Sennari Ramen in Yoichi is a great local ramen spot you can visit on your way from Niseko.
It is especially convenient if you are traveling between Niseko and Yoichi.
I visited for the first time even though it has been around for many years.
Yoichi is well known for seafood, but there are also many good ramen shops in the area.
About Sennari Ramen Yoichi
Sennari Ramen is a long-established local ramen restaurant in Yoichi.
It offers a variety of ramen, from light soy sauce-based flavors to rich miso ramen.
Is It Crowded?
I visited after 1:00 PM, and there were only two groups of customers.
However, when I pass by during lunchtime, the parking lot is usually full.
What I Ordered
I ordered the special soy sauce ramen with dried fish broth powder.
The powder is placed on top of the seaweed, and you can mix it into the soup to change the flavor.
I usually prefer rich ramen, but this lighter style was surprisingly delicious.
I also tried the miso ramen with spicy green onions.
The spicy onions added a great kick, and the flavor was well balanced.
Both ramen dishes use curly noodles that hold the soup very well.
Price
Ramen starts from around ¥830 (about $5.50), making it a very affordable option.
Rice is available from around ¥150 (about $1), which is also very cheap.
Access
Sennari Ramen is located in Yoichi, about 1 to 1.5 hours by car from Niseko and around 1 hour from Sapporo.
The route from Niseko is easy to drive, and even in mid-March, the roads were mostly dry with only some snow remaining.
My Experience
If you are visiting Yoichi and want something different from seafood, this is a great option.
Sennari Ramen offers both light and rich flavors, so it is easy to find something you like.
