East Bay Express food writer Luke Tsai is reporting a new “fast-casual” ramen establishment coming to Emeryville this fall. Shiba Ramen will be the first food establishment by Jake Freed and Hiroko Nakamura, a husband-wife tandem of former chemists.
The space, described as “prominently located”, has yet to be finalized so we’ll have to begin speculating [UPDATE: Confirmed to be The Emeryville Public Market through Tablehopper.com]. Gourmet Ramen has been a recent foodie obsession that Emeryville has been left out of thus far, although our neighbors in the Golden Gate area will be getting a Noodle Theory in July. Shiba Inu’s are of course a popular breed of Japanese dogs that the couple appear to be fond of (as evidenced by their Instagram account). Follow Shiba on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram for updates.
