Miso Ramen
When it comes to Hokkaido cuisine, miso ramen definitely is on the must-try list. But the question is, which ramen restaurant is really worth visiting?
“Their broth is taken from Hokkaido brand pork with roasted miso on top, which makes it clear and appetizing. If you’re not careful, you might get addicted to that sweet broth,” recommends one Sapporo taxi driver with over 40 years of experience. Sora (https://twitter.com/ramensora2008) is a highly recommended ramen chain among locals. You can find Sora shops at the Sapporo Ramen Republic near Sapporo station and at the New Chitose Airport.
