彩色ラーメン きんせい 高槻駅前店 (Kinsei in Takatsuki, Osaka)
The Takatsuki branch of Kinsei has replaced the now-closed Tonda branch as the head of the Kinsei Group. This group has four shops under the Kinsei moniker, five under Nakamura Shoten (中村商店), and one Jiro-style shop called KinJiro (麺屋 きん次郎). They are... More

The Takatsuki branch of Kinsei has replaced the now-closed Tonda branch as the head of the Kinsei Group. This group has four shops under the Kinsei moniker, five under Nakamura Shoten (中村商店), and one Jiro-style shop called KinJiro (麺屋 きん次郎). They are known for their luxurious shoyu (極みの醤油) and kodawari shio (こだわりの塩).

The standard tsukemen soup takes around five days to make. This is some serious soup. If you spend a day ramen hunting in Osaka, you can opt for a small serving of noodles, if 150 grams is small for you. For reference, normal ramen is often 120 grams. The large comes in at 300... More

The standard tsukemen soup takes around five days to make. This is some serious soup. If you spend a day ramen hunting in Osaka, you can opt for a small serving of noodles, if 150 grams is small for you. For reference, normal ramen is often 120 grams. The large comes in at 300 grams for you hungry folk out there. The homemade noodles are excellent.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 大阪 麺哲 at Osaka Mentetsu (大阪麺哲)
大阪麺哲 (Mentetsu in Osaka)
Ramen topped with grated Japanese yam and a raw egg. This is ネバネバ food. Neba-neba means slimy, and they love it in Japan. I’m not a fan of about half the neba-neba stuff out there (natto, okra, nameko), but Japanese yam blends perfectly with soup. A great match.

麺屋 八海山 (Hakkaisan in Osaka)
Menya Hakkaisan is a highly-ranked shop in the northeast corner of Osaka, practically on the border of Kyoto. The shop’s ramen features homemade noodles with a blend of whole grain, domestic ingredients, and a no added MSG broth. This shop is on my short list of must-hit shops in Osaka.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 大阪 at Kashiya (かしや)
かしや (Kashiya in Osaka)
Creamy soups are all the rage in Osaka these days. At Kashiya, in the Tamade area of Southern Osaka, you can choose to go creamy or choose to go light. The creamy “cappuccino” style tonkotsu ramen is the signature dish.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at らーめん香澄 中崎町店 at Ramen Kasumi Nakazakicho Ten (らーめん香澄)
らーめん 香澄 (Kasumi in Osaka)
I’ve been seeing these signs a lot recently. I made it a mission in 2022 to complete the list of Japan’s Top 100 ramen shops (actually 300) called the Hyakumeiten (百名店).

I’ve been seeing these signs a lot recently. I made it a mission in 2022 to complete the list of Japan’s Top 100 ramen shops (actually 300) called the Hyakumeiten (百名店). Yes, I finished, thanks to spending around 40 days in Osaka over the course of a year. Kasumi is no rookie to this list, having been given “Best Ramen” awards since well before this list existed. Their niboshi mazesoba, sans soup, is an easy bowl to crush.

ロックンビリースーパーワン (Rocking Billy Super One in Amagasaki,Hyogo)
There was once a legendary shop in Tokyo. The master, Shimazaki-san, required near complete silence in his shop. Your phone rings? You’re gone. You could take a photo, but you better not take long. Some people compared him to a popular character in the American TV show Seinfeld, and I could see it.
Years later and the shop moved to Hyogo. This is many ramen fan's favorite shop in the universe.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 洛二神 at Raku Nijin (洛二神)
洛二神 (Rakunijin in Osaka)
In the case of Rakunijin, the master opened his shop in 2001 and modeled his ramen after some he had eaten in Tokyo. At the time, Osaka didn’t have much in the way of niboshi ramen. He is completely self-taught, blaming the lack of internet at the time for his hundreds of prototype bowls.

中華そば 無限 (Chukasoba Mugen in Osaka)
Ultra-refined shoyu ramen is fairly common in recent years. You can find shops like this from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and big cities like Osaka obviously have their share. Mugen is the cream of the crop.

中華そば 無限 (Chukasoba Mugen in Osaka)
Ultra-refined shoyu ramen is fairly common in recent years. You can find shops like this from Hokkaido to Kyushu, and big cities like Osaka obviously have their share. Mugen is the cream of the crop. The master, Mr. Okada (岡田店主) has been in the restaurant game for a long time. He ran yakiniku restaurants for over 10 years. He eventually left the restaurant industry to work as a repo man for a car rental service until his friend called from Australia. His friend wanted to expand his bento lunchbox restaurant into a ramen shop. Okada-san, with little experience in the matter, took a crash course with the Yamato Noodle School, and brought that knowledge down under. When he returned to Japan, he tried his hand at running his own ramen shop.

- Ramen Adventures added a new meal Dinner at 大阪 at Men Genso (麺元素)
麺元素 (Mengenso in Osaka)
Mengenso in the Tenma area of Osaka prides themselves on a 100% natural bowl of ramen. Mengenso means noodle (麺) element (元素) and the concept is simple. Simple fish ramen and simple chicken ramen made with a lot of care.
