Sapporo: Ramen-Making Class
Learn how to make ramen from scratch in Sapporo. Knead the dough, cut the noodles, and enjoy your handmade ramen with a delicious broth.
The defining bowl of Sapporo: rich red-miso broth, alkaline curly noodles, ground pork, bean sprouts, butter and sweet corn, sealed under a heat-stable lard cap.
Founder Morito Omiya created Sapporo miso ramen at Aji no Sanpei in 1955, blending three types of miso into a thick pork-bone broth that locals carried home through Sapporo's winters. The bowl spread first through Ramen Yokocho, the 1951-founded alley just south of Susukino, then nationally; today nearly every prefecture's ramen kitchens serve a Sapporo miso variant. Aji no Sanpei still pours the original recipe from a counter inside Daimaru Fujii Central on Minami 1-jo Nishi 3.
