The Story Behind It

The Tale of Miso Chicken Ramen Soup

Story updated

Miso ramen is specifically credited to Sapporo, Hokkaido, where it was developed in the 1950s by blending fermented miso paste into ramen broth to suit the region's cold climate. It remains one of Japan's most distinct regional ramen styles.
