Ramen restaurant • 41-3 Inuimachi, Hakusan, Ishikawa 924-0803, Japan
Located on a quiet street in Hakusan City, "Chuka Soba Hibiki" is a hidden gem among ramen enthusiasts. Since its opening in 2010, it has pursued unique flavors, and since moving to its current location in 2016, its popularity knows no bounds.
The signature dish, "Thick Niboshi Ramen," is the epitome of craftsmanship. With a base of rich niboshi broth, expertly blended with the local pride Kanazawa Ono soy sauce and Noto fish sauce "Ishiru," the flavor is further deepened with chicken and pork bone richness.
Surprisingly, despite its richness, the aftertaste remains refreshing. This miracle is born from the shop owner's insistence on a higher ratio of chicken bones.
Hibiki's noodles are carefully chosen to complement the dishes. The classic "Thick Niboshi Ramen" features custom-made thick noodles with a chewy texture, perfectly entwining with the soup. On the other hand, the limited menu item "Noto Salt Soba" uses thin noodles to match its refreshing taste. With a noodle amount of 170g, it's more than typical ramen, providing plenty of satisfaction.
Hibiki's charm lies in its use of local ingredients. Kanazawa's soy sauce, Noto's salt, and fish sauce are all part of the rich culinary culture of Ishikawa, concentrated in each bowl of ramen. This is truly a taste journey through Ishikawa.
Parking available, making it convenient for car access.
"Chuka Soba Hibiki" is not just a ramen shop. It is a flavorful masterpiece where Ishikawa's culinary culture and craftsmanship merge. It's a must-visit for niboshi lovers and those seeking new taste adventures. When visiting Ishikawa, relish the exquisite bowl at this hidden gem.
