Chukasoba Nishino

A second branch of the famous Ramen Koike, Chukasoba is similar to its sister restaurant in terms of its concept, but surprisingly different when it comes to their bowls of ramen. Chukasoba offers fish-based broth for their ramen, light yet redolent with umami. Their store is named after a classic bowl of ramen, and while there are very few ingredients in this ramen, each one of them is meticulously processed to complement one another and bring out the best combination of flavors. For adventurous ramen lovers, the sansho chuka soba is the way to go. Sansho is a Japanese pepper that's usually used for unagi and other fish, which is why it blends so perfectly with their fish-based broth, to add a spicy kick.
