    Best for

    Menya Saimi stands four minutes from Misono Station as Sapporo's premier miso ramen destination. Chef Masayuki Okumura trained at Sumire for seven years before opening in 2000, refining the style into a lighter, fragrant broth with grated ginger resting on tender roast pork. Springy Morizumi curly noodles slide through the wok-seared miso soup.
