After the fireworks festival, we felt a bit hungry and decided to visit a ramen shop. It was about a 5-minute walk from the station. It was great that they had hori-gotatsu seating since we had kids with us! The atmosphere was nice too. I recommend the tonkotsu shoyu ramen! The soup was rich and delicious. I would love to visit again.

It has been a while since I visited Ishibashi in Ikeda City. My wife and I arrived at Ramen Master Matsukaze aiming for the 11 am opening. Besides us, two others were waiting for the opening as well. On the tray, there is a round container with chili oil, ichimi (Japanese red pepper), and sansho (Japanese pepper). Now, since it's my first visit, what should I choose? The special fried rice (regular) made from special lard using A fat (there are A fat, B fat, and C fat for pork back fat, with A fat being the highest rank) is like fried rice from a ramen shop without any particular taste. The special soy sauce soup is a bit dark in color, but the taste is not as strong as it looks, with the soy sauce flavor first and then the seafood flavor spreading in your mouth. It goes well with the special fried rice. The rich white sesame tantanmen can be described in one word as an elegant white sesame tantanmen. The rich flavor of white sesame is strong but not overwhelming, making it a unique ramen that you can eat as much as you want. The special handmade dumplings are made from scratch, with a small size but filled with delicious filling. Thank you for the meal!

During the state of emergency. It's already past 7 o'clock and I've only had dinner. Maybe I should try a ramen shop I haven't been to before. It's called "Men Shou Matsukaze." I'm torn between soy sauce ramen and pork bone dipping noodles, but this time I ordered the pork bone dipping noodles for 850 yen. It arrived after a while. If you order without any options, it comes with chashu and seasoned egg. The flavor is a blend of pork bone with a hint of yuzu, suitable for dipping noodles. Honestly, it's a taste I've had quite a few times. It's orthodox but stable and simply delicious. The chashu is tender and good! You can add chicken chashu for an additional 100 yen, which was a nice option to have... There are currently only 3 reviews, but I think it will become a reasonably popular shop. Due to COVID, Osaka University has shifted completely to remote learning, resulting in fewer students, but once the situation improves and students return, I believe it will become bustling!

Menya Matsukaze (Ishibashi Hankaida Mae) [Special Soy Sauce + Flavored Egg] ¥790 + ¥100 ★★★★★★★☆☆☆ Genre: Ramen Soup: Chicken, Pork, Seafood Noodles: Medium-fine wavy This is a new restaurant that opened on November 1st, and I visited it promptly as it was a relocated and renovated shop from the same Ishibashi area where Menya Matsukaze used to be. In addition to the default option, the noodle menu includes Half Soy Sauce (all half portions for ¥550), Soy Sauce Soup (noodles excluded for ¥500), Special Miso (¥790), Spicy Miso (¥850), Simple Mazesoba (¥590), Plus Mazesoba (¥690), Tonkotsu Tsukemen (¥850), and Extra Noodles (+¥100). [Soup]: The soup is a soy sauce flavor based on chicken, pork, with a hint of seafood and a slightly restrained oil content. It has a light and refreshing taste, low viscosity, with a light body. The rich umami of the animal-based slightly cloudy white broth and the elegant flavor of dried fish and seafood, combined with a rounded seasoning, create a gentle and slightly sweet taste that is very delicious! [Noodles]: The noodles are medium-fine wavy noodles from Tsurumi Seimen. The noodle portion is 120g. They are slightly shorter in length, thin yet with a very strong and bouncy texture. While the noodles have an average compatibility with the soup, the wheat flavor is well perceived and delicious. Although these noodles are tasty on their own, there may be other noodles from the same noodle maker that could have a better compatibility with the soup. [Chashu]: The chashu is a large piece of pork belly that is incredibly tender and easily falls apart. It has a slightly light seasoning, allowing the rich sweetness of the fat to be fully enjoyed and is very delicious! [Flavored Egg]: The flavored egg is soft-boiled with a slightly light seasoning. [Other Toppings]: Other toppings include white negi, menma, and nori. Additionally, you can enjoy flavor variations with table-side condiments like sansho pepper and ichimi. [Atmosphere]: The restaurant has a counter with 6 seats, two 6-seat private rooms, and one 4-seat table, totaling 22 seats. The semi-private rooms have a lively atmosphere in the evening. The friendly and cheerful customer service adds to the good impression, making it a pleasant dining experience!

The noodles, made by Tsurumi Seimenjo, are wavy and medium-thin, providing a good chewy texture and smoothness. The chashu pork is tender with just the right seasoning, allowing the meat's deliciousness to shine through. You can also adjust the flavor using condiments like shichimi, sansho pepper, and chili oil on the table. Students can enjoy free extra noodles, rice, and seasoned eggs by showing their student ID.

Special Soy Sauce Ramen (Animal + Seafood 860 yen) ★★★☆ The soup is a chicken and pork-based seafood soy sauce flavor. The noodles are slightly wavy medium straight noodles. The toppings include sliced pork belly chashu, white negi (Japanese leek), menma (bamboo shoots), and nori (seaweed). This shop, originally located in Ishibashi as "Menya Matsukaze," has relocated and reopened as "Menjo Matsukaze" near Hankyu Ishibashi Station on November 1st. I visited the shop early based on Shibukawa-san's recommendation. The soup is made from chicken, pork, and seafood, with a moderate amount of oil and a rounded soy sauce flavor that balances the umami of the animal ingredients with seafood broth. The noodles are from Tsurumi Seimenjo, with a short length and a chewy texture that is easy to slurp. The large piece of seared chashu is tender and well-seasoned, making it very delicious. You can enjoy flavor variations with the included shichimi (seven-spice blend), sansho (Japanese pepper), and chili oil. They offer a free service of "Gakumen" (student noodles), "Gakumen" (student rice), or "Gakumen" (student ramen) upon presenting a student ID. Main menu items include Special Soy Sauce Ramen: 869 yen, Half Soy Sauce Ramen: 605 yen, Soy Sauce Soup: 550 yen, Special Miso Ramen: 869 yen, Spicy Miso Ramen: 935 yen, Simple Mazesoba: 649 yen, Mazesoba Plus: 759 yen, Tonkotsu Tsukemen: 935 yen, Seasoned Egg: +110 yen, Pork Chashu: +275 yen, 2 Chicken Chashu: +275 yen, Extra Noodles: +110 yen, Special Gyoza (3 pieces): 198 yen.

The noodle soup maker is personally flawless. I had miso ramen and tsukemen. It was delicious. Thank you! I was so engrossed in eating. I only said "Wow, this menma is huge!" but ate in silence. I wasn't very hungry, but I regretted eating too much. It's hard to gauge your stomach when sitting down. I couldn't walk properly afterwards. Next time, I'll go on an empty stomach!

My favorite ramen I've ever eaten.

Great cost performance. I got double the noodles, seasoned egg, and rare chashu as a student on Instagram.

It was really delicious! If it didn't have yuzu, it might have been even more to my liking!

Visited on Saturday at 17:45, private reservation. Half soy sauce ramen for 550 yen, seasoned egg for 100 yen, extra green onions for 150 yen.
