Hankyu Line Umeda Station is just a 1-minute walk away from this ramen restaurant located in a small alley called Umeda Ichibangai. It is operated by Kumagoro Co., Ltd., which currently has 2 stores in Osaka Umeda. Kumagoro Co., Ltd. operates a wide range of food and beverage establishments mainly in the Kansai region. The restaurant offers 8 types of ramen, with pork bone soy sauce, pork bone salt, and tsukemen as the main options. The interior has over 40 seats including counter and table seats, allowing customers to leisurely choose their order while looking at the menu. The "Araruma Ramen" for 800 yen features a light brown soup with medium thick noodles, topped with green onions, bean sprouts, and two types of chashu. The noodles are round and chewy, with a slightly pork bone aroma in the soy sauce-based soup. The addition of Ma-Yu enhances the richness and flavor. The two types of chashu, one lean and the other fatty, provide a delicious contrast. Overall, it is a tasty and satisfying ramen with a clean finish. The menu also includes interesting options like salt ramen with onion oil "Tamayu" and ramen with aromatic oil "Kuroyu", which I would like to try for lunch next time.

After a long time, I visited the reliable Arauma soy sauce ramen, with free menma topping and complimentary kimchi. In the past, menma used to be all-you-can-eat, but due to COVID, the buffet style is no longer allowed, and now it's an additional charge. The noodles were firm and had a slightly burnt soy sauce flavor as an accent, making the soup delicious until the last drop.

On Saturday at 2:00 PM, I went to "Araumado" in Umeda. It was 90% full. I ordered the "Araumaramen" for 800 yen. It arrived in 5 minutes. One bite and it was delicious. It had a refreshing soy sauce flavor with a strong pork bone soup base. The smell of pork bone lingered in the air every time a staff member walked by with a bowl of ramen. I think the black oil on top was mayu. This salty and flavorful taste is a guilty pleasure that I crave occasionally. The toppings were bean sprouts, green onions, and chashu. There were two types of chashu: thinly sliced lean pork and fatty belly pork. They had a good balance of tenderness and chewiness. They have a variety of ramen options, so I would like to come back to try more. Thank you for the meal.

I used it at the ramen restaurant "Shime no Ramen". It was after 7 pm on a holiday, but I was able to get in right away. The menu described the Arauma ramen as light soy sauce, but in Tokyo's sense, it was a rich tonkotsu flavor. The 50 yen green onion topping was a nice touch. It was delicious.

The flavor is strong. The price is reasonable. It's very much appreciated in the midst of this rising cost of living. They were working hard in the underground of Umeda. The soy sauce-based ramen was perfect for summer, not too heavy. I want to try a rich dish next time.

I became a solo diner in Umeda and happened to pass by Aru Umadou in Hankyu Ichibangai. I checked on Tabelog and it had a rating of 3.48. I decided to try their tsukemen since it was hot. The rich tonkotsu dipping sauce paired with chewy noodles was delicious. The chashu and seasoned egg were also tasty. Overall, it was just really good. I highly recommend it.

During lunchtime, I went to "Araumado" at Umeda Station. Originally, I was planning to go to Shin Umeda Food Street, but it was too crowded, so I went to this shop instead. I arrived around 12:10 and was seated immediately. I got in before the line started, so the timing was good. I ordered the signature Arauma Ramen and Pork Mayonnaise Bowl set. It had a soy sauce tonkotsu flavor with a hint of fried garlic. It was tasty overall, but at 1,130 yen, I think it's definitely expensive! They accept electronic payments.

It's been a while since I visited Aru Umadou! I added a lot of garlic powder to my ramen and enjoyed it with beer. The free kimchi was delicious as always. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have fried rice though. I wanted to drink a lemon chu-hi, but they didn't have it so I had a highball with gyoza instead. Do you like gyoza?

I visited around 9:30 p.m. on a regular day, as the closing time was approaching. I was seated at the counter, with about 3 other groups already there. Since there was no set menu for light drinking, I ordered a beer, gyoza, and ramen separately. The ramen had options like salt-based, soy sauce-based, but I chose the most basic delicious ramen. The beer was brought to me first, and it took a while for the gyoza to arrive. The ramen I ordered was a straight, firm noodle in a pork bone soy sauce broth, which I really enjoyed. The two slices of chashu had different types, but I couldn't tell the difference in taste. The gyoza was lightly seasoned, and I could have easily eaten them without the beer. Although kimchi was offered for free, I had to decline this time as I was already full from my order. I should have ordered it with the beer. I visited in a hurry to satisfy my hunger, but I really liked the ramen, so I would like to come back and enjoy it leisurely next time. Thank you for the meal.

I often use this restaurant for lunch when I'm on a business trip. I had the roasted miso ramen (¥980) with a half-fried rice set (¥300). I usually order the soy sauce-flavored arauma ramen, but this time I decided to go with miso. The rich soup and medium-thick curly noodles went well together and were delicious. The fried rice was not too dry and had just the right amount of moisture, also delicious. No matter what menu you order, it's consistently tasty. And it's also convenient for salarymen that the food is served quickly.

After drinking, I visited for a meal. I ordered the recommended ramen, which had a slightly gentle pork bone soup with black garlic oil. It had thinly sliced chashu and a soft-boiled egg. The soup was a bit light, but the aroma of the garlic oil added depth. The noodles were well coated in the soup, and together with the chashu, it was delightful. The richness of the egg enhanced the flavor, and the combination of the ingredients, soup, and noodles was harmonious. It was delicious.

When I visited Araumado, it was quite different from a long time ago. I wonder if they changed the seasoning a little... They no longer have fried rice. The noodles are thick noodles. There was a lot of MSG in the ramen bowl. Thank you for the meal.

Hankyu Ichiban-gai's popular restaurant, Araumado. They seem to have seats available for customers waiting in line. The turnover is fast, so you don't have to wait too long to be seated. Arauma Ramen 780 yen Extra noodles 150 yen [Noodles] Medium-thin straight noodles. Unlike Hakata-style noodles, these seem to have a slightly higher water content. They have a smooth texture and are thin yet chewy. [Soup] A clear and mild pork bone soy sauce broth. It is not overpowering and has a light and refreshing taste. It lacks the strong punch of traditional pork bone soup. [Chashu - thigh meat] The thigh meat is flavorful and delicious the more you chew. [Chashu - belly meat] The belly meat is rolled neatly, but it is quite fatty and lacks seasoning. You can enjoy both thigh and belly meat, which are quite large but thin. [Bean sprouts, green onions] Classic toppings for Osaka-style pork bone ramen. Simple and tasty. [Extra noodles] It's tempting to order more. You can also enjoy it like tsukemen. It would be nice if they offered half portions for extra noodles. I'm not sure when this restaurant was established, but it offers a mild pork bone broth that was popular during the pork bone ramen trend of the past. It's a rare find these days. Thank you for the meal.

Special Dan Dan noodles for September 2022❗ I'm working at the showroom today, assisting with important moments in life such as weddings, new homes, and new beginnings. Now it's lunchtime❗ I don't have much time, so I went to a nearby noodle shop that caught my eye - "Ara Uma Do". Hmm... I'm torn between the Special Dan Dan noodles and the Taiwanese pork ramen❗ The Special Dan Dan noodles cost ¥1230. They are delicious, although not as rich in sesame flavor as I expected. I felt like it was a standard, chain restaurant taste with a lack of spiciness, so I added some chili oil. Despite feeling a bit manufactured, the effort put into the taste and operation is evident. It's still tasty❤️ Thank you for the meal❤️

Today's order: Arauma Ramen - 780 yen Let's eat some noodles! I visited "Arauma-Do" in Umeda, Osaka, located in Umeda First Street. They offer various types of ramen, with tonkotsu shoyu ramen being the most popular. Previously, they used to have all-you-can-eat kimchi and menma, but now it's only kimchi (sad). Nonetheless, kimchi alone is still satisfying. The seating consists of 12 counter seats, 1 table for 2, and 7 tables for 4, and even at 9:30 pm, more than half of the seats were occupied. The ramen arrived: It had a tonkotsu base with just the right amount of oil, giving it a rich and flavorful taste. The noodles were medium-thick straight noodles with a nice chewiness and a hint of wheat flavor. They offer options for extra noodles or an additional serving, which is great. The chashu, despite being the default, consisted of 2 large slices of pork shoulder and 1 rolled pork belly slice, adding a generous and tasty touch. The kimchi, although initially sour, when dipped in the soup, magically transformed into a refreshing and easy-to-eat side. Other toppings included bean sprouts and green onions, keeping the focus on savoring the soup. Though I'm not sure when they first opened, it's been around for at least 20 years, showing how beloved it is. With its convenient location, it's a great place to stop by even after a night of drinking. Thank you for the meal! *Please note that these are personal preferences, so I refrain from giving a numerical score. I only post about places that I find delicious, so I hope you understand that.

- We went around 7:00 with two people. We were seated right away. - I had the Aruuma ramen. The soup was rich but surprisingly refreshing aftertaste. It's like a perpetual motion machine for ramen. My friend said they could eat one more bowl. Then there's no point in having a finishing ramen... - Osaka has a lot of delicious ramen, so it's easy to overlook other places, but this one is also delicious. Personally, I like the current feeling of being a hidden gem in a quiet atmosphere! I hope it doesn't become too popular. (Although I couldn't resist writing about it because it was delicious. It's similar to being a fan and promoting something...) - Thank you for the meal.

"Ramen Araumado Umeda Ichibangai Store" - Osaka, Osaka Prefecture, Kita-ku, Tsunoda-cho 9-36, 1 minute walk from Hankyu Umeda Station Limited quantity: Braised pork ramen ¥950 Fried chicken set ¥350 I was drawn to the limited quantity and chose the braised pork ramen ⭐️ It was described as a refreshing soy sauce flavor, but it had a mild pork bone soy sauce taste and was delicious. The braised pork was large and tender, and it could be a meal on its own.

I came with a business partner. There were many menu options, but I decided to order the extra-large Aramasa salt ramen. The sesame oil added a rich flavor to the soup, making it even more delicious. I enjoyed it so much that I almost finished all the soup by mixing it with the noodles. It was a devilishly good ramen for someone with high uric acid levels!

I found a ramen shop in a narrow alley-like street on the concourse of Hankyu Umeda Station, so I decided to give it a try. The shop is called "Ramen Araumadou." It's not very noticeable, but it's bustling with customers. I sat down at the shop and looked at the menu, which had a wide variety of ramen options. I was torn between the shop's namesake ramen and other choices, but I was in the mood for "tantanmen" today. I also ordered the "gyoza set." The tantanmen had plenty of ground meat and bok choy, but it had a light flavor as it was based on ramen broth. It wasn't the rich and creamy sesame peanut paste flavor that I was expecting. I couldn't help but feel a little regretful and thought maybe I should have just gone with the Arauma Ramen. It was still a tasty bowl of ramen though. I'll have to come back and try again.

"Ramen Araumado Umeda Ichibangai Store" Roasted Miso Ramen 880 yen. I used to always eat the normal Araumaramen here, but today I decided to try something new. Yeah, it was a mistake. The ramen lacked firmness and wasn't very spicy. The soup color was completely different from what was advertised. Disappointing...
