He is Mr. Muranaka, the founder of the ramen shop.
Actually, Sumire was established in 1989, and it doesn’t have a long history as a famous ramen shop compared with competitors in Hokkaido.
Sumire has been making a great contribution toward ramen culture in Hokkaido.
It’s because chefs who learned the essence of Sapporo miso ramen in Sumire graduated from the shop and had their own ramen shops, many of which are becoming popular in Hokkaido.
They still have been making every effort enthusiastically to improve their ramen, which results in the bustling market of Sapporo ramen.
In this way, Sumire can be said the best shop of Sapporo miso ramen!
