3. Fire and sake ramen
Don’t underestimate the humble bowl of ramen. At Shin-Sapporo Ramen, you’ll find unusual ramens like the fire and sake ramen.
The former, a creamy and rich pork broth ramen, goes up in flames after boiling hot garlic oil is poured on it — a visual spectacular. The sake ramen, on the other hand, is a vinegar-based dish fragrant with the subtle aroma of sake.

3. A fairly true story about a princess
The creators of “Peter Pan, The Never Ending Story” are back with another fairy tale musical — but with a twist. “Cinderella, A Fairly True Story” focuses on Cinderella’s terrible circumstances as told by a reporter. However, as the reporter recounts to the audience Cinderella’s life and ambitions, he rejects any magical interventions and encourages Cinderella to pave her own path.
