Tonjinchi

The ramen restaurant Tonjinchi can be found in the quiet city of Himi in Toyama Prefecture. While it is a bit of a distance away, the restaurant's Bib Gourmand status has made ramen enthusiasts go out of their way to try Tonjinchi's ramen for themselves. Said to provide an excellent dining experience at a reasonable price, Tonjinchi’s famous house specialty is the himi niboshi ramen. The soup of this ramen bowl is made out of dried sardines, and the broth is extremely mild and refreshing. Unlike the standard way of serving ramen where the toppings are placed on top of the noodles, Tonjinchi serves their toppings on the side so customers can enjoy the purest form of the broth as well as customize the flavors to their own preference. The toppings include chashu pork, stewed egg, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and sliced onions. Tonjinchi is highly recommended by locals and foreigners alike. Its pricings definitely won't break the bank either, so there's really no reason to not go.
