Lunch today was at "Shio Soba Kyubei" in Kyobashi. It was a support lunch for a restaurant that is still open despite the pandemic. Located a little east of the Kyobashi Higashi intersection on National Route 1 in Osaka Kyobashi, I tried the limited-time "Hiyashi Tantanmen". The noodles came in a large portion with a small serving of rice at the end. "Shio Soba Kyubei" used to be a snack or bar, but it looks like it was converted into a ramen shop. The small shop only has a counter, but the turnover is quite fast. Now, about the limited-time "Hiyashi Tantanmen", it consisted of cold noodles finished in cold water with a cold soup that had a strong flavor. The noodles were flat and chewy. The soup was likely a chicken-based soup used in their shio soba, with added sesame sauce and chili oil. On top of the noodles were tantan meat miso, white leeks, shredded red pepper, finely chopped purple onions, and thinly sliced cucumbers. The spicy and flavorful cold tantanmen was perfect for the hot summer. It was really delicious. Finally, I dove into the rice and finished it all. The cold tantanmen was so delicious!

The restaurant operates on a ticket system, with the tickets located right next to the door. There are recommended menu items displayed in front of the shop, making it easy to choose what to eat even for first-time visitors. The interior is small, but the owner's hospitality is excellent, creating a very pleasant atmosphere. The ramen is also very delicious, a taste that makes me want to come back again. Thank you for the meal.

I visited this place for lunch on a Saturday. I arrived a little after 12 and it seemed like I was the first customer. I bought a ticket for "salt ramen" for 800 yen at the ticket machine by the entrance. I sat down and my order was served in about 4 minutes. The bowl that arrived had a clear and beautiful typical salt soup. It was refreshing and slightly sweet, with a nice balance of saltiness. The noodles were chewy and smooth, just the way I like them, not too firm. The rare chashu was tender and flavorful. The finely chopped menma had a good seasoning and added a nice touch. The diced red onion was crunchy and a good accent. I enjoyed the delicious soup to the last drop. The restaurant is a bit hidden in a back alley in Kyobashi, but they serve very delicious and gentle salt ramen. The interior is a bit small with only counter seats, but the wooden tables and stylish trays create a nice atmosphere. The blonde chef seems to like music, as rock music was playing quite loudly in the restaurant. I'm not familiar with that kind of music, but there were band towels displayed, so it seems like a good place for music lovers. Judging from the quality of the salt ramen, I have high expectations for their other menu items as well. I would like to try the soy sauce ramen next time. Thank you for the meal!

When I entered the store, the first thing that caught my eye was the Japanese rock music towel! I got excited and ended up talking to the staff. The ramen was a light salt-based soup that was clear and delicious! However, the seasoned egg was surprisingly heavy and added a nice accent to the dish! The mixed noodles were intentionally heavier with a soy sauce base, which paired well with the gentle saltiness and caught me off guard.

It's been a while since I visited Kyobashi, and wow, it's chaotic. The hot weather in Kyobashi makes it even more stifling. The exterior looks a bit intimidating, but once you enter, you're greeted by a blond-haired guy managing everything alone. I tried the "Special Salt Ramen," which had a gentle salt flavor that was delicious, but I think a bit more kick would be nice. It was a kind salt ramen in this chaotic and stifling city.

I went to a girls bar as a last stop after drinking in Kyobashi. As soon as I opened the door, there was a ticket machine where each person bought their ticket before entering the shop. I ordered the live clam soba for 1050 yen. The others ordered the normal salt ramen. The clam soba was very delicious, with clams simmered in salt broth. The noodles were easy to eat, slightly slippery. The others also finished their soup until the last drop.

Entered around 12:15. Couldn't see inside through the door, so wasn't sure if I could enter without trying to open it. Luckily, was able to enter. Purchased the special salt ramen and cool noodles from the ticket machine. They mentioned they were short-staffed, so they were making orders one by one. Received my order in about 7-8 minutes. The ramen came with a very large low-temperature cooked chashu, onions, green onions, and a seasoned egg. The noodles were coarse and thin but had a very good flavor. It seems like they put a lot of effort into the noodles. It had just the right amount of volume and was delicious. As for the cool noodles, it felt almost like a step before dipping noodles in kombu broth. The noodles were rinsed in cold water and had a great elasticity. This option is better for the current season.

It's so delicious. I used to think of salt ramen as like sukiyaki with something extra, but it's totally different. It's rich and flavorful, with a strong saltiness. The noodles are medium thickness straight noodles that go perfectly with the soup. The chashu is also full of flavor, but what's amazing is that it doesn't overpower the soup. I have to come back here regularly.

Visited the restaurant around 8 pm on a regular night with two people. It was not crowded and we were seated right away, but a few more people came in after us. Safe! We ordered the special salt ramen. The light salt soup was delicious from the first sip. The thin but satisfying homemade noodles paired perfectly with the soup! The chashu was also delicious! There was an option for extra noodles with additional toppings called "wae-tama," which caught our interest, but we were already full from the ramen so we passed this time. It looks tempting though! My wife ordered the cold ramen, which was also tasty! Thank you for the meal!

I went to find a restaurant and stumbled upon Ura Kyobashi... a charming back alley that is quite deep and intriguing, in a good way, if you enter from the JR ticket gate area. There are signboards at both the corner on the back side and the corner along the main street, serving as landmarks. I entered the small shop with only a counter and ordered the salt ramen from the ticket machine (800 yen). After waiting about 10 minutes, a beautifully presented salt ramen arrived! The soup was clear and shimmering with chicken fat glistening. The rare chashu was tender and melted in the soup, adding richness. The crunchy onions provided a nice accent. The soup was quite drinkable! The medium-thick straight noodles also paired well. The location is convenient, and the shop is open until 10:45 pm. It was run by a single man, and I couldn't help but wonder what the atmosphere is like during the evening hours. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I think this is the best ramen shop in Kyobashi. It's located in a narrow alley so it can be hard to find, but it's close to the station and easy to get to. The salt ramen is famous but the soy sauce ramen was also really delicious. The interior of the shop is extremely narrow, barely enough space for one person to pass through, so be careful if you have big bags...

Located in Osaka, Kyobashi. It's a bit hidden from the main road, just off Route 1. The storefront doesn't look like a typical ramen shop, more like it used to be a pub or something. On Thursday at 7:10 PM, about half of the small counter seats were taken. I decided to try the Kyobashi BLACK ramen for 980 yen and added a flavored egg for 100 yen using the ticket machine. The soup is not exactly "Toyama Black" but it seems to be chicken-based. The mild yet well-rounded soy flavor of the soup is delicious. When combined with plenty of green onions and square-shaped medium-thick noodles, it's quite satisfying. The toppings like two pieces of bamboo shoots, ham-like chashu, and perfectly cooked flavored egg are of high quality. The owner seems to be running the shop alone and looks kind. However, the music playing inside is metal. Overall, it was a good meal.

"Salt Ramen" for 800 yen [Soup] The clear soup looks beautiful and has a gentle yet delicious flavor. [Noodles] The medium thick, chewy, slightly flat straight noodles have a perfect firmness and texture. [Toppings] Large thinly sliced rare chashu, bamboo shoots, early red pepper, green onions. I had tried to visit during the day before, but it was always closed. Today, passing by in the evening, it was open so I visited for the first time. While I am a fan of soy sauce, I was intrigued by the default salt ramen menu. The restaurant has a bar-like atmosphere with only a counter. The soup was delicious, but the noodles were my favorite part with a great texture. I almost finished the soup without feeling guilty. Next time, I will try the soy sauce ramen or the Kyobashi Black ramen! Thank you for the meal.

On Friday at 2:30 PM, I went to "Shio Ramen Kyubei" in Kyobashi. The exterior of the restaurant is easy to miss at first glance. I made it just before closing time. I ordered the "Ajitama Shio Ramen (900 yen)". It arrived in 5 minutes. One bite. Delicious. The soup has a refreshing and light salt flavor. It's not just light, it also has richness and depth of flavor. The toppings include mitsuba, purple onions, white negi, bamboo shoots, rare chashu, and seasoned egg. There's a subtle uniqueness in the flavors. The noodles are straight. When it comes to salt ramen, it's hard to distinguish differences in taste, but they differentiate with toppings and the salt seasoning. Salt ramen is indeed challenging. This meal reminded me of that. Thank you for the meal.

Special house-made soy sauce ramen for ¥1100 (includes 3 slices of rare chashu, seasoned egg, bamboo shoots, sliced green onions, minced green onions). The noodles were smooth and chewy, with just the right amount of bounce. The soy sauce soup, despite being light, had a rich and flavorful broth that was not overwhelming. This ramen shop mainly focuses on salt ramen, but this soy sauce soup was delicious with a well-balanced taste. If you prefer a more bold and punchy soup, this may be too subtle for you. The rare chashu, seasoned egg, and bamboo shoots were all top-notch, making this soy sauce ramen a well-rounded dish. On a side note, the owner seems to be a fan of MAN WITH A MISSION, as their music and decor in the shop were all dedicated to the band.

Arrived at the restaurant before it opened at 12:10 PM, we were the first customers. The interior had only counter seats, about 7 in total. I couldn't decide what to eat, but ended up choosing the salt tsukemen, while my wife went for the most popular special salt ramen. We also ordered a bowl of hormone rice and a mini bowl of hormone rice. We plan to visit again and try a different menu next time.

The salt ramen was very light and refreshing. The special salt flavor didn't have much of a seafood taste. The soft-boiled egg was cooked perfectly with a hint of rawness. The hormone bowl seemed to be made with pork intestines. It wasn't strongly flavored, but the texture had a strong hormone taste which may not be for everyone.

After finishing my night shift, I went straight to another job in the morning. I finished work in Kyobashi and then came here. I had the special salt ramen for 1100 yen, which came with a boiled egg and three large slices of chashu. The light salt ramen was delicious. Thank you for the meal. There seems to be a shop in Nagata as well. Mystery Salt Ramen Kyubei Kyobashi Store 080-9760-2517 Osaka, Osaka City, Miyakojima-ku, Higashinoda-cho 3-12-9.

The salt ramen with asari clams was the signature menu item. I hesitated between that and the char siu ramen, but ultimately chose the asari ramen. I ordered using the ticket machine and patiently waited in the small, one-person-operated shop. The ramen was filled with plenty of clams and char siu. The soup was clear and looked light, but had a rich clam flavor and was very delicious. It was mild and slightly sweet. The chewy medium-thick noodles provided a satisfying texture. The ramen was packed with so many clams, making it a very satisfying salt ramen.

A popular ramen shop in Kyobashi. The shop is very small with only L-shaped counter seats, so narrow that you can't even pull out your chair. *Special Salt Ramen ¥1,100 ・ Thin noodles ・ Light salt soup ・ Toppings include boiled egg, green onion, bamboo shoots, rare chashu, etc.
