a slightly different nuance. 白 is the basic ramen which is salt flavored, or you can try 味噌白 which is the same with but seasoned with miso. 黒 is ramen with soy sauce added, and 海 is a seafood flavored ramen. For something a little spicier, you may prefer the red ramen 赤 or 味噌赤 which is the miso version. Whatever your pick, the ramen here is delicious! The miso and soy sauce ramen being the most popular. For a little extra yen, you may add toppings to your dish. For two other locations, read below.

Opened in 1873, the Tanuki Koji shopping arcade is one of the oldest shopping streets in Hokkaido. The covered arcade extends for 200 metres and is broken up into seven blocks. It runs directly between Odori and Susukino subway. With around 200 stores including restaurants, bars and hotels, it is one of the most popular shopping areas for tourists. The ‘Tanuki’ or ‘Raccoon Dog’ has long been steeped in Japanese folklore and is the symbol of the shopping arcade. There are also a couple of festivals that are held here during the year.
