Dish profile

About this dish

Main ingredients
thin curly noodles, niboshi, mature hen bones, long green onion, garlic, brewed soy sauce, chashu, menma
History and origin
It is said to have begun around Showa 3 (1928), when Zheng Kequan, who had run a ramen stall in Tokyo, opened an eatery in Muikamachi, Hachinohe, had Mr. Chen, whom he brought over from China, make hand-rubbed noodles, and served shina soba in a broth of niboshi, local chicken bones, and pork bones. The Hachinohe Ramen Association was founded in 2002, and this old flavor was revived on the occasion of the opening of Hachinohe Station on the Tohoku Shinkansen.
How it is eaten
Thin curly noodles are placed in a light soy sauce soup fragrant with niboshi and topped with green onion, chashu, and menma. Participating shops serve it in a special bowl.
