I happened to come across this restaurant near the hotel I was staying at and decided to give it a try. The ramen turned out to be much more delicious than I expected! (I realized that I really like tonkotsu ramen.) The thin noodles and the soup were both incredibly tasty, and I slightly regretted not ordering extra rice... It seems like this restaurant is only found in Kansai, so I hope I can try it in Kanto someday. Thank you for the meal! ☺️

I had ramen (820 yen) and a beer (550 yen). The soup is rich and creamy tonkotsu. The noodles are very thin and straight. It's a rich Hakata-style ramen. The table has pickled ginger, spicy green onion, and mustard greens. It's great for adding different flavors.

I went there for the first time. It's a pork bone ramen. When you buy a voucher outside the shop, the staff will guide you from the inside. There are various options available, so it seems enjoyable. The ramen also comes in firm noodles, and it was delicious. The gyoza is also tasty.

I went to Kamitora Higobashi store in Osaka around 10 p.m. on a weekday. There were a few people waiting, who seemed to be customers coming back from a live show at Festival Hall. We had to buy meal tickets from a machine before entering. After entering, we handed the tickets to the staff and told them how we wanted our noodles and amount of pork back fat. After about 10 minutes of waiting, the ramen arrived. I ordered the Kamitora Ramen for 820 yen, and the pork was very tender and delicious. The noodles were thin and easy to eat. The soup was rich and flavorful. I would definitely want to go back to this ramen shop. Thank you for the meal! 🍜

I wanted to eat Akatora ramen after a long time, so I visited the restaurant. I arrived at 8:30 pm on Saturday and there was only one group waiting. Usually, the wait is around 20 minutes for groups of 2-4 people. The Akatora ramen was really red this time, almost making me think I might choke if I eat it too quickly due to its spiciness! It's perfect for those who like spicy food. The thin noodles were easy to eat, and the wood ear mushrooms matched well with the soup. The chashu was tender and not too fatty, making it easy to eat. I tend to switch between the red and white ramen at this restaurant. I'll try the white ramen next time. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I visited "Kamitora Higobashi Store" in Nishi-ku, Osaka for lunch for the first time. It is located near Higobashi Station on the Osaka Metro Yotsubashi Line, about a 1-minute walk from exit 2. I arrived with a colleague just before 12:50 pm on a weekday. Despite trying to avoid the busy lunchtime, there were already about 10 people waiting in front of the restaurant. The area usually isn't too crowded with office workers during lunchtime, but this restaurant seems to attract a lot of inbound customers. We waited for about 17 minutes before being seated. The restaurant has a maximum seating capacity of 20 people at the counter and tables. The seating for four people seemed a bit cramped. We purchased meal tickets before entering, and the system involved handing them over before being seated. We ordered the Ramen Set for 990 yen, with Black Tiger Ramen and Nikudama Donburi. The food was served in less than 3 minutes after we sat down. The Black Tiger Ramen had a tonkotsu broth with thin straight noodles, topped with chashu, kikurage, green onions, and a flavored egg. The broth was similar to Kumamoto ramen with a hint of ma-yu oil. It was a delicious bowl of ramen. The Nikudama Donburi had shredded meat, raw egg, and green onions on rice. Unlike other places, it wasn't overly sweet and suited my taste. The food was tasty, the atmosphere was pleasant, and the service was good. Overall, it was a great place to enjoy a satisfying ramen lunch.

I happened to enter this ramen shop after struggling to find a lunch spot past the peak hours. The timing of the service was just right. As soon as I arrived, my stomach was growling so much that I dove into the noodles and broth without savoring them first. But because I was so hungry, the ramen tasted even more delicious. The more I ate, the more my stomach and heart felt satisfied. This ramen shop is truly amazing. Many foreigners were also there, and they seemed satisfied with the taste as well. However, when the foreigners left, they said nice things like "have a nice day!" But when we left, no one even noticed us leaving. I wish we could have had a nice farewell after enjoying such delicious food. Nevertheless, if there's no line, this ramen shop is definitely worth a visit. (I noticed that there was a long line outside when we left)

This is a popular restaurant located at the crossroads near Higobashi, where there is always a line of salarymen during lunchtime. I have been to the Minamimori branch before and was impressed by the well-balanced taste of their Osaka-style Hakata tonkotsu ramen. I didn't realize they also had a main branch in Kita-Shinchi. The menu seems to be the same. I ordered the Black Tiger Ramen (820 yen) from the ticket machine outside. The noodles were thin and straight, which I really liked. The toppings were only wood ear mushrooms and green onions. It falls under the category of pork bone ramen, but it has evolved in Osaka to have a less porky smell. I learned that Black Tiger is actually from Kumamoto. The chashu here was not as tender as the one in Minamimori, but still good. The aroma of the ma-yu oil in the Black Tiger was rich, and while the burnt umami flavor was just right, I felt the saltiness was a bit too strong. The friendly service from the owner and the overall atmosphere of the restaurant were nice. I might get a bit tired of Black Tiger though. I hope they offer the delicious fried rice that was available at the Minamimori branch as a service here too. I should visit the main branch next time. I don't dislike this chain. I got a free extra serving of noodles as a service for adding them as a LINE friend for the first time. It was a great meal.

Visited around 12 o'clock for lunch. There were already about 7 people waiting. It had been a few years since my last visit to this ramen shop. I had only tried their tonkotsu ramen before, but this time I was curious about their new menu items, so I ordered the back fat and dried fish ramen along with the meatball rice bowl. The ramen was a style similar to Echizen Sanjo ramen, with a rich soy sauce broth, chewy noodles, and quite a bit of onions which made it very delicious. The meatball rice bowl was okay. It's quite rare to find this type of ramen in Osaka, so it was a valuable experience. The back fat and dried fish ramen was excellent. Thank you for the meal.

Kamutora Osaka, Higobashi Cold Soba, TP Egg Summer Limited Edition. It's like a Korean-style egg over rice, very tasty and my favorite flavor. The hand-kneaded noodles were delicious, and even the large portion wasn't enough. I want to keep coming back for this taste!

They are open until late at night! Right above the subway station! One great point is that you can choose the amount of oil in your ramen, which is fantastic. It was past 10 pm when I had the ramen, and it was a lifesaver! I chose the spicy option. It may be considered normal spiciness for those used to spicy food, but the noodles I selected were perfectly firm and the soup was easy to drink. I definitely want to go back again. The atmosphere of the restaurant was also good. I was a bit nervous as it was my first visit to this ramen shop, but the customer service was just right.

Kamitora's limited-time menu starting in May, "Occhan's Summer Vacation" ramen✨ I was curious about what part of it was related to Occhan's summer vacation, but the actual menu name is cold noodles✨ The rich soy sauce dressing with sesame oil is very appetizing, and the flat noodles are excellent✨ I want to eat it again @kamitora_official #ChickenSobaZagin #OsakaRamen #OsakaLunch #OsakaStationFrontBuilding #OsakaGourmet #ShinsaibashiRamen #UmedaGourmet #KitashinchiLunch #UmedaLunch #UmedaCafe #Want to connect with people who love ramen #NextShikaku #AllMankindNoodleKind #ColdRamen #UmedaRamen #TennojiLunch #ShinsaibashiLunch #ShinsaibashiCafe #KyotoRamen #RamenInstagramer #SannomiyaLunch #HigobashiRamen #HigobashiLunch #HigobashiCafe #HigobashiGourmet #TennojiCafe #WakayamaRamen #Zagin #TonkotsuRamen #Kamitora

Today is Saturday, and I had to work on my day off. I needed to finish quickly and get back, so I had some tantanmen (sea bream tantan noodles) for lunch, and decided to have noodles for dinner as well. I found a chicken soba shop nearby, but there were about three people waiting outside, so I decided to pass since I don't think ramen is worth waiting for. I remembered there was a ramen shop near Higobashi Station, and luckily there was no wait. I chose the special set with ramen and gyoza from the ticket machine and entered the shop. You could choose from three types of ramen - God Tiger, Black Tiger, or Red Tiger - and also choose either seasoned egg or extra noodles. I chose God Tiger with a seasoned egg. It's described as pork bone and dashi soup, but I'm not sure how it's different from double soup or seafood pork bone, as I'm not very knowledgeable about ramen. It was light and easy to eat as a pork bone ramen. However, it felt a bit lacking in punch or uniqueness, and as someone who lived in Kurume, Fukuoka for about 4 years where pork bone ramen originated, I may be used to the strong smell of Kurume ramen. Maybe it's just me being weird. Thanks for the meal.

I love the Back Fat Niboshi Ramen from Kamitora so much, it's simple but addictively delicious. I also had my favorite Nikudon bowl, it was the best lunch ever! #Kamitora #BackFatChatchaStyle #BackFatNiboshiRamen #ChickenSobaZagin #Zagin #Franken #TsubamesanjoRamen #OsakaRamen #OsakaGourmet #OsakaLunch #AllHumanityLovesNoodles #RamenLoversUnite #HigashibashiGourmet #HigashibashiLunch #HigashibashiCafe #KyotoRamen #WakayamaRamen #NaraRamen #KobeRamen #UmedaGourmet #UmedaLunch #KitashinchiLunch #KitashinchiGourmet #MinamimorimachiGourmet #MinamimorimachiLunch #KansaiRamen #BackFatRamen #BackFatNiboshi #OsakaSightseeing #OsakaTravel

I went to a ramen restaurant called God Tiger because I was really hungry after having just drinks at another place with a friend. This place is known for its unique combination of Hakata-style ramen with Kansai dashi broth, and it has a great reputation. Even though it was past 10 pm, the restaurant was full and I had to wait a bit. The service was excellent, and the atmosphere was clean and inviting. I ordered the regular God Tiger ramen with seasoned egg, and I asked for the noodles to be extra firm. The ramen arrived with a generous portion of chashu in the middle, and it looked very well-prepared. The broth was milder compared to authentic Hakata ramen, but still delicious and flavorful. I decided to get an extra serving of noodles, also extra firm. The noodles were cooked perfectly, and I enjoyed them with pickled ginger. Overall, I had a satisfying meal and I would definitely come back to this top-notch ramen restaurant in a similar situation.

I visited for lunch on a regular day. I ordered the back fat and dried fish ramen for 850 yen. I had been curious about this ramen since passing by before. The ramen arrived just a few minutes after ordering. The ramen itself was very delicious, but the highlight was definitely the thick noodles. The noodles were superb, they really intertwined with the soup and brought it all the way to my mouth! An unparalleled thick noodle experience. A very satisfying ramen, I would definitely recommend it to others. I will be coming back for sure!

After finishing work on Tuesday evening, I decided to have ramen for dinner, which I hadn't had in a while. I visited Kamitora near Higobashi Station, which is a popular tonkotsu ramen shop affiliated with the Gin no Budou chain and has even expanded overseas. I arrived at the shop around 6 PM and ordered the "KAMITORA SPECIAL" for 1,100 yen and an "ajitama" (flavored egg) for 110 yen using the ticket machine. Inside the shop, I was seated at the counter with a glass of water ready. When I handed my ticket to the female staff, she asked me to choose between Kamitora, Kurotora, or Akatora ramen, the richness of the soup, and the firmness of the noodles. I chose Kamitora ramen, a richer soup, and firm noodles, but I wasn't asked about the flavored egg or extra noodles, so I ended up ordering extra noodles since I already bought the flavored egg ticket. The noodles took a while to arrive, so I assumed they were preparing the gyoza. When the "Kamitora ramen" came out, it had a rich and flavorful pork bone broth that had been simmered for a long time. Despite being rich, it had no unpleasant odor and had a mild flavor with a hint of seafood umami. Normally, I would dive into the soup with my spoon, but this time I had ordered extra noodles, so I started with the noodles first. After finishing the thin noodles quickly, I ordered the extra noodles, which came out on a plate and were very firm. Adding them to the bowl cooled down the soup quickly. I also enjoyed the pickled ginger, spicy pickled vegetables, and garlic chives on the table. It was a satisfying meal, and I learned a lot from the experience. I prefer to enjoy the balance of soup and noodles in my ramen, so it was a bit of a strange feeling. Next time, I'll try visiting Shekarashika or Hakata Ikkousha.

The back fat simmered dried ramen at Kamitora is so delicious that I keep going back for more. At first glance, it may seem like a simple ramen, but the soup is so addictive with the powerful flavor of the back fat! The medium-thick curly noodles are also irresistible.
