    Aji no Sanpei is the historic birthplace of Sapporo miso ramen. Founded in 1955 by Morito Omiya, the shop developed miso ramen after reading about Swiss medical researchers praising miso's nutritional value. Located on the 4th floor of Daimaru Fujii Central stationery store, the counter serves the original recipe of pork stock mixed with homemade white miso paste, wok-fried onions, and crunchy beansprouts over curly Nishiyama noodles.
