WHERE TO EAT The best Miso ramen in the world (according to food experts)

"Miso is one of the more difficult styles to perfect, and I think there are only a handful of good miso ramen shops in Tokyo. This is one of them."

"Our recommendation is the miso ramen. To experience some real Sapporo ramen, this is one place we recommend!"

"Sapporo takes its ramen very seriously and Saimi is oft-voted the best ramen shop in the city (and sometimes the country) – and it's not overrated. You will have to queue, which is annoying, but you will be rewarded with a mind-blowing meal for the same price as a convenience store bentō. Get the miso ramen."

"The flavours tasted about the same across all bowls though I favoured Miso over the rest. Chewy skin stuffed with chives and pork, loved it!"

"The noodles were cooked perfectly, al dente! - even more perfect than the perfect al dente noodles I've tasted before. The broth is miso based and it's the type of ramen broth that's famous in Sapporo."

"The 2013 version of their miso ramen, made with white miso, garlic, and lard, and cooked in a soup crafted from pork, chicken and vegetable stock, is rich but not too strong: a taste that doesn't get old and is well received by all ages."

"Ok, so this miso is really really good. The general consensus with miso is that it needs to have a huge first impact the second you taste that soup. Oyaji delivers."

"While generally not a big fan of miso, I liked how it imparted a sweeter and stronger taste."

"You should try miso ramen in Yoshino!"

"Bonnie had the tonkotsu miso ramen with an egg and pork, which was excellent."
