Ramen originates from Chinese noodles that came from China to Japan in the early 1900s. The taste has been improved to the taste of Japanese people, and it is now a daily Japanese food. Soy sauce-flavored soup using chicken gala was common for ramen, but Sapporo's "Aji no Sanpei" developed the first unique ramen using Japanese miso. It became popular in the 1960s and became famous as Sapporo Miso Ramen. Nowadays, various ramen are being developed all over Japan, but the beginning of their diversification is Sapporo Miso Ramen.
The characteristic of Sapporo Ramen is the miso-flavored soup made from pork bones, and the noodles are thick and crispy. In addition to char siu and boiled eggs, add Hokkaido's specialty corn and butter. There is also a store that adds seafood luxuriously.
Winter in Sapporo is cold and long. For this reason, hot ramen warms the body and is a favorite of both locals and tourists. Miso soup is symbolic of Sapporo ramen, but soy sauce and salt flavors are also popular. In Susukino, the entertainment district of Sapporo, there are two ramen side streets where multiple ramen shops are gathered, and there is a ramen republic at Sapporo station, which is crowded with tourists.
On the other hand, there are many popular shops in central Sapporo, which are preferred by locals. It is always full from opening to closing. To eat delicious Sapporo ramen, you need patience to wait in line for a long time.
