    Master Yoshinobu Tora trained for over fifteen years at Sapporo's legendary Sumire before establishing Santora three minutes from Edogawabashi Station Exit 1b. The kitchen woks white and red miso paste at scorching heat with garlic, lard, and ground pork, pouring rich animal broth into the flame. A thick sheet of aromatic lard insulates the scalding soup, finished with tender braised pork shoulder, crunchy bean sprouts, and a dollop of freshly grated raw ginger over firm yellow curly noodles.
