Sapporo-Style Ramen Restaurant Launching Several Shops in North County | Eater San Diego

"Conveying the famous Sapporo-style miso ramen to San Marcos, I found Ramen Mik centers its menu on the region's signature miso ramen—a style thought to have first appeared in Sapporo's original 'ramen alley' in the 1950s. Veteran restaurateur Noriyuki “Nori” Mori, whose uncle owned a ramen store in Japan, says the broth is made from a mix of pork, chicken and beef bones with vegetables, flavored with imported miso and tare, and the noodles are a variety made especially for miso ramen by Sapporo’s Nishiyama Seimen Co., which has been in business for over 50 years. Besides miso ramen, the menu includes shoyu ramen, a Jidori-chicken version, a meatless option using a vegan chicken from Japan, Japanese curry, fried rice, and appetizers such as takoyaki, homemade pork gyoza, fried squid, and chicken karaage. I was also told another location is coming to 1028 W Valley Pkwy in Escondido this fall, and Mori plans to open at least four or five restaurants in the San Diego area over the next few years." - Candice Woo
