Sapporo Miso Ramen & Soup Curry — A Warm Meal in the City of Snow
Sapporo is the birthplace of miso ramen and soup curry. Popular ramen shops typically have wait times of 30 minutes to an hour around lunchtime, so aim to arrive right after they open. The seafood rice bowls at Nijo Market are freshest in the morning, and the Susakino area stays open late, making it a great second stop for dinner. Staying warm is essential in winter.
