Shiba is a 400-square-foot shop in the Emeryville Market run by two chemists with doctorates from Harvard, husband and wife Jake Freed and Hiroko Nakamura. Nakamura not only grew up in Japan, but she also studied at the Tokyo Ramen Academy. Modeled on ramen shops in Japan, Shiba serves bowls that are inexpensive, quick and delicious. There are three or four different kinds of ramen each day, including ramen with no soup — in the form of cold ramen salad or hot dry ramen.
