Original-style miso ramen
The story behind the bowl
Morito Omiya’s mid-century experiments helped establish miso ramen as a Sapporo specialty. The bowl combines miso-seasoned soup, vegetables and curly noodles in a format that influenced an entire city.
Before you go: Come for culinary history and remember that the pioneer’s bowl is subtler than many later, richer descendants.
