Aji-no-Sapporo Onishi

Aji no Sapporo Onishi is a go-to spot to try Aomori’s B-grade gourmet specialty, "Miso Curry Milk Ramen." Several restaurants in Aomori serve miso curry milk ramen, but the original pioneer was "Aji no Sapporo," which opened in 1968. The dish first appeared in 1975 as a secret off-menu item and became an official menu item in 1978. Aji no Sapporo Onishi is a branch shop that was spun off from the original "Aji no Sapporo." This local favorite delivers an authentic Sapporo-style ramen experience where rich miso, spicy curry, and mellow milk blend into one unforgettable bowl that has long captivated Aomori residents. Beyond miso curry milk ramen, the menu also includes unusual choices such as natto ramen and ume (plum) ramen, making it fun to try something new. Nearby, there are other Tsugaru ramen shops such as "Kudo Ramen," known for a soy sauce broth made from grilled dried sardines, chicken bones, and pork bones, and "Nagao Chuka Soba Aomori Ekimae," prized for a deeply flavored soup crafted from a blend of niboshi.
