Nanporo Ramen Kirara (南幌らーめん きらら)| Ramen Restaurant | Nanporo (南幌)

Nanporo (南幌) is an agricultural town, 20 minutes away from Sapporo. If you want to eat delicious ramen and cabbages at the same time, I recommend "Nanporo Ramen Kirara (南幌らーめん きらら)" in the town↓

Yes! Their ramen is on "MICHELIN GUIDE Hokkaido 2012 (ミシェランガイド北海道2012)"! Wow! Wow! Wow!

When you come here all the way from Sapporo, you should try "ramen with cabbage kimchi (キャベツキムチらーめん)", which is often featured by TV and magazines!

I personally love their soup, which is made of pork bones, and chicken & duck bones! Sounds wonderful, doesn't it?

Voila!
This is "ramen with cabbage kimchi (キャベツキムチらーめん)"↓

The roasted pork fillet and half-boiled egg are seasoned thick........

The noodles are a little bit curly like this↓

Look at the soup↓ They do not use synthetic seasonings, and you have a pleasant aftertaste!

I really really love this cabbage kimchi! It is not very spicy, and the cabbages are very sweet!! Actually I bought some kimchi after eating the ramen!

Just for reference, this is normal miso ramen (味噌ラーメン), and

rice with pickled leaf mustard (高菜ご飯)↓

We had a wonderful lunch time♪

Kemukarou (燻製茶房 燻香廊)| Smoked Food Cafe/ Restaurant | Yoichi

After enjoying "Nanpo Tometaro Shoten/ Kunseiya (南保留太郎商店 燻製屋)"(click here→), a very popular smoked food shop in Yoichi (余市), we visited "Kemukarou (燻製茶房 燻香廊)" next to the shop↓

Yes! We can enjoy various kinds of dishes and desserts, cooked with smoked food sold in "Nanpo Tometaro Shoten/ Kunseiya (南保留太郎商店 燻製屋)"(click here→).

Actually we were the last ones who could eat lunch in the restaurant that day! Lucky us!!
Which should we order????

I love old folk house restaurants!!

We felt very comfortable and relaxed......

Voila!
Here comes salad and bread↓

Look at the salad↓ including smoked salmon and smoked tofu!! Wow! Wow! Wow! The tofu tastes like cheese!!

This is my main↓ "Smoked chicken and bacon with orange sauce (スモークチキンとベーコンのオレンジソース煮)" is wonderful! Don't you think smoked food goes well with sour orange sauce??

The bacon tastes very rich. Yummy x 2!!

I'm crazy about chicken recently......  It's so tender that I didn't have to use a knife........ Hahaha!!!

This is my dessert↓ It looks like normal cheese cake, but actually it is smoked pumpkin cheese cake (かぼちゃ燻製のチーズケーキ)!!! We can enjoy smoke flavor and sweet pumpkin at the same time!

Don't forget the smoked coffee (アイススモークコーヒー)↓
First drink the bubbles directly, and then drink the rest with a straw! I really recommend this iced coffee!!

We had a wonderful lunch time here!
