Aji no sanpei
2 savesRecommendation by Wabisavi
After making my way back from the Hokkaido Village I was going to stop at the Sapporo Brewery before dinner. A good plan, if not for the fact that the ramen joint I had set my eyes on closes at 6:30pm (something unheard of in Kyoto, where ramen is the food of choice of people returning after a night of drinking and clubbing). Feel free to contest my choice, but I decided ramen was more important than beer so I headed straight for Aji no Sanpei. Hidden within a shopping mall, sitting at the end of a bookstore, this little shop with some 10 counter seats is famous with the locals. The originator of the iconic Sapporo Miso Ramen, for 60 years it has been serving up this nutritious fare. My ramen of choice is always tonkotsu, but I decided to give the local flavour a try, and I was not disappointed. After a long day of sightseeing in cold and windy Sapporo, the rich hot soup was a joy to the senses. The thick curly noodles were cooked to perfection. A generous portion of vegetables and minced meat completed the dish. This ramen does not come with chashu, and the owner recommended to not add it as a topping. Chili paste is available for those who want an extra rush of heat. I have no regrets about missing the brewery for this. 🍜 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Hidden within a shopping mall, sitting at the end of a bookstore, small and unassuming with some 10 counter seats, Morito Omiya’s 𝗔𝗷𝗶 𝗡𝗼 𝗦𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗶 is the originator of the iconic 𝗦𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝗼 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝗼 𝗥𝗮𝗺𝗲𝗻. For 70 years, it has been serving up this nutritious fare, the traditional flavour (butter-free and devoid of any fad twists) a hit with the locals, who return again and again to savour the taste they grew up with. After a long day of sightseeing in cold and windy Sapporo, the rich hot soup is a joy to the senses. The secret of this soul-warming broth lies, of course, in its miso paste base. While miso does not create a thick or fatty broth the way 𝘵𝘰𝘯𝘬𝘰𝘵𝘴𝘶 does, it’s extremely rich in umami, a flavour that slowly spreads in your mouth, getting tastier and tastier with every spoonful. The thick curly noodles, specially created together with Nishiyama Seimen to best complement this dish, are cooked to perfection. A generous portion of vegetables and minced meat completes the dish. This ramen does not come with chashu, and the owner recommended to not add it as a topping. Chili paste is available for those who want an extra rush of heat.

Always been a celebration staple for me, my family and friends! Other than the wide range of flavor choices for chicken wings, the restaurant has very approachable staff. One of the best chicken wings, ever! 💖

Celebrated my 22nd birthday here! This was my go-to place for pastas even before the pandemic hit. I know that they’ve gained a lot more traction since malls have opened up, so it’s harder to get seats now. Best to phone ahead and reserve a table! My faves are the Gnocco Fritto con Salumi, Mozzarelline Fritte, Tagliatelle al Ragu, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, 4 Formaggi, Margherita con Bufala, Stracciatella, Pollo al Burro, and their Tiramisu! Whenever I want to feel like a kid again, I go to for the Iced Chocolate Milk, but they have amazing cocktails as well! My go-to’s ar the amaretto sour, negroni, and the aperol spritz! Most of their dishes were really handmade in-store (stays true to the name "A Mano" which means made by hand!) and this is being supervised almost daily by the owner, Amado Fores (you did an amazing job raising him Tita Margarita!!!).
