Ramen restaurant • 1-chōme-2-16 Higashisabae, Sabae, Fukui 916-0041, Japan
Located in a quiet residential area of Sabae City, 'Mahoroba Sabae Branch' stands with a modest appearance resembling an old Japanese house, so subtle you might overlook the sign. However, within this tranquil exterior lies a bowl that can impress even the most discerning ramen connoisseurs.
The signature dish 'Foamy White Broth' features a creamy and rich soup. Upon taking a sip, one feels as if they're walking on clouds, with a profound umami spreading simultaneously. The thin noodles pair perfectly with the soup, entwining flavors that bring a moment of bliss.
The chashu pork has a texture like roast beef, akin to prosciutto, with two large slices in the bowl, presenting a surprising level of luxury.
The charm of Mahoroba goes beyond its cuisine. The staff's attentive hospitality warmly welcomes visitors. Whether it's pulling out a chair upon seating or offering cold barley tea during wait times, meticulous care is evident everywhere.
Aside from the foamy white broth, there are options like niboshi (dried sardine) ramen and spicy white broth, offering rich menu variations. Besides, there are side dishes such as grilled chashu rice bowls and TKG (egg-topped rice). For dessert, the light and subtly sweet pudding is the perfect palate cleanser after ramen.
Being a popular venue, it's often crowded especially right after opening. It's advised to visit early.
Mahoroba Sabae Branch offers unimaginable deliciousness and heartfelt service, truly a 'hidden gem.' When visiting Sabae, make sure to stop by. The exquisite ramen and genuine hospitality will enrich your travel memories.
