Garyumen Makotoya
A ramen shop in Kitahiroshima listed in the Michelin Guide Hokkaido 2017 edition. Open since March 2011. Though a small restaurant run solo by a female owner, her house-style 'Garyu Miso' has passionate local fans. The harmony of yellow wavy noodles in Sapporo ramen style and punchy miso soup is exceptional. The fried rice is also praised as Michelin-level quality. 4-minute walk from JR Kitahiroshima Station East Exit. Tabelog 3.37 (161 reviews).
Many reviews saying 'the Michelin listing is well-deserved', 'consistently high quality for a one-woman operation', 'the fried rice is abnormally delicious', 'definitely coming back'. The Tabelog score of 3.37 may appear low but all individual reviews are specific and enthusiastic.
