We study ergodicity breaking in the clean Bose-Hubbard chain for small hopping strength. We see the clear existence of a non-ergodic regime by means of indicators as the half-chain entanglement entropy of the eigenstates, the average level spacing ratio and the dynamics of the Peres Loschmidt echo. We find that this ergodicity breaking falls out the many-body localization paradigm because the average half-chain entanglement entropy of the eigenstates obeys volume law. This ergodicity breaking appears unrelated to the spectrum being organized in quasidegenerate multiplets at small hopping and finite system sizes, so in principle it can survive also for larger system sizes. We find that some imbalance oscillations in time which could mark the existence of a glassy behaviour in space are well described by the dynamics of a single symmetry-breaking doublet and well captured by a perturbative effective XXZ model. We show that the amplitude of these oscillations vanishes in the large-size limit.
