Gankara spicy miso or the house Sapporo miso ramen

The story behind the bowl

Ganko Ittetsu draws on Sapporo ramen, pairing miso-based broth with noodles made for the style. Its small Coolidge Corner shop helped bring a distinctly northern Japanese bowl into Boston's ramen conversation.

Before you go: Choose gankara if you want chile heat, or standard miso for the clearest Sapporo-style introduction.
