🍜 Menya Saimi

The owner, deeply moved by the flavors of the renowned Sapporo restaurant "Sumire," spent seven years honing his skills before opening "Menya Aimai" in 2000. At Aimai, you can enjoy Sapporo ramen that is based on the taste of Sumire, evolved with a personal touch. The broth is primarily made from pork bones, along with aromatic vegetables, shiitake mushrooms, and kombu. The broth is carefully simmered starting at 5 AM each morning, resulting in a clear and refined soup. Its rich and aromatic flavor, while refreshing and not greasy, has garnered high praise from customers and is the restaurant's proudest feature. To complement the rich and aromatic broth, medium-thick curly noodles are used. This choice allows for a harmonious flavor that matches the broth's intensity. Additionally, high-quality golden ginger from Kochi Prefecture, known for its spicy and fragrant qualities, enhances the overall taste. The chashu pork is also lightly grilled before serving to increase its aroma; the attention to detail in the toppings is another hallmark of this restaurant.

Sapporo ramen meticulously crafted by a chef who trained at the famous Sapporo restaurant "Junren." Preparation begins at 5 AM, using a rich pork bone broth that delivers a deep, savory flavor and a refreshing aftertaste. Even the noodles and toppings are carefully selected to perfectly complement the ramen.
