What kind of place?
Fake reviews removedNiboshi ramen specialty shop founded in 2014 in Tajima, southern Hofu City (Nidaime Marunibo Hofu Honten). Committed exclusively to salt-based broth from whole dried sardines, offering only 3 items. Lunch only, closes when sold out. 3 locations: Hofu, Shunan, Yuda Onsen.
'The whole-dried-sardine broth is clear with no off-notes—rare to find such depth in a salt ramen.' 'Counter only, 11 seats. Always sells out—go early.' 'Didn't expect to find ramen of this quality in Hofu.'
