Afuri

My family had dinner at Afuri recently when we stayed at niseko Setsu and the food was great. We tried the Yuzu Shio ramen, Yuzu Shoyu ramen, Tsukemen, winged gyoza and fried chicken. The ramen was light and the texture of the ramen was so special. The Tsukemen had great flavour and also the unique noodles. The gyoza and fried chicken were also tasty. The staff was all friendly. A great food option for food when in Niseko.

Great ramen spot for a quick and satisfying meal. The ramen was flavourful and perfect for the cold weather, and the shop had a relaxed, comfortable vibe. The yuzu shio ramen was light yet rich in flavour, and the dumplings were also really good — definitely worth trying. Naoto took great care of us, and his recommendations were spot on. Would happily come back when I’m in the area.

The food was amazing, again chosen by the wife so It wouldn’t go wrong. My palettes are easily satisfied but I am literally impressed and surprised by their standard of ramen and appetiser. The soup base was rich and the texture of the noodles was slightly firm which suits my usual choice. The chashu was charred nicely (Aburi they call it), so there’s that additional Umami to the soup. If you like a bit of kick, you can order the Yuzu Ratan which is the spicier choice. Thankful to have experienced this ramen store in the heart of Niseko. Truly a great ezperience! Definitely will come here again during Winter Season and I bet it’ll be 10x better having ramen in the cold 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Our family went here in late August. It was early evening so we just walked in got seated right away. I had the shio yuzu ramen and three of us shared the buta gyoza and tori karaage. I also ordered the yuzu limeade drink. Although everything was tasty it was a little too much yuzu for me. I thought I loved yuzu but maybe not that much.

Delicious ramen, rice bowl and dumplings! Located just across the Lawson as part of the hotel. Menu in English and our waiter spoke English! Will come back again to try other items.

The ramen is excellent! I ordered the Shio ramen and my husband ordered the spicy ratan ramen. Both were absolutely divine. The yuzu addition makes the broth refreshing and light (in comparison to other ramens which can be quite heavy). Our server was so delightful, he spent time getting to know us and sharing things about the area. We went at 12pm on a Saturday with no line (although autumn is shoulder season).

My husband and I enjoyed a really delicious meal at Afuri. I had a beautiful salad and the Vegan Soy Milk Tantan ramen which was absolutely fantastic: really comforting, creamy and satisfying. Great value and such friendly, professional and welcoming service. Many thanks Afuri!

Summertime in Niseko is quiet and not as many options as winter. We usually avoid restaurants associated with hotels, in search of something more local and authentic and off the beaten path. But with limited options on a midweek summer night we wandered into Afuri and we are so glad we did! Dai welcomed us with a broad beautiful smile even though we were late stragglers in for dinner. And the ramen was delicious. Authentic, delicate, nuanced, and so flavorful! We especially loved the Yuzu Ramen with cold dipping sauce. Incredible. Yuzu limeade and gyoza were also wonderful. This did not feel like some impersonal cookie cutter hotel restaurant. The food felt intentional and authentic - the service was excellent - and we could taste and feel the skill and technique in the food. Best char-su I’ve ever had honestly! Wonderful wonderful option in Niseko. Oishikatta! Jozu! Yuko Yatta!
