Pure Nibo (煮干/dried sardine) Broth at Hihamatano 🐟🌟
From Kameari, I walked to Ayase for my health and headed to this famous Niboshi Ramen shop in Ayase, run by an owner who admires Dragon Ash. I’ve probably eaten here 20 times, including limited-time specials. It’s one of the shops I’ve visited the most, aside from those near my home or workplace. Lately, I always end up ordering the Salt Niboshi Soba, to put it simply, because I love it. I was the first customer after the slightly delayed 6:30 PM opening. The line is a bit shorter in the evenings, so that might be a good time to go. I was glad that my water in a metal tumbler didn’t get cold. (Well, it’s winter, so it wouldn’t matter if it was lukewarm.) Anyway, here’s the dish I ordered. Oh, the design of the bowl has changed. I guess it’s been a while since I’ve been here. The soup has a slightly milder Niboshi flavor, but it still has a distinct character, and the combination with the aroma of Shiso (Japanese basil) is fantastic. I don’t know why this isn’t more popular, but if you’re craving it, just come to Ayase. The noodles are thin and straight, with a bit of a soft texture. It’s designed for a second helping of noodles (Wae-dama), so the portion is small, which is good for those who like to try different ramen shops or who don’t eat much. The thick-sliced pork melts in your mouth. The seared Chashu (roast pork) has a more pronounced meaty flavor compared to the rare Chashu they served before. The balance with the refreshing greens and onions is also excellent. This is a dish that satisfies everyone, from ramen enthusiasts to those who just want to try something different. ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー An account that will satisfy your craving for delicious ramen tomorrow.
