Shima soba

Shima Soba, located in Shima Kofuji, Itoshima City, Fukuoka Prefecture, is known for its delicate, flavorful soups and carefully crafted homemade noodles, offering a unique non-tonkotsu ramen experience. The signature salt and soy sauce ramen are light yet rich in taste, while popular variations include the savory beef soy ramen and smooth white broth ramen. The homemade noodles complement the soups perfectly and sometimes feature limited-time flat noodles for enthusiasts. Alongside ramen, side dishes like seasoned meat rice and fragrant salt fried rice are well-loved. Ordering is done via a ticket vending machine, and due to its popularity, it’s best to plan for extra time when visiting, making it an ideal stop during an Itoshima drive.
