Nodoguro shio soba

The story behind the bowl

Uguisu turns nodoguro—blackthroat seaperch, one of Hokuriku's prized fish—into an aromatic salt-broth bowl. It is among the most region-specific ramen experiences within walking distance of central Kanazawa.

Before you go: Pair it with Omicho Market or Katamachi and confirm that the nodoguro bowl is available before queuing.
