Keyaki Susukino Main Shop

Miso ramen staggers near the top of must-try foods in Sapporo, Hokkaido. After looking high and low, a trust standout to keep an eye on is Keyaki Susukino Main Store, a long-standing ramen shop beloved by locals from its corner in Sapporo’s famous Susukino district.

Step inside to find intimate counter seating and the full swing of age-old, ramen-shop vibes inside.

The menu focuses exclusively on miso ramen. Their signature bowl features a rich, flavorful broth made by slowly simmering pork bones, chicken, vegetables, and shiitake mushrooms, then blending in three types of miso. This creates a deep, savory soup that epitomizes traditional Sapporo miso ramen. The medium-thick curly noodles cling beautifully to the broth, while toppings like shredded leeks, cabbage, carrots, and wood ear mushrooms add color and texture.

You can also customize your ramen with add-ons like garlic, a soft-boiled egg stamped with the shop’s logo, and thick slices of chashu pork. Create your perfect bowl and enjoy this timeless Sapporo flavor.
