It's a taste that I crave once a month. This time, I chose the rich ramen and small fried rice. The ramen had thin noodles with a rich soup that coated the noodles well. I enjoyed the fried rice with pickled ginger on top, it had the flavor I like. Even though I just went today, I can't wait until next month to go back...

Today, I decided to eat something rich and hearty after watching Job Chune on Saturday, so I visited this restaurant. It's about a 5-minute walk from Esaka Station. It's a bit of a distance, but the weather is nice these days so it wasn't a problem. I arrived just before 2:00 PM and the restaurant was surprisingly crowded. All the tables were full and there were a few empty seats at the counter. The effect of Job Chune is amazing. I ordered the Rich and Hearty with extra noodles, because when you think of Tenkaippin, that's the only choice, right? I debated between getting rice or extra noodles, but today I wanted to enjoy the noodles so I chose the Rich and Hearty with extra noodles. The bowl arrived in less than 5 minutes. The familiar thick soup. There are many places with this type of soup these days, but Tenkaippin is still the original and the best. It's delicious. I think this soup is valuable when it's piping hot, but some places serve it lukewarm and you wonder when they put it in the bowl. This restaurant's noodles were hot and coated in the delicious soup - really tasty! I ended up finishing the entire bowl of soup, which I had stopped doing recently. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The original rich ramen is the best at Tenkaippin. The magic of spicy miso. This restaurant serves delicious fried chicken. Nowadays, many people in their 20s may not know that Tenkaippin is the origin of "thick and rich ramen," but the unforgettable deliciousness when I first tried it remains. My go-to order is the Char Siu Ramen, with extra soup, and 5-6 extra servings of spicy miso. And rice. Or the fried chicken set. This time, I had the fried chicken set (1200 yen). Among the Tenkaippin restaurants I've been to, this one stood out for having exceptionally delicious fried chicken. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a photo of the uniquely delicious fried chicken. When you come to this restaurant, make sure to get the fried chicken set with extra soup. (2023 New Standard Evaluation Points)

I took my high school son to a restaurant where we enjoyed the rich flavor that I have been familiar with since childhood. My son also liked it and said "delicious". However, it was inconvenient that they only accepted cash for payment. I would like to go there again if I have the chance.

I visited "Tenkaippin Esaka" in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture for the first time in 5 years. This branch of Tenkaippin is the closest to my home, but I had avoided it due to poor service during my last visit. It was October 1st, "Tenkaippin Day." My son and I arrived on our bicycles 15 minutes before the 11:00 am opening time. There were already 12 people waiting ahead of us, and more customers arrived behind us before the opening. The restaurant was a mix of counter and table seating, with many solo diners at the tables. We ordered a total of 2,250 yen worth of food, including a ramen set, a Tenshinhan set, and fried rice. The food was served promptly within 13 minutes, despite the restaurant being full. The ramen was rich and flavorful, and we enjoyed it with the free garlic condiments. The Tenshinhan was tasty, and the fried rice was seasoned well. Overall, I was impressed with the service this time, and I may visit this Tenkaippin branch again when I crave their rich ramen.

Due to the Wuhan fever, the Tenichi Festival, which has not been held for the past 2 years, is finally back after 3 years. This year, the festival falls on a Saturday, making it more challenging than usual. I visited the Tenichi Festival at the Jiangzaka store, which is close to my home. I had visited about 10 years ago and was honestly not impressed, but I hoped that things had improved since then. I arrived at 10:30 with plenty of time, but there were already 5 groups in line. I decided to just get the regular gyoza set for 1,110 yen, but ended up getting the large size because it was only 240 yen more. The gyoza was delicious and the soup was flavorful with added garlic on the side. The gyoza itself was just average. From this time on, they only accept coupons from their app. When the food came out, there was a line of over 20 people. Now, I need to prepare for the second match in 5 hours with some stomach medicine and exercise. Thank you for the meal!

At "Tenkaippin Jiangkan Store in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture," you can get the fried rice set (with free extra green onions) for 1040 yen. The soup is not very strong, but you can adjust the flavor with the condiments on the table. However, the seasoning is a bit light, resulting in a slightly blurry taste. The noodles are medium-thick straight noodles that go well with the soup. Toppings include green onions, bamboo shoots, and chashu. The chashu is ham-like, but it is of good quality without any unpleasant smell or dryness, making it one of the better options at Tenkaippin. It's a nice touch that you can get plenty of free green onions. The fried rice is not particularly fluffy, but it's quite delicious with a nice texture. Cashless payment is not accepted.

Fried chicken set. The fried chicken has become thick and heavy, losing its crispy texture and decreasing in volume. The biggest weakness of the Esaka branch is the thinly sliced char siu that resembles ham. The soup is average, but once again, the thin char siu is disappointing. Please change the char siu!! Please reconsider it thoroughly!! The only saving grace is that the staff are energetic and friendly. The occasional excessive chatting is a bit of a downside.

A few minutes walk from Esaka Station. Had lunch here today. The interior has counter seats and table seats. I ordered the regular rich ramen with extra green onions for free, as indicated on the menu. I also got garlic as a condiment on the side. Let's dig in! The extra green onions were definitely a lot, about double to triple the normal amount. The soup was rich and hot, unlike some disappointing places. The noodles were not clumped together, making it easy to eat. Overall, it was a pretty high-quality ramen. Thanks for the meal! Apart from the taste, the staff were energetic and friendly. While most Tenkaippin stores are located by the roadside, this one is a bit off the main road, so the main customers seem to be locals or pedestrians and cyclists passing by.

It's been a while since I visited Tenichi Esaka. The soup here is rich and incredibly delicious! Much better than other Tenichi restaurants around. I usually get the fried rice, but today I tried the Tianjin rice! It was also delicious with a good amount of volume. Kansai is a great place where you can eat what you want when you want. I'll definitely go back!

The Tenichi in Esaka is simply delicious! The staff are efficient and even when it's busy, you don't have to wait long. I'm a regular customer who goes at least once a month! While the taste of the soup can vary at different Tenichi locations, it's always delicious here. I will keep coming back!

I went to have lunch on a certain day in June 2021 during the corona pandemic. Please note that there may be closures or changes in business hours. I had the "Kotteri" ramen for 790 yen. The chicken broth soup was thick and had a rich sweet taste. The thin straight noodles were excellent at absorbing the soup. The chashu, menma, and green onions were included. I appreciated that they offered extra green onions and garlic for free. When I added the provided mustard miso, the flavor became even richer, and I finished every last drop! After the lunch rush, the restaurant was empty, and the staff kindly allowed me to sit at any table. Thank you very much. It was a delicious meal!

I am the head of the Lunch Exploration Department. This time, I visited Tenkaippin in Esaka. The location is a bit hidden away from the station. The interior of the restaurant has a vintage, cluttered atmosphere with no sense of style. The customers were all middle-aged men. I ordered the rich ramen for 720 yen. The soup was thick and sticky, with a strong animal powder flavor that clings to the palate. The saltiness was on the lower side and the flavor didn't stand out much, making it heavy. The noodles picked up a lot of soup. Despite the weak saltiness, it was strangely easy to eat. The crunchy green onions were a nice touch. Personally, I didn't really get hooked on it. Thank you for the meal.

Today's lunch is at Tenkaippin Esaka branch. I often visit this place because it's close to my workplace. The soup is from the central kitchen, but the taste can vary depending on the store, which is a mystery of Tenkaippin. I wonder if it's because of reheating the soup or the amount of soy sauce used. The rich flavor here can be considered standard. Personally, I prefer stores with a lighter soy sauce flavor, not as salty as some other places. They also have a limited spicy and rich broth option, but the main attraction here is the set meal menu. Unlike stores that focus on fried foods like tonkatsu or fried horse mackerel, this place offers mainly stir-fried dishes like sweet and sour pork, pork kimchi, and Tianjin rice. You can choose between regular noodles or thin noodles, and even the firmness of the noodles (I prefer thin and firm). Plus, extra green onions are free, which is a nice touch. It's rare for Tenkaippin to have an open kitchen view from the back counter seats. However, it's a bit disappointing that the default ramen only comes with one slice of chashu. But then again, Tenkaippin's chashu is always thin everywhere, so it's not surprising. I keep coming back every week thanks to their mini rice bowl campaign. Today, I had the rich ramen with rice. Thank you for the meal!

Today, October 1st, is the day of the famous rich and creamy ramen restaurant, Tenkaippin! It's the annual Tenkaippin festival. For every bowl of ramen you order, you'll receive a free voucher for a regular bowl of ramen. Also, from tomorrow, the 2nd, until the 14th, you can get a speed lottery ticket for a chance to win original merchandise. This year's goods are the "Rich Ramen Bowl Measure" and the "Mini Mini Bowl". There's also a stamp card campaign where you can get a "Bean Bowl". Of course, this year I will go as well (*´꒳`*) Why am I so attached to it? Because I am from the same year, 1971! And this year, I went to the Tenkaippin Esaka branch. However, this time it was different! It's true that there's usually a bit of a line on Tenkaippin Day, but this year it was crazy. When I arrived after 9 p.m., the line had over 50 people in it (；ﾞﾟ'ωﾟ'): Well, that's okay though, haha. I went inside and this time I splurged on a set meal. Fried rice set with large ramen for 1,180 yen. By the way, at the Esaka branch, you can choose the firmness of the noodles. There's no other place like Tenkaippin that lets you pick such details. You can choose from "powder off", "springy", "extra firm", "firm", "regular", and "soft". This time I went with "extra firm" (*´꒳`*) Tenkaippin is best when it's firm! The spicy miso was piled high and delicious as always. So, I got my free voucher for a regular bowl of ramen. "Tenkaippin Festival 2018" is currently ongoing! Thank you for the meal.

This day, after a long time, I had dinner at Tenichi!! I remembered that Myレビ said the "kossari" with a taste of a food stall is delicious, so I decided to go to Tenichi! I visited on a weekday after 8 pm. When I opened the sliding door, there were only 2 other customers inside. I sat at a table for 4 people and looked at the menu. There were options for "rich," "light," and the "kossari" taste that Myレビ had mentioned before. I had only tried the "rich" flavor before, so I hesitated to choose a different taste. The young female staff asked me, "Have you decided?" I said, "Um..." I said, "I'll have the gyoza set..." The young female staff asked, "And which flavor?" I said, "......Kossari(￣д￣)!! With extra green onions and garlic condiments!!" Oh no, I messed up again＿|￣|○ Today, I was determined to try the "kossari," but I ended up ordering the gyoza set (rich ramen) for 1000 yen, the usual taste. It's definitely delicious. The garlic condiments also do a great job (￣▽￣) However, when I checked the website... the calorie content for the rich ramen (regular size) is 949Kcal, while the kossari (regular size) is 665Kcal, and the light flavor is only 380Kcal, less than half. If I think about beauty and health, maybe I should have chosen the "kossari" after all (^^;) I vowed in my heart to try the "kossari" next time (laughs) That's all. Thank you.

I visited Tenkaippin Esaka store, which is located about 2 minutes west of Esaka Station along the circular line. I ordered the Kotteri ramen (720 yen) with an additional side of kimchi (120 yen). It was the annual Tenkaippin Day when I visited, so there was a short wait before I could be seated. The turnover rate was good. At Tenkaippin, you can choose between thin noodles and the regular thickness (medium thin noodles). I prefer the medium thin noodles as they seem to better soak up the soup. The Kotteri broth was as rich as always, but it felt slightly less intense this time. It was surprisingly easy to eat. I make it a tradition to have Tenkaippin ramen every October 1st. Thank you for the meal.

This is not just a genre of ramen, but a product called "Tenkaippin." I sometimes crave it. However, did the chashu change? It feels different from before... I will visit again. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I often come here because it's close to my place. Not only is the ramen delicious, but the fried rice is also really good. I always order the set menu. I also couldn't resist the free spicy miso they offer, so I'll attach a photo of the menu.

The rich and hearty large serving for 950 yen including tax. It's great that you can get extra green onions for free. The soup tastes more salty than flavorful, but you can adjust the taste with the karashi miso. Eating here makes me realize once again how delicious and smooth the soup at the main shop was. I didn't finish the soup.
