It’s not unusual for the broth to run out before closing time. On weekends, a line forms almost as soon as the doors open. Owner Kudo spent 10 years building his career at a Chinese restaurant before opening this shop. He counts many celebrities among his fans, and the shop is packed wall-to-wall with autographed shikishi boards. One of the small pleasures here is watching the noodles fly through the air for an instant as they’re rhythmically drained in a flat bamboo strainer. In this bustling space, the skill and care of the owner and staff stand out.

The Rich Miso Ramen is 900 yen. What stands out most is, without question, the broth — a blend of red and white miso finished with pork bone and chicken paitan, resulting in something refined yet powerful, deeply rich. It's never too heavy, and the smoothness going down is irresistible. The faint hint of thickness comes from a secret ingredient: rice. Topped with a soft-boiled seasoned egg, house-made char siu of pork belly and chicken thigh, shiraga negi (fine julienned scallion) tossed with mizuna greens, and crispy fried julienned potato. A branch recently opened in Sapporo's Tanukikoji, so now you can enjoy this Susukino specialty starting from lunchtime too.
