中華そば いづる
Overview
A renowned niboshi ramen shop representing the Daimon area, selected as one of Tabelog's Top 100 Restaurants in 2018. Their signature Niboshi Soba boasts a refined finish, allowing the rich umami of niboshi to shine through while suppressing any impurities or bitterness. For those seeking a more intense flavor, their Rich Soba offers a powerful bowl made with a chicken bone broth base, simmered with additional niboshi until thick and rich. The 'Aedama Half' (300 yen) is a popular side dish to enjoy after your ramen, offering a different flavor experience with fine noodles mixed with fish powder and diced chashu. The ticket vending machine is located outside the shop, and payment is cash only. As it is located in a narrow alley, it might be difficult to find on your first visit. Information on temporary closures can be found on their official X (formerly Twitter) account (@nibosi_izuru).

濃厚そば
いわゆる東京の濃厚煮干なスープは、マニア向けの煮干のエグニガ仕様で、動物由来の独特なペタつきも感じられる😁
粘度は意外とサラリとしながらもやはりテロンテロンしてる😏
麺は、パツポキ食感の煮干によく使われるタイプ🎶 pic.twitter.com/TkPeLC21cK

煮干しそば
4.5年ぶりに✌️
ニボニボしてそうなルックスのスープは、煮干のエグ味等は皆無な上にすっきりとした旨味と、カエシ？の独特な甘味を味わえる😁
麺は、パツンと食感で、スープ量と比較すると意外と量も多いように思える🎶 pic.twitter.com/eBdjbuJpF7
