Recommended bowl: Aomori niboshi

Well known Aomori shop serving the signature local style shoyu ramen with niboshi (dried sardines) soup. Master Nagao-san runs five shops in Aomori, and this is his flagship located not far from the center of the city. There are two types of soup available: the light (assari) or the rich (koku). The light soup is a clear broth made with just niboshi, water and nothing else. The thicker bowl is a cloudy soup made from niboshi with a combination of chicken and pork. A well known shop far and wide across the lands.
