Ramen Jiro Sapporo

Ramen Jiro Sapporo serves shoyu ramen near the Botanical Garden of Hokkaido University in Sapporo. The bowl uses thick noodles in a heavy pork and soy sauce broth, topped with bean sprouts and additional garlic and vegetable toppings. Customers buy a meal ticket from a cash machine, wait at a 14-seat counter, and photography is not allowed except for the food. The broth is salty and oily, and the ordering rules are complicated, so a first visit is easy to find confusing.
