What ramen can you try?
The original Japanese guide highlights salt and soy sauce ramen as examples of what visitors can look for at Akaboshi.
This makes the shop an option for travellers who want to try Sapporo ramen beyond the city’s famous miso style. Exact dishes, ingredients, prices and availability can change, so consult the current menu.
Where is the shop?
The restaurant is located at Minami 3-jo Nishi 7-chome 7, in the 7-chome section of Tanukikoji Shopping Street.
Tanukikoji is a popular shopping area in central Sapporo. The different numbered sections extend across several city blocks, so make sure you head specifically to 7-chome rather than stopping at an earlier section.
How to get there
The Japanese source identifies Odori and Tanukikoji as the nearby areas. Visitors exploring central Sapporo can walk toward Tanukikoji 7-chome from the Odori district.

A compact counter-seat restaurant
The Japanese guide lists nine seats, all at the counter. This suggests a compact dining space rather than a large group-oriented restaurant.
Seating arrangements can change. If you are travelling with a large party, be prepared to adjust your plans or wait.
Opening hours and last order
The source lists opening hours of 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., with a 10:45 p.m. last order. It also lists no regular closing day, while warning that schedules may change.
Do not assume that the restaurant is open every day based solely on an older listing. Check up-to-date information before a special visit.
Combining ramen with shopping
Akaboshi’s location makes it convenient to combine a meal with browsing Tanukikoji or exploring the nearby Odori district.
For a flexible outing, walk through the shopping street, stop for ramen when the shop is open and continue toward other central attractions.
