Thick pork bone and fish broth dipping noodles for 900 yen. With an extra large portion for 150 yen, it's much larger than the usual dipping noodles at a ramen shop. The taste is on the rich side, but it's quite delicious. Since the portion is large, it's recommended to enjoy it while changing the taste with the pepper, garlic soy sauce, and vinegar on the table.

I finally had the chance to visit a restaurant that opened in the neighborhood last year and caught my attention. The staff, three women, were running the place. The menu seems to focus on rich tonkotsu ramen, but I was curious about the seafood, so I decided to order the rich tonkotsu seafood ramen. I also followed them on Twitter to get a free soft-boiled egg. The rich tonkotsu seafood ramen with a soft-boiled egg cost 890 yen. The seafood broth had a distinct fish powder flavor, which was quite tasty. It paired well with the rich tonkotsu soup and the hint of yuzu. The noodles were medium-thick and had a nice chew to them. Surprisingly, the ramen was well-made and very delicious. I visited on a Saturday around 11:30 am, and it was quite busy.

I visited during the daytime on a regular day. The store had just opened and there were still flowers displayed in front of it. I couldn't find a place to park my bike, so I assumed it was towards the station. Inside, there were plenty of seats and even coat hooks on the walls, giving it a cafe-like atmosphere. Surprisingly, there were more female customers. However, this place is a ramen shop. I ordered the special rich pork bone ramen for 1190 yen and 6 gyoza for 300 yen. The soup was rich and quite hot. It would be amazing if they added seafood to it. The noodles were on the thinner side, making them easy to eat. The chashu pork went well with the soup. The gyoza were vegetable-based, with a green color that stood out. They had a hint of garlic and were refreshing. By the time I left, I was full. One thing that bothered me was the slightly gritty texture when drinking the soup, affecting the aftertaste. Thank you for the meal.

1/21 I went to Open here. I came on 1/30 - Sunday 11:40, 6 people waiting outside. In the ramen wasteland of Shinobugaoka! Now then... There is a parking lot available at Times! All the reviewers are saying it's tonkotsu ramen, but the double soup is better, right? (just guessing) ・Special rich tonkotsu seafood ramen ¥1190 ・6 gyoza dumplings ¥300 There are tables inside and it's quite spacious. There are 5 staff members! However... there seems to be quite a bit of uncertainty in the operation, as they hardly seat anyone at the tables, mostly just at the counter. Maybe they don't want to use the tables for solo or duo customers? In any case, it feels a bit awkward. Now, onto the ramen! Hmm... it tastes like that trend of tsukemen from 10-15 years ago. The most basic flavor of tonkotsu base with fish powder. It's delicious, but I've had enough of this taste. Maybe tonkotsu would have been better? Also, the chashu... in the photos it looks pink, like a rare chashu. But when it comes out, it's cooked through. Whether you like it rare or not, if you're using a pinkish photo for aesthetics, you should change it immediately. If you can't adjust the cooking to get it right, you should research it more. The restaurant seems stable in an area where there are hardly any ramen shops, but for ramen enthusiasts, there might be some question marks.

On my day off ☆彡 For lunch on such a day ＼(^o^)／ It's gotta be ramen~✿ Today, I visited a new restaurant that opened on January 21st in Yonjōnatari. 【Menji】＼_(・ω・`) Here! I parked at a nearby coin parking lot and entered the restaurant as soon as it opened... Even though it's a weekday, there was already one person waiting before the opening. Nowadays, they have hand sanitizers and acrylic panels, so the infection prevention measures are perfect✨ I bought a ticket at the ticket machine on the right side of the entrance and ordered the Nukotta Tonkotsu Ramen (890 yen) with a soft-boiled egg topping (100 yen)✨ Soon, the bowl arrived with thick bamboo shoots, green onions, bean sprouts, seaweed, and a large slice of chashu. The chashu was tender and very delicious ( ﾟv^ ) ｵｲﾁｲ The soup was a creamy tonkotsu soy sauce with a rich and smooth flavor that lingers in your mouth, very tasty (ﾟдﾟ)ﾒﾁｬｳﾏ The noodles were thick straight noodles with a firm texture and a great chewiness, perfect for pairing with the soup (　・∀・)ｲｲ!! When I left the restaurant, there was a line of about 6 people... A popular new restaurant has been born in the ramen desert area. +*:ﾟ+｡.☆ I've found another great restaurant (*’ω’*)( ﾟv^ ) ｺﾞﾁｿｳｻﾏﾝｻ

Today, I came here. A ramen shop that opened recently near JR Gakken Toshi Line - Oshikage Station. I saw a sign that said "noodles" when they were still doing interior work a while back, so I decided to stop by based on word of mouth. The interior of the shop, with its white and wood accents, has the kitchen in the back left, a high counter with 7 seats in the front, and about 4 table seats on the right. It's run by a staff of 4 people. The menu includes "rich pork bone, rich pork bone and seafood, chicken soy sauce, and grilled" ramen, as well as "rich pork bone" tsukemen. I ordered the "rich pork bone ramen" from the ticket machine and then added water myself before sitting at the counter. After about 20 minutes, the ramen finally arrived. It was served in a small bowl with a rich, slightly cloudy pork bone soy sauce broth that had a smooth texture and was indeed rich, but without any gamey or off-putting flavors. The flat straight noodles paired well with the thick soup and had a good texture. The toppings included a large, chewy slice of pork, crunchy thick menma, seaweed, bean sprouts, green onions, and a sprinkle of black pepper. I finished it quickly, but at the bottom of the bowl, there was bone powder, making me wonder how many grams of noodles were in the bowl. Even though I have a small appetite, I could probably eat another bowl. So, honestly, the cost performance is not great. While everything came together nicely, there wasn't any standout feature. As a rival in this area, there is only "Satsuma-ko" that comes to mind, so I think they can do well enough. The service was good. Thank you for the meal. Accessibility: wheelchair accessible with a step in the middle, washlet on the left back, and a Times-affiliated parking lot nearby for easy access (see photo for reference).

I visited the new restaurant "Osaka Menji" that opened yesterday! I arrived around 12:30 PM and there were 11 people waiting outside. The customers seemed to be mostly local students and ramen enthusiasts. After waiting for about 30 minutes, I finally got in. I ordered the rich tonkotsu ramen with a half-boiled egg on top. It took about 15 minutes for the ramen to arrive. The soup looked very rich and creamy. When I took the first sip, it was indeed rich from the simmered pork bones, but it was smooth without any unpleasant smell. Surprisingly, the saltiness level was quite low despite its appearance. I tried adding some garlic soy sauce from the condiments on the table, and it enhanced the flavor nicely. The noodles seemed to have a good firmness, but they might have been slightly overcooked. The chashu was average, nothing special. I wish the half-boiled egg had been prepared with a bit more care. Overall, the restaurant seems to cater to the local community, especially ramen enthusiasts. Thank you for the meal.

Rich Tonkotsu Ramen (Tonkotsu + Soy Sauce, 890 yen) ★★★☆ The soup is a soy sauce-flavored broth based on pork bones. The noodles are slightly wavy thick straight noodles. The toppings include pork shoulder chashu, green onions, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, and seaweed. This restaurant opened around JR Oshigakuen Station on January 21st. I visited early based on information from Houjicha Neko. The soup is made from pork bones with a moderate amount of oil, bringing out the rich umami of pork bones without any unpleasant smell. The noodles are from Minoya Shokuhin Kogyo, with a supple texture and a good chewiness that goes down smoothly. The large piece of chashu is moist and has a good meaty texture, allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor of the meat. You can enjoy different flavors by adding pepper, black pepper, chili oil, garlic soy sauce, and vinegar provided on the table. They offer 1 hour of free parking with a partnership coin P. Also, until January 26th, they are distributing a free ramen voucher for the next visit by posting a photo with a follow on Instagram or Twitter and a hashtag.

I ordered tsukemen last time I came, so this time I'm going to have ramen again.

The food seems less flavorful than it looks, so I don't think I will visit again.

The taste is delicious. The service was a bit concerning.

It's just average.
