This restaurant used to serve Nagahama ramen, so I had visited a few times before. However, the name of the restaurant changed partially at some point, and since then I had not visited at all. Today, I happened to be in Tani 9 during lunchtime, so I decided to visit! The curry ramen that used to be on the menu was gone, and a new soy sauce ramen was introduced. But I was there for the Nagahama ramen, so I purchased a ticket for the pork bone Nagahama ramen and entered the restaurant. I arrived around 11:30, so I was the only one in the restaurant. An employee was busy making fried rice, so I waited for a minute or two while drinking water. The employee then came to take my ticket and I waited a bit for my ramen. There were condiments like ramen sauce, garlic, sesame, and pickled ginger on the counter, and I noticed the garlic which was not there before. When the ramen arrived in about 3-4 minutes, I asked to put garlic in it, and I enjoyed the ramen as it was. The pork bone flavor seemed to have increased, but the soup was still light and not too heavy. The noodles were straight and had a firm texture, which I liked. As I ate, I decided to order an extra serving of noodles and first added sesame. After a few bites, I ordered the extra noodles and added garlic for flavor. I added ginger when the extra noodles arrived, and I enjoyed the second serving of ramen with the added flavors. Towards the end, I added too much ginger which made the soup a bit salty, so I reflected on that. Despite that, I finished the extra noodles and soup and left the restaurant feeling satisfied. I am truly grateful for this restaurant where I can enjoy delicious Nagahama ramen in the midst of famous and unique restaurants in the Tani 9 area. Thank you for the delicious Nagahama ramen!

While looking for lunch in Tamachi 9-chome, I stumbled upon my favorite Nagahama ramen. When I went in, the restaurant was quite empty. I ordered ramen with firm noodles and extra noodles. The soup was decent, but the noodles were a bit rubbery and quite different from authentic Nagahama ramen. The meat could also use a bit more saltiness.

The restaurant is located about a 3-4 minute walk west from Exit 3 of Osaka Metro Tanimachi Kyuchome Station. Upon entering, you will be guided to the counter seats. I had the Hakata Tonkotsu Nagahama Ramen here. Soon, the ramen was brought to me. It contained chashu pork and green onions. The noodles were thin and straight. I chose them to be firm. The soup was tonkotsu flavored, with a rich pork bone taste complemented by a hint of salt. The noodles slid smoothly into the soup. The meaty flavor of the chashu and the texture of the green onions enhanced the ramen. You can customize the taste with the red pickled ginger and garlic on the table. I ordered an extra serving of noodles and enjoyed changing the flavor. I look forward to trying the soy sauce ramen next time. Thank you for the meal.

Located about a 3-4 minute walk from Exit 3 of Tanimachi Kyuchome Station, this ramen shop offers both counter and table seating. When I visited on a weekday evening, there were about 4 other customers already there. I ordered the Hakata Tonkotsu Nagahama Ramen for 750 yen and a half order of fried rice for 350 yen. The soup had a light tonkotsu flavor typical of Nagahama ramen, with a hint of salt adding depth and richness. The noodles were thin and straight, with the option to choose their firmness. The toppings were simple, consisting of chashu pork and green onions. I enjoyed adding flavor variations using the red pickled ginger and garlic provided on the table. The half order of fried rice was unique with its generous portions of pickled vegetables and fish cakes, and the seasoning was just right. It paired perfectly with the light tonkotsu ramen and was delicious.

The taste at this place for this price is quite difficult to beat, but I personally love it. I think it's better than Ippudo or Ichiran. It's light yet flavorful, and when you change the taste with the condiments on the table, it becomes rich and intense. Excellent. Even if you get an extra serving, you'll still get change from 1000 yen.

A ramen shop that looks like the original Nagahama Ramen. The taste feels similar too. If the taste is too light, you can add sauce from the table (be careful, it's quite spicy if you add too much). It's super delicious when you add sesame and red pickled ginger. A place you'd want to visit after finishing your drink. Thank you for the meal!

The day after drinking, I found Nagahama Ramen on TikTok. I really wanted to eat Nagahama Ramen, so I rode my bike as fast as I could to get there. It was light and easy to eat. I put too much sauce in the ramen, so it became too salty. I want to be careful not to put too much in next time. I casually ordered the extra firm noodles for the first time. It was my extra firm debut.

In Osaka, you can enjoy authentic flavors at this restaurant located a little west of Tani 9. Here, you can taste a simple yet close-to-authentic bowl of noodles. The fried rice is also delicious! It was a tasty meal, thank you. ---------------------- Nagahama Ramen Kuni-eyi Tamaya 1F Samejima Building, 9-16 Namiki-cho, Tennoji-ku, Osaka ---------------------- #Tani 9 Gourmet #Uehommachi Gourmet #Osaka Gourmet #Kansai Gourmet #Gannaga #Tamaya #Nagahama Ramen Kuni-eyi Tamaya #Ramen #Japanese food Follow me on Instagram @kazstagram369, TikTok @kazzz48, and Lemon8 @kazzz369 for the latest updates on affordable restaurants in Osaka and beyond.

This is a review of Hatsu Nagahama Ramen. The shop has a simple atmosphere, which may make it a bit intimidating for women to enter. The noodles are slightly thicker compared to the commonly eaten Hakata tonkotsu ramen. The broth is light and easy to eat, without any unpleasant smell. The char siu pork is thinly sliced and slightly salty. Toppings such as pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and garlic are provided on the table. Additionally, there is a pot of broth available for adding more flavor, but the ramen itself is not bland at all. The pickled mustard greens are available for an extra charge.

"Original Nagahama Ramen Tamaya" seems to have undergone a renewal after becoming independent. The sign has changed, but the menu remains the same. The ticket vending machine is gone and now they operate on a pay-after system. Previously, Nagahama Ramen was around 600 yen, but now it is 748 yen including tax. The ramen has a light tonkotsu soup base, and customers can customize the flavor with toppings like sauce, sesame, and garlic. I found it a bit light on its own, but adjusting the toppings made it delicious. They are open until midnight, so it's a good spot for a late-night ramen fix.

I probably won't order the very light fried rice again.

I went there twice after finishing my drink. There was no one else there and it was empty. Despite being a tonkotsu broth, it was surprisingly light, but it had a gentle taste that was just right for finishing off a drink.
