“Sakura Ibuki” is a ramen shop with its main location near Hirota Shrine, and this “Imazu Ekimae” location opened in January last year.
Nishi2 also covered the opening in an article, but we hadn’t actually visited the shop yet, so this time we stopped by the newly opened “Imazu Ekimae” location and tried their signature tonkotsu ramen.

Menya “Sakura Ibuki Imazu Ekimae” Food
This is the “Chashu Tonkotsu Ramen” (1,050 yen).
Here’s another shot from a different angle.
The soup is, of course, tonkotsu, but it was a very pure tonkotsu broth without much extra added beyond the pork bones.
It’s definitely a tonkotsu soup for serious tonkotsu fans.
The noodles are thin and straight, so you can imagine something along the lines of Hakata-style ramen.
The chashu is made with pork belly, and it was delicious, with the sweet richness of pork fat coming through.
The shop’s logo is printed on the nori, so they’ve clearly thought about making it Instagram-worthy too.
By the way, the red seasoning served on the side seemed to be something like doubanjiang.
On the counter, there are toppings like pickled red ginger and takana, so you can enjoy changing up the flavor to your liking.

Since the shop uses a meal ticket system, the ticket vending machine also serves as the menu board.
Here it is.
There were also a few menu boards outside and inside the shop.
It looks like they also have good-value sets during lunchtime.
