Ebisoba Ichigen Sohonten
えびそば一幻 総本店
A highly popular Sapporo ramen shop famous for its rich shrimp broth, offering customizable flavors, broth thickness, and noodle width, open until late night.
This shop is famous for its flavorful shrimp broth. Diners first choose their flavor base (shrimp salt, shrimp soy sauce, or shrimp miso), followed by the broth concentration: "Sonomama" (pure, intense shrimp flavor), "Hodohodo" (shrimp blended with pork bone broth), or "Ajiwai" (richer pork bone influence). Noodle thickness can also be selected. At the end of the meal, you can drop a shrimp rice ball into the remaining soup to make shrimp zosui (rice soup), though the rice balls sometimes sell out. The shop has only about 16 counter seats, with wait times of 20–30 minutes on weekday afternoons and 40–60 minutes on weekends, though it is less crowded after 14:00. Ramen is about 1,100 JPY. A 5-minute walk from the Higashi-Honganji-Mae Streetcar Station.
