What's In Our Name? 

We often get asked about our name and what it means. Well, this should give you some background on what we’re all about…

Hokkaido is the northernmost island of Japan’s main islands known for its volcanoes, natural hot springs, snow skiing, and exceptional cuisine.

Ramen is a Japanese noodle soup dish with oriental-style wheat noodles served in a rich and savory broth with pork, chicken, or beef, the freshest combination of vegetables, and a specially soft-boiled egg that’s marinated in a sweet soy sauce.

Irasshaimase is a typical Japanese greeting from the employees when you enter their business that basically means, “Welcome to our store”. You might have wondered what the greeting that was shouted out by the team when you walked in to some of our Hokkaido restaurants, just adding another layer of fun and authenticity.

Izakaya is a casual type of restaurant and pub in Japan that serves Japanese comfort food along with beer, sake, and other drinks.

Hokkaido Ramen Restaurants bring all of these together to provide you an authentic and amazing Japanese dining experience. We are sure you will enjoy it as much as we do, but be warned the food and atmosphere is addicting.
