百名店 北海道

Do you want to try the best of the best Japanese ramen? Of course, you do! What better way than with a ranking? Maybe a simple Top 3 is all you need. You can go with the classic Top 10. The 50 Best is a popular number these days. Then you have 100. 百 (pronounced hyaku in Japanese) was chosen for Tabelog’s ambitious 百名店 (hyakumeiten or 100 famous shops) project. Genres of casual grub across the country are given Top 100 lists. Ramen, one of Japan’s most beloved casual cuisines, has its own top 100 list for different regions of Japan.

Here are the top 100 ramen shops in Hokkaido for 2024. For your convenience, they are listed in order of general ranking. Keep in mind that these lists cover six regions. Tokyo, Kanagawa, Osaka, East Japan, West Japan, and Hokkaido each have their own page. Happy hunting!

The Hyakumeiten lists can be found on Tabelog.com here.

A Hokkaido list? Sure, why the heck not? It’s not like any of us developed a severe case of hyakumeiten OCD over the years, planning our work and travel around an arbitrary list of ramen restaurants in a country with over 50,000 of them. It’s not like any of us, in 2023, used our Japan Airlines frequent flyer miles to book a flight to New Chitose Airport just so we could finish the list at Menya Rei. It’s not like any of us, having visited what we thought were all of the best ramen shops in Hokkaido, took our newfound freedom to try some of the best curry and seafood the country has to offer. Of course not.

Yeah, I hate this list, but it made me take a step back and realize that these lists aren’t some kind of uber scavenger hunt for weirdos. These lists are simply recognition for being quality amongst locals, and that is that. And though the Hokkaido list is more of a Sapporo list, some gems snuck in towards the bottom. Just look at number 100, Ajinodaio. It’s in Muroran, a city that might garner C or D-list celebrity among famous cities in Japan (A-list if you like industrial factories). Though Muroran isn’t getting much tourism, they have their own ramen style, and the originator of Muroran curry ramen deserves some love.

I do wish there were more off-the-beaten-path shops, as the real appeal of Hokkaido is getting away from Sapporo for either winter sports or summer camping. As someone who has traveled extensively around Japan’s northern island, I can say that good restaurants are hard to find, but real gems when you make it.
