I visited the Ganlan Beef Noodle restaurant at the Namba Ramen Ichiza store. Located in Chuo-ku, Osaka City, the nearest station is Namba Station on various lines. It is located on the 9th floor of the Edion Namba store, inside Namba Ramen Ichiza. This is a new store that opened on April 15th (Friday) and is a branch of the "Ganlan Beef Noodle Nipponbashi Store" located near Tanimachi 9-chome in Chuo-ku, Osaka City. It is located in the former location of the recently closed "Taiwan Tantanmen" restaurant. I visited the Ganlan Beef Noodle Nipponbashi Store two years ago and loved the taste, so I definitely wanted to try it at Namba Ramen Ichiza when they opened a branch. I arrived before opening with determination and entered on the first round. The types of ramen available are Ganlan Beef Noodle, Ganlan Mixed Noodles (Banmen), and Ganlan Fried Noodles, with a variety of toppings and side menu items available. I ordered the Ganlan Beef Noodle in large size with secret egg, crunchy wood ear mushroom salad, special beef, and rice. On this day, there was a grand opening campaign where the Ganlan Beef Noodle was discounted from 890 yen to 590 yen, and I also received a complimentary special beef for following them on Instagram and posting. You can choose from normal (110g), large (130g), and extra-large (150g) noodle portions, with the large size being the same price as normal. I chose the thin (thin noodles) option. The roots of Ganlan Beef Noodle date back to 1915 in Lanzhou, China, where it started as "Re Guozi Noodles" sold by carrying a balance pole. It has evolved over a hundred years through the efforts and innovations of predecessors to become the noodle dish it is today, known for its refreshing and stomach-friendly soup. In Lanzhou, it is a tradition to eat it from 6 am. The soup is made from beef bone and soy sauce base, combined with special spicy oil, various spices, black vinegar, etc., giving it a unique aroma of spices, light and refreshing taste with depth, and a mild soy sauce flavor. The spicy oil and spices add heat and punch to it. Although it may seem like there is a lot of spicy oil and heat, the spiciness is just right, giving a pleasant spicy kick, and the oil is not overwhelming but enhances the richness. I chose thin noodles, which are homemade thin straight noodles with a smooth surface, a good elasticity and smooth texture. The noodles are quite long. The toppings include beef, simmered daikon radish, coriander, green onions, and secret egg. The beef is made from beef belly, the same as the special beef served separately, tender and flavorful without excess fat, making it moist and healthy. The simmered daikon radish has a gentle flavor that pairs well with the aroma and texture of coriander. The secret egg, served separately, is slightly hard-boiled with a flavorful taste. The instructions on the tray guide you to first taste the white soup, which is smooth with a rich flavor and a light and refreshing taste. Mixing the noodles with the soup creates a delicious blend of flavors, and as you eat, the spicy oil naturally mixes in, adding richness and punch. There are spicy oil and black vinegar on the table, allowing you to adjust the flavor to your liking. Adding spicy oil enhances the aroma and spice, making it deliciously flavorful. Adding vinegar gives it a refreshing taste. The crunchy wood ear mushroom salad is a Chinese salad with wood ear mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, and chili peppers, lightly seasoned for a refreshing and healthy dish. The special beef is the same meat as the toppings, but topped with coriander, spicy miso sauce, and grated garlic. It also has a refreshing flavor. Ganlan Beef Noodle + Large + Secret Egg ===========
