In the highly competitive Sapporo ramen world, "Menya Saimi" is a very popular restaurant with a long line of customers every day, and has been satisfying visitors from local families to tourists with its specialties including "Miso Ramen", which has remained popular since its opening in 2000. The following is an introduction of the commitment that goes into the ramen and the owner's unexpected menu recommendations.

Parking is available up to the third parking lot.

The restaurant is only a 5-minute walk from the Sapporo Municipal Subway Misono Station. It is also convenient to visit by car. The restaurant is located close to Route 36 and the ring road, and there is ample parking. Once inside the restaurant, there is both counter and table seating to accommodate a wide range of customers, from small groups to families.

Miso ramen" is ordered by many who come to the restaurant.

The most popular menu item is the classic Sapporo ramen, "Miso Ramen" (950 yen, tax included). The noodles are a characteristic yellow, medium-thick, frizzy noodles. The noodles have a plump and firm texture and are as delicious as the hot soup.

The secret to their popularity is that the noodles are always served in their optimum state, with a special emphasis on maturity, which amplifies the flavor and firmness of the noodles as they rest.

The soup is a combination of carefully and slowly simmered pork bone soup and a special miso sauce based on white miso. The result is a soup that is rich yet refreshing to drink. It is mind-boggling to know that this particular and delicious soup is prepared from 5:00 a.m. every day early in the morning.

The chashu pork pork, made from Hokkaido pork shoulder loin, has little fat and gives a deep flavor of meat with every bite. The ramen as a whole is characterized by being less lardy and easier to eat than regular Sapporo miso ramen, especially when the ginger on top of the chashu is dissolved in the soup, which changes the flavor to a refreshing one. The "Saimi no Miso Ramen" that can only be enjoyed here is truly complete.

The owner's recommendation: "Spicy soy sauce ramen

The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, including miso, shoyu, shio (salt), spicy miso, and spicy shoyu. If this is your first visit, we recommend the miso ramen, but the owner actually recommends the "spicy soy sauce ramen" (1,000 yen, tax included). The spiciness of the soy sauce broth, which looks thick but has a refreshing taste, is a perfect match, making you want to keep coming back for more.

The first branch of the famous "Sumire" restaurant in Sapporo, "Menya Saimi" has maintained its popularity since its opening. Enjoy to your heart's content a unique and special cup of soup that you won't find anywhere else in Sapporo.
