Ajino Sapporo Onishi

A popular shop that opened in 1991 as an offshoot of Ajino Sapporo, a ramen restaurant once located in Aomori. Its Miso Curry Milk Ramen, long loved by locals as an Aomori soul food, originally came from the main Ajino Sapporo shop. It is said to have been created in the 1970s at a customer's request and was later added to the regular menu after first being treated as a secret item.

At Ajino Sapporo Onishi, the owner, who once worked at the original shop, faithfully recreates that traditional flavor. Built on a pork bone and chicken stock soup base, the ramen combines house-made miso paste using white miso from Hokkaido, curry powder, and milk from Aomori Prefecture. The spicy curry, rich miso and butter, and mellow milk come together in exquisite balance. It's a dish you'll want to come back for after just one bowl.

The menu also includes standard options such as miso, soy sauce, and salt ramen, along with more unusual choices like natto ramen and plum ramen. The Spicy Green Onion Miso Ramen, limited to 20 servings per day, is also recommended.
