Sapporo-ya is a few minutes’ walk from Tokyo Station. The basement shop is popular with area businessmen. While there is a full menu offering many types of ramen, a visit here is for the hiyashi chuuka goma dare. This is an extra-large bowl of cold noodles served with an umami-rich sesame dressing. Colorful toppings include cucumbers, tomatoes, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots and more. This is the perfect dish on a visit to Japan in the hot and humid summer.
