Nakamurabashi: Niboshi Ramen... highly ranked fish broth but not sure what the attraction is... noodles were like buckwheat noodles.

There is always some kind of line at Niboshi... so decided to give it a go.

People were buying tickets in advance then returning to the line outside.

Went with the Niboshi Ramen with seasoned boiled egg... The row below is for "Oomori" or larger portion of noodles.

Back in line.

Little fish in this sauce... vinegar?

Here we go!  Flavor was very light and not overbearingly fishy... I thought it was quite boring.

Meat had a texture like roast beef...

Overall ho-hum... won't be back.

Restaurant: Niboshi

This venue is awesome... you can bring your own alcohol from the local convenient store!

Awesome night on a budget.
