中華そば うえまち (Uemachi in Osaka)
A half-hour before opening, there were five people in line. The lure of homemade noodles and a light, preservative-free broth perhaps. I went with the 中華そば, chukasoba, the standard bowl. The other option that looked appealing was the 和え麺, aemen, an all-dashi soup that must be more like a buckwheat soba broth. This bowl, though still on the current Best 100 Hyakumeiten, was on the old school all-Japan Top 50 from back in the day.
I'm currently breaking down the Top 100 #hyakumeiten #百名店 shops from around Japan. This one is 9/100 on the Osaka list.
