Chuka Soba Ibuki

WHY IT'S A MESHI MAP PICK
Locals keep coming back. That is the real proof.
地元の人が、通い続ける。それが何よりの証明。
Using nothing but hand-selected iriko (dried sardines) from Ibuki Island in the Seto Inland Sea, with noodles freshly made every morning, this uncompromisingly dedicated shop has earned a place on Tabelog's Top 100 Ramen list for nine consecutive years — all while operating just four days a week.
Tucked into the Tenchu-Nakazakicho shopping street, a bowl here feels like a rare privilege: when the day's batch runs out, the doors close.
