"Want to wait in line to eat it?" Why do people line up every day? A thorough introduction to the popular menu at Ramen Shingen, a famous Sapporo miso ramen restaurant
It's no wonder there are long lines every day. The perfection of "Shinshu (rich miso)" has garnered overwhelming support.
The most popular dish is "Shinshu (rich miso)" - 1,050 yen
When talking about Ramen Shingen, one thing that cannot be left out is its signature dish, "Shinshu (rich miso)." The secret soup, which is made by slowly simmering pork bones and seafood for three days to carefully extract only the umami flavor, is rich yet surprisingly mellow. The richness and aroma of the miso sauce combine to make you realize from the first bite that there is a reason to line up.
The noodles that go with this soup are medium-thick, curly yellow noodles that are typical of Sapporo. They have a springy texture and cling well to the soup.
Furthermore, the ramen is topped with melt-in-your-mouth tender pork slices, crisp spring onions, and a subtle yet striking bamboo shoots. None of them overpowers the other, and each plays its part in the bowl, resulting in a high level of perfection that is the very reason why it has been so popular for so many years.
A hidden popular dish you'll want to order with your ramen: fried rice

And one thing you can't forget about Ramen Shingen is the fried rice, which boasts a high order rate alongside the ramen. The rice is fried over high heat, resulting in a fluffy texture and a fragrant finish.
Alternating with the rich miso ramen creates a rhythm of flavor and increases satisfaction. It's also quite filling, so it's recommended to share it.

I love ramen, and have been traveling around Sapporo to try different ramen for 15 years. I travel around every day in search of a delicious bowl of ramen. I want to liven up the ramen scene in Sapporo! With that in mind, I produced the ramen event "Sapporo Ramen Pilgrimage!!" I also participated in the ramen project on tvh's popular program "EXIT's Ayashii TV." Let's enjoy ramen on our ramen tour!
