Zaru Ramen Tamagoro Kuromon Honten‼️ Located in Namba, Osaka‼️ At Kuromon Market‼️ It's hot but crowded with people‼️ Seems like the inbound tourism from before the pandemic is back‼️ It's a bit challenging to walk through the foreign tourists‼️ This time, I tried the Ajitama Shio Niboshi Ramen with Yuzu and Mitsuba topping‼️ The pork bone soup with added niboshi is lightly flavored, combined with a salt-based sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds‼️ The slightly curly medium-thick noodles go well with the light salt niboshi soup‼️ The texture of the white leeks, the aroma of the Mitsuba, and the spiciness of the shredded red pepper are delicious‼️ The separate plate of Yuzu and Mitsuba adds a nice flavor‼️ The classic Menma is crunchy‼️ The seasoned egg on top has a rich yolk‼️ The chashu is lean, meaty, with a good chewy texture‼️ Adding the niboshi vinegar from the table halfway through to add a bit of acidity is also good‼️ It was a delicious bowl with a light and tasty niboshi and salt flavor‼️

When Mr. Tamagoro was in Higashi-Shinsaibashi (which is no longer there), he used to frequent a shop a lot! At most, he would go there eight times a week (in the evening and in the morning). I just love it! I always get the green onion topping. It just goes so well with Mr. Tamagoro's ramen... The flavor of the white onion complements the anchovy-based soup so well! It's also good with white rice! My friends like Mr. Tamagoro's tsukemen, but I prefer the regular ramen. Surprisingly, this was my first post. There are shops in various locations, so it's easy to visit! When you see a shop in town, you'll crave their ramen! Thank you for the meal!

I used to frequent Tamagoro Kuromon-ten before they relocated. It had been about 6-7 years since I last visited. Today, I ordered the special simmered sardine ramen. The last time I ate here, the impression wasn't great, but the taste seems to have returned to how it was before the move. I would like to try the tsukemen next time. Thank you for the meal!

This is Ramen Tamagoro Kuromon Honten‼️ It's lunchtime during work‼️ It's 12:40 PM, in Nihonbashi, inside Kuromon Market‼️ There are a few customers inside‼️ This time, I had the salt-flavored ramen with dried sardines‼️ I also added yuzu and mitsuba as toppings‼️ The soup is a light salt-based soup made with pork bone and dried sardines‼️ It's deliciously light‼️ The slightly curly medium-thick noodles have a strong texture that goes well with the light pork bone and dried sardine soup‼️ On top of the noodles, there are shiso leaves and shredded red chili pepper, adding a nice kick to the flavor‼️ I added mitsuba and yuzu halfway through, enhancing the lightness of the dish even more‼️ The crunchy menma, diced chashu, and flavorful seasoned egg are all delicious‼️ The seasoned egg has a rich and delicious yolk‼️ I added sardine vinegar halfway through for a perfect touch of acidity‼️ After finishing the noodles, of course, I had a soup refill‼️ They warm it up for you instead of giving it in a pot‼️ It was a deliciously light bowl of ramen until the very end‼️

The absence of wind makes the cold of midwinter feel like a lie on a day like today. The shy sunlight beckons, and I decide to take a two-station subway journey for lunch. However, the restaurant I had in mind had a sign saying "Closed for a certain period." I see, it's becoming more common for restaurants to take breaks like this. Some establishments even receive financial aid, which can increase their income. It's a business decision. I have visited the Niboshi Ramen Tamagoro Honmachi branch near my workplace a few times. It's part of the same chain, so I feel a sense of security that it will be "foolproof." I stand in front of the ticket machine and hesitate a bit. There are significantly more options here compared to the Honmachi branch. It's overwhelming. So, I just randomly select something as usual. - Special Niboshi Ramen: 1,000 yen It's been a while since I had a ramen that costs four digits. The small shop has an L-shaped counter, and there are only two other customers. The ramen is made in a smooth and flowing process. Watching this scene is never boring. Ta-da! A bowl with a big impact arrives. - Thick slices of chashu (roast pork): 3 pieces - The seasoned egg is a whole egg, not just half - The bamboo shoots are plentiful The cute Naruto fish cake perched in the center catches my eye. The soul of Tamagoro is its soup. Slurp slurp slurp! Delicious! The soup is consistently tasty, and this niboshi (dried baby sardine) broth is exquisite. I take a big bite of the thick chashu. Oh, the meatiness is incredible. I'll devour the crunchy bamboo shoots too. It's a joy to savor the texture. The egg yolk glistens in orange. It must be a special egg. When it comes to Tamagoro, it's all about curly noodles. The chewy curly noodles have a bounce to them that's enjoyable. They mix well with the soup, so you get to fully appreciate the original flavors every time. Before I know it, all the solid ingredients are gone. Even after finishing the soup, I don't feel heavy or thirsty. Niboshi broth might actually be healthy, I think. Despite feeling like a bit pricey at 1,000 yen, I am completely satisfied with the meal. Thank you for the feast.

I came back to Tamagoro after a long time. I used to go there often, but today I visited the main store in Kuromon Market in Osaka. The curly noodles with rich bonito soup were exquisite, still delicious as always! I wanted to eat a lot today, so I had the chashu rice bowl and water dumplings set. Both were delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Hello. This is Shunmama. For lunch on September 3rd, I actually had noodles again. The ramen I had the day before didn't quite hit the spot, so I found myself back at a ramen shop. But I thought having ramen two days in a row might be a bit much, so I decided to go for "tsukemen" instead. It had been a while since I visited "Niboshi Ramen Tamagoro." I didn't realize they had a main shop in Kuromon? Or is it just the name? I had the niboshi tsukemen and added a seasoned egg. There was only one other customer as it was just before 2 pm. The noodles were thick and firm, perfect for dipping into the niboshi soup. I used to be really impressed by this niboshi tsukemen in the past, but now it doesn't quite excite me as much. Maybe because I've tried so many different places. The noodles and dipping broth were still good though, well-balanced. I hope the place gets more lively again when the tourists start coming back. #tsukemen #tsukemenlunch #2daysinarow #ramenshop #NiboshiRamenTamagoro #niboshiramen #OsakaLunch #OsakaGourmet

For lunch, I went to Kuromon Market in Namba. It's been a while since I last visited, and it was surprisingly quiet. I walked around and noticed that "Tamagoro" had changed its menu. They no longer serve noodles and were running low on soup stock. Of course, I had to try it! I topped it off with my favorite spicy seasoning and it was delicious! Thank you for the meal! It was so tasty!

I visited the restaurant "Niboshi Ramen Tamagoro Kuromon Honten" located in Kuromon Market for lunch that day. In the past, it was impossible to have lunch at Kuromon Market because there were too many overseas customers, but due to the current situation, I was able to visit. I purchased the "Salt Niboshi Ramen 800 yen" from the ticket machine at Tamagoro, a long time no see. Although it is called salt, the ramen doesn't look salty at all, and it is the signature Niboshi ramen of Tamagoro. When I took a bite, it brought back nostalgic memories. Nowadays, there are many varieties of Niboshi ramen, but I believe it was the power of Tamagoro that made this ramen famous. It was delicious to eat after a long time! Thank you for the meal!

I'm not a big fan of dried fish flavors, but this ramen had a strong anchovy taste without any fishy smell, so I was able to finish the broth. Despite looking rich, it was surprisingly light when I tasted it. The medium-thick curly noodles were delicious, perfectly coated with the soup. They were chewy and flavorful.

I had tsukemen at Ramen Tamajirou, known for their dried fish ramen. As expected from a chain with multiple locations, it was consistently delicious. I quite like tsukemen, but this one didn't have an extremely strong dried fish flavor. Perhaps a flavor that is too distinctive wouldn't work well for a chain with many branches. I also tried their ramen, and I think I prefer it over the tsukemen (lol). Even though tsukemen is great for the hot summer, taste-wise, I think I prefer ramen. I'll have to go back in July for some cold ramen! ( ´▽｀)

As part of Genki Factory, they have expanded to 11 stores in Osaka and 1 in Kobe. The Niboshi Ramen at the main store offers a consistent and delicious flavor. While it may not stand out, it is a tasty and easy-to-eat bowl of ramen. I would like to try their tsukemen at another branch in the future.

Located a 3-5 minute walk from Nihonbashi Station, Ramen restaurant "Niboshi Ramen Tamagoro Kuromon Honten". Their specialty is a slightly bitter, Japanese-style broth made with dried sardines, which is loved by many people and has branches all over the country. Among them, the Kuromon Honten branch is popular with overseas travelers and has high ratings. This time, I ordered the special Niboshi Ramen with seasoned egg and chashu. The soup not only has the aroma of dried sardines but also the richness of the meat fat, and it goes perfectly with the medium-thick noodles, providing a satisfying meal! If you want to try classic ramen in the Nihonbashi area, be sure to visit this place. Thank you for the meal!

After drinking at Futarou and Kandonn, on the way back to the hotel, someone said they wanted to eat ramen, so we visited Tamagoro Kuromon-ten for a finishing ramen. We entered the store and as usual, purchased the Ajitama Niboshi Ramen for 830 yen from the ticket machine. We sat at the counter seat and in about 5 minutes, the Ajitama Niboshi Ramen was served. It looked delicious in its simplicity. First, I took a sip of the soup. The savory flavor of the dried sardines after drinking was irresistible. The noodles were smooth and had a good texture. I quickly ate the flavored egg and chashu and finished the meal. Thank you for the meal.

On this day, after drinking until morning, I stumbled into the bustling Kuromon Market, which is crowded with tourists on my way home. I thought I would buy breakfast and go home, but guess what, it's open in the morning! Truly amazing, Tamagoro-san! Let's go in! Cheerful staff greeted me energetically in the morning, which felt great! I pressed the food ticket machine and handed it to the staff. I ordered the special spicy dipping noodles. After a short wait, it arrived. The noodles were thick and curly, with a good texture from being rinsed in cold water! The dipping sauce looked bright red, but had just the right amount of spiciness. Menma and diced chashu were hidden in it. The chashu that came with the special was also delicious! I enjoyed it until the end without getting tired of it! It's been a while since I had Tamagoro, and it's still reliable! It's a bonito-based broth, but it was very easy to eat without any fishy smell or strong taste! I'm full! Thank you for the meal.

I went to Namba in Osaka and ended up having lunch quite late. I found this restaurant that offers all-day service and decided to try it out since I love niboshi (dried baby sardines). They had regular niboshi ramen and a limited edition Bali niboshi ramen. I wanted something rich, so I ordered the Bali niboshi ramen for 850 yen. It looked quite intense, but it wasn't as strong as I expected. However, the soup was very easy to drink, and I almost finished it in one go. I would like to try the regular version next time and compare the two.

I have only eaten tsukemen a few times in my life. I decided to challenge myself to understand the appeal of tsukemen, which has now become popular in Osaka. However, as a fan of soup-based dishes, I retired from the trend before it really took off. One reason for this was that I tended to visit shops that did not offer the option to dilute the dipping sauce with soup, and another reason was that I prefer to eat hot food while it is still hot. Nevertheless, I believe it is important to adapt and try new things, so I visited Tamagoro to try their tsukemen. They offer a variety of tsukemen options, from standard to salted and spicy dried fish flavors. As a tsukemen novice, I opted for the special tsukemen with toppings like chashu and seasoned egg. At the ticket machine inside the restaurant, you can choose the size of your noodles - regular, large, or special. I went with regular, but found the portion to be quite generous. The dipping sauce was rich and thick. At the end, you can dilute the sauce with soup from a pot. I poured in a lot of soup, but it was still too strong for my liking. I had thought that diluting the sauce with soup would create a light and enjoyable finish, but it seems that's not the case. I still have a lot to learn. Thank you for the meal.

It's 10:30 am on a holiday at Kuromon Market. Despite the temporary impact of a previous typhoon, the market was quite crowded on this day. Tamagoro is located off the main street of the market, with a unified Tamagoro-colored exterior like other shops. Inside, the majority of customers were of Chinese descent, and the staff, who could speak Chinese, skillfully guided them. First, you purchase a meal ticket from the ticket machine, then you are seated at a wooden L-shaped counter where you hand over your meal ticket. The menu features two main items: shoyu ramen and tsukemen with dried sardines, as well as a unique topping of water dumplings. As a limited-time special until the end of the year, they also offered Bali-style dried sardine ramen. I ordered the Bali-style ramen, which arrived in 7-8 minutes. The soup had a strong, dark grey color with a smoky dried sardine flavor mixed with pork bone broth. It had a higher level of dried sardines compared to the normal version, but it was not overpowering and even those who are not big fans of dried sardines would enjoy it. The noodles were the classic curly Tsukemen noodles, which stood out in the strong dried sardine soup. The toppings included thick slices of chashu pork, menma, chopped onions, narutomaki, and clams, with a generous amount of crushed dried sardines at the bottom. This was my second time trying the Bali-style ramen at Tamagoro, and I felt that this time the dried sardine flavor was even stronger. It was delicious.

In mid-September 2018, after eating ramen at "Kamiza," I wanted to eat another delicious ramen so I searched on Tabelog while returning to the area around Sennichimae. I avoided the place I was looking for because it was either tonkotsu or chicken broth, and instead, I found a sign for Kuromon Market across the intersection, so I decided to check it out. Even though it was late and some shops were closed, I explored the market. That's when I found this restaurant! I checked the reviews on Tabelog, but surprisingly, I wasn't very hungry, so my friend and I stood in front of the shop discussing for a while. We decided to go in anyway! Inside, there was a ticket machine on the left with the menu. I hesitated between the seasonal limited edition "Autumn Swordfish Niboshi Tsukemen" for 900 yen and the "Niboshi Ramen" for 730 yen. With the recommendation of the owner, we ordered both. Both had a strong and delicious scent of niboshi without any bitterness or unpleasantness, and the noodles were chewy and delicious. Both the noodles and the soup were delicious at this restaurant! It was a great find. It was very delicious. Thank you for the meal.
