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!

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 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Love love love the dipping sauce ramen. The Yuzu aftertaste is yumz! The pork is nicely marinated. Not too salty. The spicy ramen was a little too oily to our liking but it still have a yuzu aftertaste which is interesting! The fried gyoza goes well with the sauce! Careful when biting into it! It's hot and the meat juice might drip out. For me, I'll probably want to try the yuzu beer or the yuzu limeade the next time. Service is good! The staff are respectful and attentive when needed. You get to eat in peace and only disturbed when necessary. What's not to like about that! Atmosphere was ok.

I normally only eat miso ramen but this place makes an awesome Yuzu Shoyu Ramen and Crispy Gyoza. Coming again soon! Don't forget to add a draft beer too!

Located in Setsu Hotel. The surrounding restaurants were mostly closed. Opposite is Lawson and a beautiful view of Mt Yotei. Ramen was not bad but I did not like the fatty pork. Service was great.

Afuri Ramen+Dumpling is always a good choice in Niseko, even take a taxi from Park Hyatt. And very nice location with warm hospitality. I really like here.

The food was really delicious, and the service was excellent. Whenever my cup was empty, the waitress would refill it automatically without me having to ask. The staff were very kind and attentive. Service was also fast—my order arrived quickly after I placed it.

Amazing food with even more amazing service! Came here with my parents for a quick afternoon snack and we were treated with delicious noodles and we LOVED every bite of it (we got yuzu shio and yuzukara-tsuyu, recommended by the server!). The servers were very attentive and delivered excellent service as well. Highly recommend!
