Inheriting the Legacy of Sapporo's Famed "Sumire" - The Secret to "Ookami Soup's" Unique Miso Ramen
In Sapporo's Nakajima Park area, there's a legendary restaurant that every miso ramen lover must visit at least once. Its name is "Miso Ramen Senmonten Ookami Soup." The menu is refreshingly simple: only "Miso Ramen." The owner, who trained at the famous Sapporo ramen shop "Sumire," continues to captivate people with a special bowl that, while preserving tradition, has undergone its own unique evolution.
Only Miso Ramen on the Menu! What's the Secret to its Unique Thickness?
"Miso Ramen" 1,100 yen (tax included)
Owner Washimi, who trained at the famous Sapporo ramen shop "Sumire," serves a bowl that adds originality and evolution to the traditional taste of miso ramen he learned from his experience. Take a sip of the piping hot soup, made by combining a carefully simmered broth with a special miso sauce, and you'll taste the rich, mellow flavor of miso spreading through its unique, thick consistency.
The deliciousness of the rich and mellow soup
The secret to this one-of-a-kind thickness is the "Kita-akari" potatoes hidden at the bottom of the bowl. The potatoes give the soup a natural sweetness, richness, and a distinctive thickness, creating a truly unique flavor.
Custom-Made Noodles by "Nishiyama Seimen"
Paired with this rich soup are medium-thick wavy noodles custom-made for Ookami Soup by the long-established Sapporo ramen noodle maker "Nishiyama Seimen." The springy and chewy texture of the noodles, a hallmark of Sapporo ramen, is a perfect match for the thick soup.
Cabbage Accent Enhances the Deliciousness
Another essential element is the crunchy cabbage and bean sprouts! The cabbage, enjoyed between bites of the rich miso flavor, refreshes your palate and allows you to savor the next bite as if it were the first.
Located a 5-Minute Walk from Nakajima-Koen Subway Station
The shop is a 5-minute walk from Nakajima-Koen Station on the Sapporo Municipal Subway Namboku Line. It's close to the Susukino and Nakajima Park areas, making it a convenient stop during your sightseeing. This is a bowl that pays homage to the tradition of Sumire while forging its own unique path. Be sure to experience this flavor, an essential part of any conversation about Sapporo miso ramen.
