About this Restaurant

"

Niboshi Chukasoba Ichikawa is a highly decorated ramen shop in Tsukuba, consistently selected as a Ramen Hyakumeiten (2017-2025) and a recipient of The Tabelog Award Bronze. It's revered as a "sacred place" for niboshi ramen lovers, famous for its unique and potent yet balanced niboshi flavor that delivers a clean aftertaste without excessive bitterness. Offering both its signature niboshi soba and a popular salt version, this cash-only establishment with limited counter seating often sees long queues forming even before opening.
