Miso ramen

The story behind the bowl

Sumire is one of the defining modern Sapporo miso shops. A shimmering layer of lard traps heat over deeply fried miso, garlic, ginger and curly noodles, keeping the bowl almost dangerously hot.

Before you go: Stir before sipping and take the first mouthful carefully—the surface hides intense heat.
