Iconic Sapporo miso ramen shop with a rich, lard-topped broth that stays piping hot.
Sapporo Sumire is an iconic miso ramen institution that helped define Sapporo's signature ramen style. Established in 1964, the restaurant is famous for its rich, lard-topped miso broth that stays piping hot until the last sip. The thick, curly noodles are perfectly suited to capture the robust broth, and the generous helping of stir-fried vegetables adds sweetness and texture.

Tips for Visitors
Open from 11:00 to 15:00 and 16:00 to 19:00. Closed on some weekdays (check ahead). Expect 20-40 minute waits. The lard layer keeps the broth extremely hot—be careful with your first sip.
