Super bongga the coffee here in Family Mart.

You get to choose the flavor of your sugar.

What flavor?

Hazelnut, Vanilla, Caramel, Cinnamon and whole beans po talaga ang gamit nila.

Ayan oh.

Ayan whole beans.

See?

Ito dear, ano ba?

Ayan oh, whole beans and it's very clean and organized.

Ito kukunin ko na yung kape ko.

Ito yung kape.

But I don't put sugar because then, let's put the cover.

So there, and let's go.

Let's go.

So there, let's go.

It's delicious.

I chose the dark one for you.

So there, I chose the dark one.

Hot Coffee Dark.

How much is it for you?

I think for this big size, I paid 205.

So for our money, I think it's around 80 pesos.

You know that this is really worth it.

Well, let's find something to eat.

Ramen Shinggen.

Ramen Shinggen.

Yes, Ramen Shinggen.

So let's get a mask, let's get a taxi.

Wait, my mask.

I can't see it because it's far.

We are going to go far.

Come on, let's ride.

Here, very honest.

The taxis are very clean here.

What is it here? Is it still a trend?

Let's ask it, ma'am. Is it still a trend here?

Let's try to understand that.

We might get called by the authorities.

Hi Miss, right?

So are we gonna line up?

So there, we are lined up here.

This is Ramen Shinggen.

You can see how long the line is.

Maybe the serving is fast.

They said that here, they have a culture that it's like when you eat, it's already standing.

Yes, I read that.

We are not chatting anymore, we are the only ones who like to chat.

So let's see.

Since we are here and we don't have activities for the rest of the day, let's line up.

A few minutes later.

They said that it's gonna wait for more than an hour.

Let's ask the people who are gonna go out if it's good.

I just want to ask how long the line is.

Let's try to understand that.

It's your first time to eat here?

I feel like I'm gonna die here.

I'm gonna puke.

Oh my!

So there, we are gonna look around again.

Because when all of those are standing, you can already see the turnover of the people.

If it's like 30 minutes per turnover.

So there, the places inside are already on vacation.

It's like they are just 3 staff inside.

Let's ask if it's good.

Is it good?

Oh! I'm dead.

I thought that I'm a snatcher.

I'm on weight.

Is there no one standing?

It's good that they are still there.

We are not there yet, they are.

I'm still chit-chatting.

So there's a sitting capacity of around 16.

16 to 17.

And then this one that they are letting in, there is one more waiting here that could accommodate also 16 to 17.

So there is hope.

They are gonna line up inside again.

So the restaurant has a staff of 4.

So far, I have seen 4.

Oh my! It's raining.

It's raining.

Hey! I'm not a snatcher.

Who told you that I'm a snatcher?

Time check, we have been waiting for 20 minutes already.

Time check.

It's 10 to 3.

So there, you show it.

They are already buying cream puffs.

You're eating to get through the hunger.

So time check, we've been waiting here for 1 hour.

And we are about to get in.

So why is this ramen restaurant famous?

Because they say that the ramen base here is boiling for 48 hours.

That's why the flavors are very close, very deep.

We will know it later.

One of the popular ramen flavors is the Miso Ramen

because Sapporo is very famous for Miso Ramen.

There is this one restaurant that the Miso soup was put by ramen noodles the other day.

So that's where the Miso Ramen started.

That's where it started in Sapporo.

So let's try it and they're also popular for their Gyoza and Fried Rice.

So it's almost there, just a bit more.

So I feel that you will be waiting for 1.5 hours to get in.

The line is short right now.

So you should go here around 3 pm to 4 pm, right?

We never know, actually I don't know.

But there are also a lot of people who already left the line.

There are a lot of people who don't want to wait.

At the end of the day, it's up to you.

It just so happened that today, our schedule is free

because we will be in Sapporo for 4 days.

But if your schedule is tight, there are a lot of ramen places.

But we will know it later if it's really worth it to wait in line.

It's just 4 outside and I'm also very weak.

I'm getting tired of sneezing.

This is the owner, look at it.

He put a vendo machine here outside.

Smart.

There's a CR inside, it's so hot.

So there.

It's us now, me.

It smells so good here.

That's why the people who are waiting are not hot anymore.

It smells so good.

Oh my!

You're crazy.

You might think that when you get in, the line is already over but no.

It's just like in the bathroom.

When you get in, you're gonna sit and you're gonna wait in line, right?

So at least, we're already in line.

I'm gonna sneeze, okay?

This is my bag.

Oh my! There's a person.

It's hard here.

So after 2 hours, there it is.

We already cleaned our table and yes, we're gonna sit already.

It's 4.15 so we've been waiting for 1 hour and 50 minutes.

Their seating capacity is just 14.

So I'm just gonna sit here.

Can we add one more mild salt?

One more.

So no, there's a review that the rich salt is too salty.

So let's just order the mild salt so that we can taste it all.

So this is the fried rice or Chahan.

Okay, look.

Let's try.

So good.

I don't know if it's because I'm just waiting but it's so delicious.

As you can see, it doesn't have a lot of meat but it's very very flavorful.

I'm looking at the kitchen, they have like a liquid concentrated seasoning

that comes from a casserole.

That's what they put on everything.

It's so delicious.

Taste it, dear.

It's so good.

It's very peppery.

You can taste the smoke and their casserole is high pressure cooker.

You can really taste that all the flavors stick on each bottle, right?

It doesn't have a lot of meat but it's flavorful, right?

It's so delicious.

Let's order more.

One more Chahan.

So what?

It's so delicious, right?

What makes it unique?

Okay.

And this is the Gyoza.

Spicy Miso.

There it is.

There it is, the Ramen.

My gosh!

It's so big.

Let's try.

So the soup of this Miso.

It's so delicious, right?

It's delicious.

It's so unique.

The taste is different.

You know that...

It tastes so natural.

Very meaty.

You know that it doesn't have any seasonings

but only the long cooking simmering of the broth.

This one is the light salt.

This one is very plain.

So if you don't like any heavy flavor on your Ramen,

you may choose the light salt but for me, I prefer this Miso.

Now, let's try the noodles.

The noodles are perfectly cooked.

The bite is very al dente.

The Gyoza.

The Gyoza is just enough.

Nothing special.

The Ramen and the Fried Rice are just enough.

And I will queue up here again.

Dear, you taste this as well.

You will really queue up.

It's really really good.

Let's taste the pork.

It's so delicious.

So good.

You know that this is one of the smoothest Ramen.

The flavor is so smooth.

And you see the egg, it's perfectly cooked.

Divine.

So there, we are about to pay.

How much is our bill?

We ordered 5 Ramen, 3 Gyoza, 2 Fried Rice, drinks.

8,340 Yen.

Did you enjoy your experience?

Thank you.

So there.

So we are done and as you can see, there's still a long queue.

There's a long queue.

So would I come back?

Yes, I will come back but we've discovered that while it's afternoon.

So now, it's almost 4.30 pm.

Almost 5 pm, there's less queue.

It's still long, the queue is still up to here.

But I would definitely recommend this Ramen experience to all of you.

I have eaten a lot of Ramen in my life.

Even in the Philippines, here in Japan and wherever else.

And I can say that this is one of the most delicious Ramen.

And the most fabulous experience.

Aside from the queue, we saw how efficient this kitchen is.

How friendly the customer service is.

Even if the queue is long, there's still a lot of people.

And this is really the love at first sip of Ramen

because the taste of their soup is different, very natural.

Uniquely Japanese.

This is what I can say that there's no added powder.

It's really the result of slow cooking and rich Japanese cooking techniques.

So visit this Ramen Shigen here in Sapporo, Japan.

Thank you for watching!
