Recommended bowl: Sapporo Disciple

Master Nakagawa-san was traveling in Sapporo, Hokkaido when he happened to eat at the legendary miso ramen shop Saimi. He was so moved by the experience that he quit his job and began working at Saimi, where he trained for two years. The name 'Gen,' in fact, was given to him by the wife of Saimi's master. The noodles at Gen are supplied by Morizumi Seimen, same as Saimai. The soup is made using pork, chicken and vegetables. In an area packed with tonkotsu shops, this here is a gem, serving top level Sapporo-style miso.
