麺屋 丈六 (Joroku in Osaka)
Joroku’s super-central location (minutes from Namba Station, in a very lively part of town) means convenience. Not a particular criteria for a good bowl, but it’s great to have a lot of before and after options. And while Joroku is on a rather shady street, more family-friendly fun isn’t far away. The standard bowl is 高井田系 – takaida-style. It’s an Osaka thing, and it is wonderful. Deep, dark tamari shoyu is used. Shoyu 101 teaches us that tamari doesn’t have the wheat added, resulting in a much heavier taste. If you’ve ever been served a special shoyu with sashimi, it was probably tamari.
I'm currently breaking down the Top 100 #hyakumeiten #百名店 shops from around Japan. This one is 13/100 on the Osaka list.
