Visited in December 2022. Finally, it's December again. The end of a super busy year is even busier. But we definitely want to have a proper meal, right? So, on the night we returned from the east, we visited "Shio Gensui Nishinakajima Store," our favorite local ramen chain in Kansai, where the salt ramen and yakimeshi are especially delicious! We arrived a little after 22:00, and the parking lot in front of the store, which can accommodate 4 cars, was full, so we used a coin parking lot across the road. There was a wait of about 3 groups, and we entered the store in less than 10 minutes... Here's what we had that day:
- Miso Ramen
- Natural Salt Ramen (for my husband)
- Yakimeshi (shared)
We had tried the salt ramen and soy sauce ramen before, but we had never tried the miso ramen. So, I confirmed with the young female staff that it was garlic-free and decided to order the miso ramen for the first time.
Miso Ramen:
The miso ramen uses a blend of 4 types of miso. The toppings include chashu, menma, bean sprouts, Kujyo negi, and shredded chili pepper. The slightly acidic soup is not too thick and can be enjoyed refreshingly. The noodles are the same medium-thick straight noodles as the salt ramen, and they mix well with the soup. As I slurped, minced meat also came out from the back!! I wanted a spoon with a hole in it (^_^;). The yakimeshi is great, but this ramen goes well with rice!
Yakimeshi:
The ingredients are simple - egg, green onions, and chashu. As expected, the yakimeshi is perfectly stir-fried, with a perfect balance of saltiness, making it an excellent match with the most popular salt ramen (≧▽≦)!! It's worth coming here just for the yakimeshi.
I tried the miso ramen for the first time, but in terms of quality, the completion level of the natural salt ramen is higher. I was once again able to confirm that salt ramen is the best at Shio Gensui. However, this restaurant not only excels in the quality of its dishes but also has highly motivated staff and solid operations, so I can always eat here with peace of mind! It must be the owner's dedication. Thank you for the delicious meal today. I will come again! Thank you very much.
