I used to really enjoy going there, but the taste has changed. What's worse is that it's too crowded! Even though it was busy during lunch peak hours, the service was slow and the presentation of the donburi, karaage, and gyoza I ordered as sides was sloppy and not good. I won't go back. The staff is very friendly and the parking lot is spacious and easy to park in, so it's convenient to stop by during work breaks. It seems like 95% of the customers during the day are male.

Today, I had dinner with my family. We have been here many times and tried various ramen dishes, but I still think that the Yume Ramen is the most delicious. The rich and creamy, as well as the Japanese-style tonkotsu ramen, are also good, but the most balanced one is definitely this one. The parking lot is spacious and the restaurant is large, which is convenient. The staff is always cheerful, which is nice.

Dream House Ramen for 980 yen, Chashu Don for 430 yen, Gyoza for 430 yen. The ramen was delicious with a rich tonkotsu flavor. The Chashu Don was satisfying with a good amount of food. The gyoza had a hint of shiso flavor, but the cost performance was not the best. I would like to come back to order ramen and a bowl again. Also, I was impressed by how quickly the staff brought a pitcher of cold water when it ran out, and it was ice cold. I will definitely be back! Thank you for the meal! ^_^

This day was a weekday off. While considering where to have lunch during a drive around the area, I happened to come across a ramen shop right in front of me! So, I decided to drop in at "Ramen Yume Yatai Daito Branch" for a visit. The location is at a busy intersection near the exit from National Route 170 and Hankai Road towards Nara. As soon as I entered, I was greeted by the energetic staff, and the customer service was great. The shop is not new, but it feels clean. There are alcohol and a large industrial fan near the entrance, and partitions between tables and counter seats, which gives a good impression of their business style during the pandemic. I was seated at a table by the window. Looking at the menu, there were quite a variety of options, but as it was my first visit, I chose the most orthodox and rich tonkotsu-based Yume Ramen (tax included 980 yen). They use a large amount of pork bones and simmer them over high heat to bring out the umami in the rich soup. I chose the firmness of the noodles to be firm, as recommended. Lunch menus and children's set menus were also available. The staff brought the order to me. The soup, being rich, had a small amount, covered by ingredients. It looks visually striking. So, let's dig in! First, the soup. It is thick as expected, with a high viscosity. However, for some reason, the saltiness is strong, and the saltiness is felt before the umami of the pork bones, which is a bit of a shame. Maybe it's just me? The noodles are thin and easy to eat, with a good balance of firmness and chewiness, making it delicious. The chashu and the minced meat in the middle are seasoned strongly. The bamboo shoots and two sheets of seaweed helped to refresh the palate. Itadakimasu. Personally, I wished I could taste more of the umami of the pork bones, but it might be just right as a side dish with rice. It could be perfect after sweating a bit.

I ordered the spicy hormone miso ramen. It cost 850 yen. The spiciness was similar to the ichimi togarashi on the table, which paired well with the miso ramen. It warmed up my body nicely. The level of spiciness was about a 3 at Coco Ichibanya, allowing me to enjoy the heat while eating. The hormone was sweet and served as a nice accent.

Sunday 13:15, there were a few people waiting outside. Waited about 5 minutes to get in. They have a new super spicy menu starting today! - Super Spicy Hormone Miso Ramen ¥830 - Chashu Rice with Japanese-style Mayo ¥360 Arrived in 7-8 minutes. Chashu rice with Japanese-style mayo. Just okay. The rice portion was decent for a mini bowl! As for the ramen, first of all, it looked nothing like the picture. Lots of green onions, but not much chili peppers? This might be something to complain about. Well, as long as it's tasty and spicy... Slurp slurp... Hmm, it's okay. It's not really up to par with the spicy trend nowadays. It's about the level of spiciness you can handle if you eat CoCo Ichibanya's level 3 spicy. Didn't really feel the umami flavor of the hormone, just felt like a slightly spicy regular ramen. It's not bad, but if asked if I want to eat it again, I would definitely choose something else. Disappointing.

A little while ago, after finishing my manhole cover collection, I decided to have lunch. I ended up in Daito City, so I looked up a place nearby to eat and found Ramen Yatai Daito. I had been to the Itami and Amagasaki locations before, but this was my first time at the Daito store. It's been about 15-16 years since I used to frequent the Itami store, and I only visited the new location once 5 years ago. Time flies by so quickly. The sign mentioned "rich flavor," and indeed, they seem to focus on richness. The soup's richness level was indicated as 13% that day. I wonder what it usually is? The menu mainly consists of rich tonkotsu-based Dream Ramen and aged soy sauce Niku Shoyu Ramen. There are also options like tsukemen available. I remember the menu used to be handwritten, which made it difficult to explain to foreign visitors when I went with them. This time, since it had been a while, I decided on the Dream Niku Ramen (940 yen) with 3 types of meat toppings. The ramen came with 3 kinds of chashu, seaweed, green onions, and more toppings. The soup was rich and thick. The chashu was flavorful and substantial. The noodles were thin and straight, but they paired well with the rich soup. Even eating normally, the soup quickly disappeared. It had been a while since I had such a rich ramen, but it was still delicious. It was a taste that made me want to eat it again.

I visited a family-run restaurant where three generations were having lunch. The storefront had a strong recommendation for their ramen. I ordered the Dream Ramen (rich), my wife ordered the Rich Miso Ramen, and my daughter ordered the Bean Sprout and Pork Soy Sauce Ramen. The Dream Ramen had a rich soup with meat miso on top, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. The Rich Miso Ramen had a strong miso flavor, which was quite delicious. The Bean Sprout and Pork Soy Sauce Ramen was very hearty with lots of bean sprouts and pork belly, but the soup had a strong seafood taste, which I felt could be toned down a bit. The table was quite dirty, so I had to wipe it down, and the duster was full of colors. Thank you for the meal.

For today's lunch, I went to "Ramen Yume Yatai" along the Daito City Outer Ring Road near Suminodo Station on the Gakken Toshi Line. This place has its main store in Amagasaki, and I have been there a few times in the past. The soy sauce ramen with flavored egg and cod roe rice tasted just like before, in a good way. The soup has a soy sauce flavor with chicken broth, and you can taste the sweetness of the vegetables. It's similar to the sweetness of Hyogo-style ramen. The noodles are medium-thick straight noodles with a nice texture, making it a favorite combination for ramen lovers like me. Among chain restaurants, this ramen shop is one of my favorites.

This is one of the ramen shops I often visit! I usually have ramen, but today I tried the seafood tsukemen for the first time! It comes with 300g of noodles! The seafood flavor was strong and delicious, but I was a bit disappointed with the noodles! They lacked firmness and were a bit too dry, lacking the chewiness you expect from tsukemen noodles. However, other than that, it was delicious! The gyoza was also great, with a perfect balance of flavor with the green onions! The amazing thing about this place is the excellent customer service and the efficient teamwork of the staff! They are polite and work together seamlessly! I noticed an advertisement for a sister store in Nishinomiya, so I would like to visit that as well. The best part is that they have a free and spacious parking lot, which is convenient. I definitely want to come back here again. Keep up the good work, staff members!

In April of the 2nd year of Reiwa, during lunchtime (11:00-16:00), I had the dream ramen without seasoned egg for 820 yen including tax. The gyoza was free with a coupon for registering on LINE, which was much appreciated. The ramen was delicious, and they offer a variety of set menus with great cost performance.

Yumeya, with its main store in Amagasaki and several branches in the Kansai region, is known for its rich and flavorful ramen. The reviewer visited the branch in Nishinomiya, which is conveniently located by a busy roadside with a large parking lot. Inside the restaurant, there is a sign indicating the percentage of soup concentration for the day's ramen. The Yume Ramen, priced at 820 yen, features a pork bone and soy sauce-based broth with toppings such as meat miso, egg, chashu, green onions, menma, and seaweed. The soup is thick and murky, but not overly heavy, with a lingering seafood flavor. The noodles are thin and straight, with a good firmness that complements the broth well. However, the reviewer found the meat miso topping to be too intense, overpowering the overall flavor of the soup. Overall, Yumeya offers a satisfying and filling ramen experience for those who enjoy rich and flavorful broth.

I occasionally crave for rich and hearty ramen like those from Tenka Ippin or Mutteppou. I hadn't eaten it for a while, but on this day, I had some errands near this restaurant, so I decided to stop by on my way back. I had been wanting to try their famous Gekinoukou Yume Ramen for a while. It was lunchtime, but since it was a weekday, I was able to enter without much of a wait. I was seated at the counter and quickly ordered the Gekinoukou Yume Ramen and rice. After about 10 minutes, the ramen and rice were served. Looking into the bowl, I saw thin noodles topped with chashu, menma, two sheets of seaweed, green onions, and what seemed like minced meat. But the most striking thing was the thick, creamy soup. When I scooped it up with a spoon, I was surprised by its viscosity – it was so thick that the spoon could stand upright in it. I tasted the soup first. It had a powdery texture, despite its incredible thickness. While it had hints of pork bone and seafood flavors, the umami seemed lacking. Next, I tried the noodles. They were firm and thin, allowing the soup to cling well to them. Because of the soup's high viscosity, I couldn't slurp the noodles in the usual way; instead, I had to lift them up, chew, and swallow. There were condiments like garlic and garlic miso, so I added plenty despite having work later. This enhanced the umami significantly. As I sipped the garlicky soup, ate the rice, and slurped the noodles, I gradually felt full. Although it was a rich ramen, it didn't quite have the depth of flavor like Mutteppou or Tenka Ippin, at least for me. Looking around, I noticed nearby university students ordering the same ramen. It was filling and had a decent portion, which might suit their student appetites. Unfortunately, it didn't quite match my taste. Next time, I'd like to try their regular Yume Ramen or tsukemen.

Today's lunch was at Yume Yatai Ramen. I've been there a few times but this is my first post. Well, the regular ramen is delicious, but since I like rich flavors, I ordered the super rich Yume Ramen. I added extra garlic for an even richer taste! It was even richer than I imagined, and I ended up feeling a bit full. But it was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

When I was smoothly driving towards Akamaru, I got stuck in traffic in Nara. Looks like I hit the rush hour traffic. If I continue like this, it seems impossible to reach Akamaru, so I decided to go back to Yumeyatai where I had been curious about last week. Unlike last time at lunch, the restaurant was empty so I could easily find a seat. I ordered the rich dream mixed noodles and white rice. The noodles cannot be served in a large portion and the egg yolk is provided separately. Mix well before eating. Although the menu describes it as rich, it's actually just a bit rich, not extremely rich. Maybe because I thought last week's super rich dream ramen was too rich, that's why I feel this way. Adding the egg yolk made it too mellow and lacking punch. I added some chopped leeks with chili and grated garlic from the table, and the flavors started to come together nicely. Adding some coarse ground black pepper was a perfect match. The noodles were medium thick and had a chewy texture that went well with the sauce. It might be considered rich enough in a regular restaurant, but compared to the super rich offering at Yumeyatai, it felt a bit lacking in punch. Should I have ordered tsukemen instead? I'll come back again sometime.

The final shop in the intense 3-shop showdown is Yume Yatai. The main store seems to be located in Amagasaki. This shop is often seen when heading towards Osaka on the Hankai Road, but I first learned the name of the shop from a certain video (laughs). Unlike the previous two shops, the inside of this shop is overflowing with waiting customers. So, I waited outside for a while before entering. Looking at the waiting customers inside the shop, there are many people who seem to be working hard, I guess. I ordered the super rich Yume Ramen here. The menu says that it's so thick that the chopsticks can stand in it, but if the chopsticks can stand, I thought the ladle could stand too... Oh! It stood (laughs). The well-cooked tonkotsu soup is a type with a powdery, grainy texture on the palate. This texture is similar to Tenkaippin. The viscosity is close to Ooarai-tei in Higashi-Kariya in terms of a rich, thick feeling. It's more like eating the soup than drinking it. It's more like mazemen than ramen. The noodles are thin noodles. They are the type that is springy and clings to the soup. The noodles are easy to slurp, similar to Mario-ryu in Shintomiya. The chashu has a slightly ginger-like flavor, maybe? This seasoning works well with the super rich soup in a good way. The flavored egg has a strong flavor. The minced meat is also seasoned with a strong flavor. Overall, this shop seems to have a strong flavor profile. Of course, I don't dislike this type, but it's not what I wanted right now (laughs). I'm curious about the mazemen, so I'll come back again.

Ramen Yatai Yumeya, Daito branch. A ramen shop along the outer ring road in the Daito area that specializes in rich and flavorful ramen. The location is good and it seems to be quite popular, but hmm... the ramen was cold and this type of ramen is starting to feel a bit heavy. It is indeed rich. Similar to Tenkaippin. Maybe I'll stick with Tenkaippin.

Today's work took me to Daito City! After a busy morning, it was time for lunch, and I stumbled upon this restaurant "Ramen Yatai Daito Branch" while driving on the outer loop. The fact that they have a large parking lot makes it easy to park, which is a plus. It was my first time visiting, and it seems that the recommended dish here is their rich and creamy tonkotsu ramen! When you think of rich ramen, you might imagine a certain famous chain, but this one is a tonkotsu-based ramen that is rich and creamy. I ordered their signature dish, the "Yume Ramen" for 850 yen (tax included). The ramen that arrived was truly thick and rich in flavor, with the soup being quite thick and creamy. It was interesting how the flavor changed as I mixed in the toppings, especially the meat. I ended up having a hearty meal for lunch. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Lunch in Daito City. It's a ramen shop that I often see in a chain store, but it's my first time here, located in the same area as McDonald's and a shoe store. The shop is named ◆ Yumera~men, with a vegetable-rich soup that is rich and creamy as its selling point. It's my first time here, so the price is 790 yen excluding tax. The soup is quite thick with a boiled egg in it, but it's not too heavy because it's full of vegetables. Personally, I prefer a soup that I can drink more of rather than one that's too heavy. It felt more like tsukemen than ramen! ◆ Goro Goro Chashu Rice costs 350 yen excluding tax, and it has a satisfying amount of egg in it. The total price of 1230 yen might be a bit high for a work lunch. I wonder if the fact that the intensity of the soup varies every day means that the taste changes every day?

I'm not sure how many times I've been here, but I revisited after a long time. Whenever I come to this restaurant, I always order the Barikata Yumeniku Ramen with Ajitama, and I have never ordered anything else. It costs a total of 1060 yen, which is quite expensive, but the taste is so unique that I always crave it again after a while. The ramen comes with three types of meat: thinly sliced chashu, finely chopped chashu, and pork belly chashu. Especially the pork belly chashu is like a chunk of braised pork belly cooked in a pressure cooker, with multiple pieces rolling around. Instead of fatty meat, the melted cartilage (?) becomes soft and sticky, giving it a unique and exquisite texture when you bite into it. The Ajitama is also exceptional, being in between liquid and solid, slightly more liquid-like, with the yolk flowing out delicately.
