Japanese: ひばり (宇都宮市)
😋Hibari is an interesting 🍜Ramen shop where their specialty is delicious 🐓Chicken Ramen (Tori Soba) which happens to be one of my favorite. ❤
Even if you are familiar with Ramen, chances are you haven’t had ‘chicken’ ramen. less fatty than Tonkotsu and not as salty as Shoyu or Shio. Not only is the Chicken rame absolutely delicious, it is equally nice is that they have a healthy option where you can choose Low-calories noodles and 🍅Tomato ramen❗
Located in central Utsunomiya, it is easy to get to on your way back from Nikko (if you are taking the JR Nikko Line and changing in Utsunomiya)
*Please note: The soup for Chicken ramen contains pork stock.
