After leaving Manten, it was still before noon, so I had to go to one more place (laughs). I visited "Menya Garyu," a place I had been wanting to try for a while. - Arrival time: 12:10 PM - Crowdedness: 50% However, there was a constant flow of customers coming in and out. The interior of the shop had a good ventilation and a nostalgic Showa era atmosphere. It was a bit hot inside, but there were fans placed around. It felt really calming, like a rural town during summer vacation. I ordered the Chicken and Pork White Broth Ramen with extra Char Siu. - Serving time: 10 minutes Huh? There are potatoes on top! I feel like I got a bonus (laughs). This broth is rich! The chicken and pork flavors are intense without being overwhelming! It has a richness that rivals butter! Truly the taste of the number one popular choice! The chewy noodles complement the soup perfectly, and I am completely satisfied! Even though this is my second stop, I can't stop eating - the large pork shoulder Char Siu is delicious, I'll take a big bite (laughs). Delicious! The chicken breast Char Siu is quite salty, but the usual bland ones would be overpowered by this soup, so this level of saltiness is acceptable, and tasty! I want to eat this with white rice! The thick Menma is also to my liking! Even though this is my second stop, I finished the soup too (laughs). Very satisfied! Thank you for the meal.

I had black ramen. The soup was delicious with a strong broth and not too much oil. Surprisingly, there was a hint of acidity and the sliced onions as garnish were a perfect match. However, the mixed rice was a bit dry, which was disappointing.

I had the mixed noodles with a refined taste. While I didn't feel the toppings were particularly special, having fried garlic in it was nice. The seasoning had a rich and delicious taste typical of mixed noodles. You can also change the flavor by adding vinegar or chili oil.

Chicken, pork, and fish salt ramen for 780 yen, and Black ramen with back fat for 800 yen. The salt ramen has a delicious and rich flavor that comes out from the first bite. The soup is so good that you can't stop drinking it. The chashu, made from both chicken and pork, has a strong and tasty flavor. It's light, but before you know it, you've finished all the noodles. The Black ramen has a strong and bold taste with back fat, garlic, and pepper adding to its richness. The soup is intense, especially with the onion as a refreshing touch. The flavor is amazing! However, towards the end, when the onion is gone, the soup becomes too strong to finish. It's quite different from the first bowl. Next time, I might try the most popular item since the white broth was sold out when I visited. The noodles at Gamenya Myouru are really something!

I ordered the 850 yen chicken and pork white broth ramen. Is this a traditional ramen? The toppings included chicken chashu, pork chashu, bamboo shoots, and potatoes... potatoes? I was surprised by that. The soup was rich and delicious. The chicken chashu had a special seasoning and was delicious. The pork chashu was average. The potatoes were unnecessary.

I'm "Noronori," mainly eating lunch around Sakai. As soon as you enter, there is a ticket machine. I sat at the counter and had the chicken, pork, and seafood salt ramen. It costs 780 yen. The soup was delicious! Thank you for the tasty chicken pie.

I had chicken broth ramen! The soup was very rich! The chicken chashu was unique, and it was my first time trying ramen with potatoes in it! The thick soup is addicting.

I got off at Bentencho and decided to try a ramen shop with high ratings on my way home. There were two couples and some Western men having a lively time in the shop. I wasn't sure what to order, but the basic ramen at this shop is usually in the top left corner of the ticket machine. I ordered the shirotan ramen with a boiled egg topping. It arrived in about 10 minutes. The color was quite unusual, and surprisingly, there was a potato on top! I took a sip of the soup first. Hmm, I see, I see. The starch from the potato leaked into the soup, making it thick and gooey. It created a unique texture when mixed with the noodles. Yes, this is a new type of ramen that I've never encountered before. Thanks to the potato, my satiety center was stimulated, and I felt a warm fullness in my stomach and body. My heart also felt warm. "Mom, the food was delicious today, thank you for cooking," I unconsciously thought of my mom's nikujaga. Suddenly, I thought that it would be even tastier with lemon juice, but unfortunately, they didn't have any. Personally, I prefer the lighter taste of the ramen at the nearby Nomura's, but I think I'll crave this one again. I'm already thinking about trying other menu items and planning to visit again.

Bentencho is lacking good restaurants, especially ramen shops, despite being a relatively large station with two train lines. Among the few options, I found this place which had decent reviews and was looking forward to trying it out. In the end, it was just average. It didn't live up to the hype for me, especially considering I had to pay for parking to visit. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I guess it's an okay place for others. The staff, consisting of the chef and a female server, seemed to chat a lot, which didn't give off a great impression. Nonetheless, I left feeling full! Thank you for the meal.

Today (6/2), I visited this shop near JR Kanjo Line Bentencho Station, the second ramen shop in Minato Ward after "Chuka soba Noyu". I purchased a ticket for the "Chicken and Pork White Soup Ramen (800 yen)" labeled as "Our most popular dish" on the sign outside. The staff recommended me to sit at the counter, but I chose a table seat instead due to the high counter. Despite being the first customer of the day, I had to wait quite a while before the bowl finally arrived. The appearance clearly screamed "white soup ramen", with yellow soup and slightly wavy straight thin noodles peeking out. On top, there were chicken (breast meat) and pork (shoulder loin) chashu, thick menma, boiled potatoes for some reason, finely chopped green onions, and shredded chili peppers. Upon tasting the soup, it was indeed a delicious white soup with a moist and gentle flavor, quite tasty. The noodles had a smooth and chewy texture, very delicious as well. The toppings were good overall, except for the slightly salty chicken breast meat. Overall, it was a well-made dish, and I can understand why it's the shop's most popular item. A quite delicious white soup ramen it was.

While on the move, I stopped by "Menya Garyu" near Bentencho Station after a long time. I noticed the "NO NOODLE NO LIFE sticker" on the top of the ticket vending machine, which is always a good sign! I ordered the "Back Oil Black Ramen with Char Siu topping" from the vending machine. The temperature outside was getting hotter, so I was worried about sweating, but my ramen arrived in about 10 minutes. The soy sauce-based soup with a hint of sweetness from the back oil was delicious, and the large rare char siu topping was soft and tasty. The medium-thick noodles were perfectly cooked, and I enjoyed slurping them up along with the flavorful soup. I refrained from adding garlic today as I have a meeting in the afternoon, but I look forward to coming back on a day when I can add garlic. This was my 155th bowl of ramen this year!

I had lunch near Bentencho Station. I went to "Menya Garyu," which I had been curious about for a while. The restaurant operates by purchasing a meal ticket first. I had a hard time deciding what to order. I chose the Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen with egg. The ramen that arrived had a great appearance. I tried the soup first! It was as thick as the soup at Tenkaippin, but it had a delicious taste as if a potage soup had been added. There were both pork and chicken chashu. Potatoes were also included. Overall, it was a well-balanced and delicious ramen. I would like to come back again. Thank you for the meal!!!

The chair broke, so I went to the Konan home center in Bentencho to buy parts and had lunch while I was there. Bentencho is known for "Hakata Musume" but recently, the popular "Noryo" has been gaining attention. Amidst this, I visited "GARYU" located under the circular elevated railway, with entrances on both the east and west sides. I entered around 1 pm and although there were no customers initially, more people started coming in after me. First, I purchased a meal ticket from the ticket machine near the west entrance. There are four types of ramen available: chicken-pork white broth, chicken-pork seafood salt, chicken-pork light soy sauce, and pork fat black. Today, as usual, I ordered the chicken-pork white broth ramen for 780 yen. The bowl arrived in about 5 minutes. The rich and creamy white broth soup with a strong chicken flavor, along with smooth medium-straight noodles. The toppings included one slice each of chicken and pork chashu, boiled potatoes, Chinese cabbage, green onions, and shredded red chili peppers. The Chinese cabbage had a good crunch, and the boiled potatoes paired well with the rich cream soup. The chashu was well-seared and nicely done, but I wished it was a bit more tender. The pork chashu was soft and delicious, although not melt-in-your-mouth. The noodles and soup complemented each other well, and I finished it in no time. There was a single autograph on the counter, oddly enough, it was "Arthur Kuroda." Leaving that aside, this is my favorite ramen place around Bentencho. It was delicious, thank you for the meal.

I decided to take a little drive in the rain from Tenpozan to Bentencho. Feeling a bit hungry, I searched on Tabelog and found a popular ramen shop with a rating of 3.50 out of 29 reviews called Menya GARYU. I decided to give it a try and went there right when it opened. They had a system where you buy a food ticket at the entrance. I ordered the Chicken and Pork White Soup Ramen with extra Chashu and the Chicken and Pork Light Soy Sauce Ramen. Both ramen dishes were of high quality and well-made. I couldn't decide which one was better, they were both so good. It was surprising to find such a great ramen shop in an unexpected location.

While moving around the Bentencho Station area, I decided to visit "Menya GARYU" after a long time. I noticed a sticker on the top of the ticket machine that says "NO NOODLE NO LIFE," which caught my attention. I ordered the limited edition "Hormone Vegetable Ramen" and it arrived in about 10 minutes. The hormone used in the dish was a large and juicy maruchou, which was my favorite part. The soup was a spicy clear broth that was flavorful and delicious. The crunchy vegetables added a nice texture to the dish. The thin noodles paired well with the soup, and I was completely satisfied with the meal. Even though there were only 8 servings of the limited edition ramen, it was so delicious that I highly recommend trying it. This was my 95th bowl of ramen this year.

The soup is quite salty... The restaurant is quite lively. Well, the ramen is a slightly sweet soy sauce ramen. The chashu can be sour, which is interesting, but I'm not sure if that's the right choice. This restaurant still has room to grow.

Rarely, two weeks in a row in the Bentencho area. I finished my business at the bank in front of Bentencho Station and have another appointment in the afternoon, so I decided to have a light lunch somewhere. Last week, I had "soupless tantanmen" in Bentencho. Search for "#BentenchoGourmet #BentenchoRamen". "Grill Miyako" closed, "Hakata Ramen Hakata Musume" closed on regular holidays... I visited "Menya Garyu" this time. It is located under the elevated tracks south of JR Bentencho Station. The menu at the entrance has "shoyu" and "shio" ramen, with "back oil black" at the bottom. I was intrigued by the fusion of Takaida-style and Onomichi Ramen. I'm not familiar with ramen, but I know that they use fish broth in both shoyu ramen, and Takaida-style has thick noodles while Onomichi has flat or thin noodles. The "back oil black" arrived in about 5 minutes. I imagined a strong flavor and added white rice. It has a dark shoyu base from Takaida-style and back oil plus straight thin noodles from Onomichi-style. The aroma and taste of the chicken bone and seafood (kombu, bonito flakes, etc.) broth are distinct. The flavors are refined from each ramen style. The soup is dark and rich in flavor, but not overwhelming, and the amount of back oil is not excessive, making it easy to eat. A small amount of default garlic adds depth to the flavor. There was pepper on the table, but I would have liked to have vinegar and chili peppers. Thank you for the meal.

I like salt ramen so I ordered it. Hmm, this doesn't seem like salt ramen. The soup is not clear, it's brown and cloudy. When I tasted it, it had a flavor like MSG. Plus, there was a hint of animal taste to it. I'm used to eating Kinsei's salt ramen, so this was surprising. No wonder there are so few reviews for salt ramen here. Thank you for the meal. The service was good.

"I visited 'Menya GARYU' in Bentencho and tried their 'Chicken and Pork Light Soy Sauce Ramen' for 700 yen. The soup had a delicate blend of chicken and pork broth with a refined soy sauce base, creating a balanced richness with a hint of sweetness. The noodles, sourced from Tsurumi Seimenjo, were medium-thick straight noodles with a good chewy texture. The char siu consisted of both pork shoulder and chicken breast, each tender and flavorful. Overall, a delicious and well-balanced ramen experience."

【Menya GARYU ∞ (Osaka, Osaka)】 A shop that opened in July 2017 in Osaka's Minato Ward, with chicken white broth ramen as its main menu item. Date: 20.6.8 Chicken and pork white broth, extra boiled egg - ¥880 - Soup: A rich broth based on chicken, soy sauce, and pork, with a thick layer of oil and a soy sauce base that brings out the flavor of the chicken. - Noodles: Slightly thick and straight, with good texture and a hint of wheat fragrance when chewed due to low water content. - Toppings: - Pork shoulder chashu: A ham-like flavor with a satisfying texture, packed with concentrated umami. - Chicken breast: Light umami of the meat enhanced with a hint of saltiness and a subtle acidity to bring out the flavor. - Boiled egg: The mild richness of the yolk enhanced with a touch of saltiness for impact. - Menma: Soft texture with a hint of acidity layered with well-infused flavor. - Others: Green onions, shredded red pepper, potatoes. Tiger's Report: The soup, which looks dense, combines the rich umami extracted from chicken with a mild pork bone base, creating a body with a viscosity that clings to the lips without feeling heavy. The low water content and supple texture of the noodles allow them to absorb the soup well, releasing a gentle wheat aroma followed by a harmonious blend of flavors and umami from the soup and noodles. The unique toppings, including potatoes, add an impactful touch to this chicken white broth ramen. #MenyaGARYU∞ #OsakaRamen #ChickenWhiteBrothRamen #Ramen #Noodles #Chashu #Ajitama #NoodleLover #RamenLover #RamenLife #RamenClub #RamenFoodie #RamenHunt #RamenPatrol
