Ganso Sapporo Ramen Yokocho

Where Sapporo's Ramen Culture Began and Lives On in Susukino

A famous ramen alley lined with distinctive shops in a narrow lane, offering a chance to experience a rich culinary tradition in the heart of Susukino.


Steam and tempting aromas fill the alley as visitors arrive in search of a bowl to savor. Each shop features its own distinct broth and noodles, offering a diverse range of flavors to enjoy.


The history dates back to 1951, with the opening of "Koraku Ramen Meitengai" next to the Sapporo Toho Koraku movie theater in Minami 5-jo Nishi 3-chome. It began as a small shopping street with eight shops, but the popularity of one shop, Rairaiken, prompted neighboring businesses to begin specializing in ramen. The area gradually developed into a gathering place for ramen shops, and Sapporo's ramen culture began to take shape.


Though it closed in 1969 due to road expansion work, the alley reopened at its current location in 1971. For over 70 years since its beginnings, it has remained a beloved symbol of Sapporo's ramen culture. Today, long-established shops preserving traditional flavors stand alongside those pursuing new tastes, welcoming visitors with a diverse array of bowls. Be sure to visit and savor a bowl that carries on this long culinary history.
