They also sold original instant ramen ❤ Miracle Geppoooooo! (≧∇≦)b #Osaka #YakanTeiSakura #InstantRamen #ComedianUmebusuki #Ahooon #Geppoo #Original

There is a theater called Nihonbashi Pollux theater, and when you visit there on a business trip, you are lucky! The yellow truck is a landmark. You can order Oita-style fried chicken and they fry it for you. The large fried chicken is juicy and delicious. I really like the way they coat the flour on the fried chicken here. It's my favorite type of fried chicken. It was delicious!

Today's ramen part 3: There is an instant ramen specialty store next to Pomie in Nihonbashi 4-chome. They have a variety of regional instant noodles available, such as Rishiri kelp ramen, tuna ramen, and jaw broth ramen. I tried Koizumi-san's tuna ramen and it was delicious. I received a complimentary pack of Kumamoto garlic tonkotsu ramen for purchasing over 1500 yen. I also got a booklet about regional ramen rankings. It seems they have branches in Tokyo as well. Instant Ramen Specialty Store Yakantei Sakura Main Store 06-6644-9001 Osaka, Osaka, Naniwa-ku, Nihonbashi 5-17-20.

I happened to pass by a colorful and flashy store that caught my eye. I thought it was a pop-style store, but it turned out to be a shop selling a variety of instant noodles from different regions. They also had unique and unfamiliar curries. It was quite interesting. The nostalgic Showa era atmosphere was somehow calming. Despite the various bright colors, it had a strange charm. Since I have a friend who likes spicy food, I bought some spicy curries and cup noodles as a small gift. I think it's quite interesting.

After having lunch, instead of heading to Namba Station, I went south. I wanted to buy the correct ramen from Sakura Osaka Main Store, after mistakenly purchasing a different one at Sakura Nerima Hikarigaoka Store during Golden Week. I found the tuna ramen I was looking for and while deciding what else to buy, the staff recommended their ranking list with a flyer. Since I had already visited Sakura Nerima Hikarigaoka Store during Koizumi-san Ramen Trip, I declined and inspected the products in person. I ended up buying the Sado Agedashi Ramen and Kanazawa Gold Leaf Ramen. At the checkout, the manager came out and the staff mentioned my visit during Koizumi-san Ramen Trip, leading to a lively conversation with the manager. The next morning, I tried the tuna ramen. The tuna and seafood broth was rich and delicious. The wasabi was subtly present, not as strong as making a sour face like Koizumi-san.

On the first day of the three-day weekend, I was lured by the nice weather to a restaurant serving oversized portions. I struggled with a huge tonkatsu overflowing from a bowl in the "Katsu Curry Don" but unfortunately, I was defeated due to feeling unwell. I then visited a traditional Japanese confectionery shop and enjoyed "White Grape Daifuku" and "Charred Mitarashi" as eat-in sweets. As I walked towards Nihonbashi's electric town to burn off some calories, I was drawn into a shop by a Keroppi doll displayed inside. It turned out to be a specialty instant ramen store called "Yakan Tei Sakura Main Store". The store was filled with various regional ramen from all over Japan, including Hokkaido's Hair Crab Ramen, Toyama Black Ramen, Shodoshima Olive Ramen, and Saga Mutsumi Ramen. The shop was run by a friendly young female staff member, and I purchased Setouchi Salt Lemon Ramen and Sapporo Junren Miso Ramen based on her recommendations. I also learned that the top 3 regional ramen in Japan are 1st place - Hokkaido Rishiri Island Rishiri Kombu Ramen, 2nd place - Akita Hinai Jidori Shirodashi Ramen, and 3rd place - Hokkaido Hair Crab Ramen. I was curious about the combination of lemon and ramen, so I tried the Setouchi Salt Lemon Ramen which was made with delicious lemon from the Seto Inland Sea and chicken broth salt ramen. Surprisingly, the lemon complemented the salt ramen well, giving the soup a refreshing taste. The Sapporo Junren Miso Ramen was also delicious, especially when paired with freshly cooked rice. The noodles had a nice shine and chewiness, and the miso broth had a perfect balance of sweetness and pork extract richness. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience exploring the world of regional ramen at the store.

This is a specialty instant ramen shop located about 50 meters west of the Sakaisuji "Nipponbashi 4" intersection in Osaka Minami. The reviewer had visited the shop a few times before when it was in a narrow alley before realizing it had moved. The new location is spacious, bright, and well-organized, with a wider variety of ramen options. The reviewer tried different flavors including Kumamoto ramen, Carp ramen, and a tomato soup ramen for women. Each ramen had its unique taste, with the Kumamoto ramen standing out for its rich tonkotsu flavor. The review also mentions a list of popular regional instant ramen flavors available for purchase at the shop.

Before cup ramen (cup noodles) became popular, bag noodles were the main choice. Bag noodles seemed to be declining at one point, but now they are making a comeback as convenient local specialties. This shop specializes in bag noodles (instant ramen) and has been in business for a while, but they are currently operating a pop-up store at the "Station Marche" inside Shin-Osaka Station. The pop-up store is open from September 4, 2017, to September 18, 2017, and you can also purchase their products online. It's worth visiting the store to see and touch the various bag noodles on display and have the opportunity to chat with the male staff about bag noodles. I stumbled upon this store by chance on the first day of the pop-up store while transferring from the Shinkansen to the local train. Initially, I thought it was just a typical sales corner, but I was surprised by the variety and rarity of the bag noodles they had. I had never seen over half of the products before. When I casually talked to the male staff (the store manager), we started discussing bag noodles. He mentioned that they currently have 160 types of bag noodles in the store and will be rotating some of them during the pop-up period. As we discussed different products, I ended up buying 9 types of bag noodles, even though I wasn't planning on buying any initially. The store manager mentioned interesting facts about some of the products, such as a reissued version of "Umakacchan" that is so rare it's not even sold in Kyushu, and a ramen that is more expensive per gram than gold due to the high price of spices. The store also has an online shop, but if you enjoy engaging in enthusiast conversations, I recommend talking to the store manager and making your purchase in person for a more satisfying experience. Just be aware that the store is located inside the JR ticket gates.

I've seen it before! I've eaten it before! I don't know this one!! You can have a fun time with your friends. A for-Real (A4REAL) by Mizuki Shoji. Giving a unique souvenir or gift will surely liven up the mood.

The planned restaurant was closed on the day I visited, but I found an interesting restaurant nearby that seemed to have been featured on TV. Many people were buying as souvenirs. I purchased three different types of mixed noodles, which cost around 400-500 yen each. The noodles had a slightly spicy miso-based flavor, but it felt like it was missing something. I decided to add some oil-preserved oysters, and it turned out to be delicious. The flavor completely changed, and I think any ingredient would work well with this type of mixed noodles.

Today, my neighbor (Pomie-san) was closed for the day, so I was wondering where to go for lunch. As I was pondering, I stumbled upon "Yakan Tei Sakura" right in front of me! I wondered if they had any unique ramen, so I peeked inside and found a variety of instant ramen that I had never seen before. I've tried some of them before, but there are so many different kinds available now. I decided to ask the staff for recommendations. They first showed me the ramen corner featured on a TV show called "Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai"! They recommended three ramen options, and I also picked a few more to purchase. I even bought a book on instant ramen. Apparently, you can get a complimentary ramen when you purchase a book! When I got home, I made the "Mayo Ramen" that was featured on the TV show. It had a mix of tantanmen, itomen, and mayo flavors. On another day, I tried the "Ohotuku Salt Ramen," which had a clear salty broth and medium-thick straight noodles with a slight twist. The cost performance may not be great, but this place really tickles the hearts of ramen lovers. It was delicious! I will definitely visit again.

During Golden Week, I tried some instant ramen that I bought at the Fourjo Kawara Garden FOOD stall in Kyoto. I purchased Kumamoto Ramen with Salt Flavor, Sanriku Kamaishi Nakamuraya Supervised Scallop Ramen with Scallop Soy Sauce Flavor, Hokkaido Haporo Offshore Sweet Shrimp Ramen with Shrimp Miso Flavor, and Serious Curry Ramen. Additionally, I received one complimentary ramen, the Sanriku Kamaishi Nakamuraya Supervised Oyster Ramen with Oyster Extract Maroyaki Soy Sauce Flavor. I shared the three flavors with my friends. The Oyster Ramen from Sanriku Kamaishi Nakamuraya has a dry noodle that needs to be boiled for 5 minutes. The thin noodles have a nice firm texture, and the soup has a smooth soy sauce flavor with a hint of oyster, elevating it to a higher level of instant ramen. The Scallop Ramen from Sanriku Kamaishi Nakamuraya has a lighter color soup with a gentle taste of scallop essence. The noodles are the same as the Oyster Ramen. The Hokkaido Haporo Offshore Sweet Shrimp Ramen has thin, slightly curly noodles. When you add the included sweet shrimp umami oil, the miso soup gains a refined and rich miso flavor with the addition of shrimp essence. These instant ramen may be considered simple, but all three have high quality. Delicious!

Sometimes I visit the "Instant Ramen Theme Park" and enjoy it. I saw this place being introduced on TV through a rerun, and the next day I suddenly remembered and came here! (laughs) I purchased items based on what I saw on TV that day. - Asahikawa Sanpei Miso Ramen (Hokkaido): The soup is rich and spicy, the noodles can be cooked together or separately, which is very convenient (laughs). - Mayo Ramen (Osaka): Ramen produced by the manager of this store. The key points are Kurikko noodles (Fukuoka) and mayo powder! The manager's special instruction is to turn off the heat, add soup and toppings, then cook for another 2 minutes, according to the manager's strict guidance. - Ramen Kamen (Fukuoka): I bought it immediately because it was introduced as hand-pulled noodles! The noodles are supple and delicious. Ah, the world of instant ramen is still deep (sweat). I will come back again.

Yakan-tei, an instant ramen specialty shop based in Osaka, is currently holding a pop-up sale at Gransta Tokyo inside Tokyo Station from October 2nd (Saturday) to October 31st (Sunday). Yakan-tei is a shop that offers instant ramen from all over Japan. Due to the increase in "stay-at-home time" during the pandemic, the owner, Ichiro Yamato, often introduces instant ramen from across the country on TV. There is a wide variety of instant ramen available at Gransta Tokyo, including those featured on popular TV shows like "Ousama no Buranchi" and "Matsuko no Shiranai Sekai." This time, I purchased the "Yappari Umai Abura Soba" for 400 yen, which has been featured multiple times on TV. It is a product from Miyaura Foods in Yamagata, the same maker of the popular "Tori Chuka." I was interested in trying the "Tori Chuka" and purchased it at the "Oishii Yamagata Plaza" in Ginza. Since they didn't have the "Yappari Umai Abura Soba" there, I was happy to find it at Gransta Tokyo. The noodles are thin and flat, even after boiling for 5 and a half minutes, but they have a surprisingly chewy texture that exceeds expectations for instant noodles. The garlic-infused sauce and rich oil are exquisite. The combination of the punchy sauce and raw egg is perfect, making it feel like adding just a raw egg is essential even without any other toppings. It has more character than expected, and I'm glad I bought it. I was able to experience the potential of instant noodles and the high quality of the noodles.

1st place in the All-Japan Local Ramen Ranking is Hokkaido's Okhotsk Salt Ramen for ¥403. 2nd place is Yamagata's Tori Chuka for ¥370. 3rd place is Osaka's Mayo Ramen for ¥420 (excluding tax).

Visit in July 2021, posted on July 28th (all information is from the time of the visit) (prices include tax): Japan's largest instant ramen specialty store "Yakan Tei" has a gathering of local instant ramen at Takatsuki Loft! From Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, a selection of the best ramen is available. You can enjoy a variety of ramen without having to travel to each local area. Please stop by and try different kinds of ramen. Event period: 7/21 (Wed) - 8/3 (Tue) *Closing at 5 pm on the last day. Takatsuki Hankyu 3rd floor Event Space (in front of Loft). At least for the past three years, this event seems to have been held. This year, I purchased four types of ramen: - Arabian Yakisoba ¥154 - Umakacchan Mentaiko Tonkotsu ¥151 - Sugakiya Ramen Dashi-flavored Japanese-style Tonkotsu ¥216 - Ehime Tai Shio Ramen ¥270 I tried the last one. It is a salt ramen that brings out the flavor and umami of sea bream. Sea bream extract is combined with chicken extract to enhance the richness of the flavor. It is 458kcal, made with domestically produced wheat, no canned water, and uses Hakata salt for the noodles. The preparation method is a bit different, as you first dissolve the powder soup in boiling water, then add the noodles to cook. This is unusual in the world of instant noodles where usually the noodles are cooked first before adding the powder soup. The slightly cloudy soup has a subtle sea bream flavor, but the saltiness gives it a punch. The noodles are chewy, and perhaps because they were cooked together with the soup, the flavor seems to have soaked in. The sea bream salt ramen was quite delicious and interesting.

A shop that has appeared on TV several times. I bought it at an event near Hankyu Umeda Station. While Marutai's stick ramen and cup noodles are familiar, this was my first time trying their bag noodles. I made it at home right away, and the soup was exactly the same as the stick ramen. The noodles in the bag noodles were surprisingly good, not typical of bag noodles, and quite delicious. The bag noodles were popular at the venue near Umeda Station and some varieties were sold out, including the Hiroshima Carp ramen which was not expected to be restocked. I would definitely like to try eating at the actual store next time.
