    Best for

    Founded by master chef Hiroaki Mori, Menya Nanabei revolutionized the Sapporo noodle landscape by replacing typical heavy pork lard with clean, golden domestic free-range chicken stock. Simmered for hours with premium Hokkaido miso, the soup balances rich aromatic depth with a gentle, savory finish, paired with smooth yellow thin-wavy noodles.
