Tonight, I tried the main dish of "Chicken Soba Zaging" at the original store after having a delicious bowl of noodles at the branch the other day. When I arrived at the restaurant at 6:30 pm on a holiday, there were 6 people waiting outside in the pouring rain, showing how popular the place is. The ticket machine was located outside, so I bought my ticket before lining up. However, to my surprise, there was no regular menu available today, only the monthly special "Limited Soba." I decided to order the limited soba and after a 12-minute wait, the staff collected my ticket and in just 3 minutes, my meal was served. The operation at this restaurant is very efficient. Now, let's dig in! "Noodles": The noodles were beautifully shiny and flat. When I picked up a couple of strands and tried them, they had a bouncy texture and a strong chewiness. The flavor was also excellent, with a nice aroma. "Dipping Sauce": The dipping sauce was extremely rich and thick, not sinking even when I placed the noodles on top. The taste was truly chicken-centric, full-bodied, and rich with a gentle touch. Although it may be slightly monotonous, the various toppings added variety to the dish. "Toppings": The toppings were outstanding, with the signature fried burdock standing out. Additionally, there were chicken breast, duck meat, pork shoulder loin, chicken thigh, half-boiled egg, white leek, and sprouts. Each topping was delicious on its own, and the abundance of toppings prevented any feeling of monotony. "Soup Refill": To finish the meal, I requested a soup refill. The staff brought over the hot soup and served it with bare hands, cautioning me about the heat of the bowl. The soup refill had a relatively clear and delicious flavor. Overall, the extremely rich dipping sauce, the luxurious array of toppings, and the efficient service made my visit a great success, despite the unexpected limited menu. I look forward to trying the regular Chicken Paitan next time!

I visited during lunchtime on a regular day. I arrived around 11:30 and there were about 4 groups ahead of me. I ordered the chicken soba. The soup was very rich, the noodles were well-coated, and the unique fried burdock root paired perfectly with it! It was very delicious!

I was planning to go to a certain shop, but it was closed for the owner's personal use, so I ended up wandering and found this place. I'm not sure if this should be called ramen or a type of chicken soba dish. The thick and rich soup with no chewy noodles can be deceiving when you think it's ramen, but once you start eating, it mysteriously disappears. The fried burdock on top looks nice but taste-wise, it may not make a difference. Overall, it's a strange dish that leaves you wondering.

Chicken dipping soba for 950 yen at Zakin. Recently, Zakin has opened branches in Tokyo as well. Arrived on a weekday at 14:33, with 3 people waiting to purchase food tickets, waited a bit outside, entered the shop at 14:38. It's definitely popular. Received the bowl at 14:44, along with a tray, with thick noodles topped with chashu, dipping sauce, fried burdock, and yuzu pepper on separate plates. Started by trying the noodles, which were chewy and had a good texture. They were quite long, and dipping them in the sauce made them easier to bite off. The dipping sauce was a slightly salty chicken broth with a hint of foam. It also contained chicken chashu slices. The chashu was thinly sliced and cooked at a low temperature, with a mild flavor. The fried burdock, a Zakin specialty, added a crunchy texture and a nice touch. Towards the end, when the flavor became a bit monotonous, I added the yuzu pepper to the noodles. The refreshing scent of yuzu and the flavor of the pepper paired well. The initially salty dipping sauce also balanced out nicely in the end. It was a delicious meal.

I arrived a little after 11 o'clock and there were already two groups waiting. I waited for about 10 minutes before getting in. It was my first visit in a while, but this restaurant is easy for a woman to enter alone. The taste is light and delicious, and the burdock topping goes perfectly with the noodles and broth. By the time I finished eating, there were about 15 groups waiting before 12 o'clock. The turnover is fast, so I don't think you have to wait that long, but I would like to go again. Thank you for the meal.

After a long time, I arrived at the main store of Zagi just 5 minutes before opening, so there was almost no line and I entered immediately. I purchased the chicken soba at the ticket machine and when I sat down, the hospitality at Zagi was indeed different from other ramen shops, very pleasant! The service to foreign customers was at a divine level. After a while, the bowl arrived – it was perfect! The soup was frothy and cloudy, with fried burdock that looked like a tree. The rich chicken broth coated the smooth, thin straight noodles evenly, providing a great texture. The chashu came in two types – chicken and pork, both delicious. The bamboo shoots and burdock were also exceptionally tasty. Everything I tried was truly the unique deliciousness that Zagi is known for. I savored the ramen and the comfortable atmosphere, feeling so happy. It was a very delicious ramen experience, thank you! 🚶‍♂️Instagram hiroyasu1010

I finished work early in Osaka and searched for something to do. I came across this stylish restaurant and decided to visit. They are known for their chicken soup, so I ordered the chicken ramen. The foam on the surface made it very smooth and delicious. The fried burdock root on top was also very tasty. I would love to visit again if I have the chance.

Chicken Soba Gin Osaka - Higobashi Limit Concentration Chicken Soba TP Egg Every 4th Sunday of the month is the day of the limit concentration of ramen. The limit concentration is quite rich and thick, but very delicious. I also like the normal one, but when I want to eat heartily, I go for the limit concentration.

Limited soba (1050 yen). We waited for about 50 minutes in a group of 12 people, and my first impression was the stylish interior! It seems like a great place for a date. Today, they only had ramen on the menu due to their "maximum concentration" day, and you could choose the portion size. The fried burdock is a feature, but I personally didn't care for the crispy texture - it could be there or not. However, the ramen paired well with the "maximum concentration" theme, and I enjoyed the half-cooked egg and chewy noodles. I would definitely like to visit again.

It was like the Osaka version of Kagari, a popular restaurant. I arrived around 7:30 PM on Sunday and had to wait for about 40 minutes before being seated. On that day, only the limited "maximum concentration" ramen was available for order. Each ingredient was carefully made and visually appealing. The deep-fried burdock was a nice accent and delicious. As the name suggests, the chicken broth ramen was very rich, but not too heavy and had a good balance. Thank you for the meal.

On the morning after a hangover, I had a strong craving for ramen and decided to visit this place. I arrived right at 11 o'clock, but there was already a line! The store had a clean appearance and the interior was beautiful. The staff were polite and courteous. The flavor was rich, which was a bit too much for my hangover, but I think people who like this type of flavor would really enjoy it. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the popular restaurant Torisoba Zagingin Honten in Higobashi after a long time! Even though I went around 11 o'clock, there was already a line forming, but I was able to get in after waiting for about 15 minutes. The chicken white broth was amazing with its perfect form and rich soup. It really hit the spot and helped with my hangover. The meat sushi I ordered was also delicious and reasonably priced. The restaurant was clean and it's no wonder it's so popular! I definitely want to go again soon. Thank you for the meal!

Chicken soba (large) ¥1050. Visited on a weekday at 10:45 am. No waiting. 2 customers ahead. Purchased a meal ticket from the outside ticket machine and entered the restaurant. Was promptly seated. The dish arrived in just 3 minutes! The soup was smooth, creamy, flavorful, and delicious. I almost finished the whole bowl. The medium-thin noodles were delicious, soaking up the soup perfectly. The fried burdock was tasty but a bit hard to eat. Both the pork and chicken chashu were delicious. I debated between adding rice or getting a large portion, and getting the large portion was the right choice. As I ate the noodles and drank the soup, I realized the soup was disappearing fast. Thank you for the meal. By the time I finished eating, the restaurant was full, with 4-5 people waiting outside. The interior had a luxurious feel. The staff were energetic and provided excellent service.

I visited Zagi Honten for the first time in a while. I ordered chicken soba and meat sushi. The soup had a rich and delicious chicken flavor. The noodles were thin and straight, with a good texture. The fried burdock root was also tasty. Thank you for the meal.

Order Chicken Soba for 950 yen. The first thing that catches your eye is the unique burdock fry at this shop. The contrast of the burdock fry in a ceramic bowl with white soup, chashu, and the presentation itself is Instagram-worthy. Soup: First, you smell the chicken, then the saltiness and sweetness come through, followed by a soy sauce aroma, with a lingering chicken essence. Noodles: Slightly wavy, medium-thin noodles. The soup has a strong flavor, but the wheat aroma balances it nicely. Toppings: The rare pork chashu is tender, while the chicken chashu is thick and satisfying, though lacking a bit of chicken flavor. The burdock fry pairs well with the soup, combining the crispy fragrance of the fry with the burdock and chicken soup. The texture is excellent, with some parts moist from soaking in the soup and others crispy. The mitsuba, onions, and menma add a nice texture and aroma. Each topping serves as a perfect accent, ensuring you won't get tired of the soup's fragrance. Value: The price is reasonable, and the satisfaction is high, making it a great value. Atmosphere: The staff in their traditional Japanese aprons and the interior give off a refined atmosphere similar to a traditional Japanese restaurant. Other: Visited on a weekday night around 8:30 pm, with a 7-person line and about a 15-minute wait.

Today, a crucial business meeting went well, so my colleagues and I decided to celebrate by going out for some delicious ramen. After discussing various options, we settled on this restaurant. I already love chicken broth ramen, so I was excited to try it again. We arrived around 2 pm, past the lunch rush, so there was only a short line of about 4 people. We bought our meal tickets first and I decided to get the chicken ramen with meat sushi set for 1,300 yen. After a 15-minute wait, we were seated in the stylish interior with jazz music playing in the background. The chicken ramen arrived on a fancy tray with white, foamy broth, two types of chashu, and fried burdock as toppings. The broth had a perfect balance that made me and my colleague exchange surprised looks. The noodles were light and smooth, and I quickly finished the whole bowl. The meat sushi, topped with thinly sliced beef and Kyoto leeks in sesame oil, was also delicious. I never expected to find such a calm and classy atmosphere in the middle of the business district while enjoying such tasty chicken broth ramen. By the time we left, I felt completely refreshed and ready to tackle more work. I will definitely be back! Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I visited the restaurant on a Sunday evening, right after it opened, and was lucky to be seated without much of a wait. There were many foreign customers as well. The atmosphere inside the restaurant was elegant, with the staff dressed in traditional Japanese attire, and the concept of the restaurant was well-defined. The staff were all very friendly and hospitable. The food I ordered, the chicken soba and meat sushi, was visually appealing and matched the ambiance of the restaurant. The soup was smooth, and the toppings of bamboo shoots, meat, and burdock were generous. It had a light flavor, but the noodles were well coated in the soup and very delicious. It would be recommended for those who do not prefer heavy ramen. The meat sushi was also consistently delicious. The sweetness of the meat, including the meat in the ramen, was very noticeable. By the time I left, there was a small line forming, so I was lucky to have arrived at the right time!

Chicken Soba Zagan Honten Chicken soba with fried chicken. It's been a while since I had the normal chicken soba, but I'm really feeling the deliciousness again. It seems they have opened in Tokyo too, so even if I move, I can still go with my dog. However, it's quite a struggle to go to Tokyo, so I want to go here again at least once.

On this day, I parked my car at the parking lot near Edobori and had a late lunch (around 2:30 pm) at "Tori Soba-za Gin Higobashi Main Store," a restaurant run by Kenji Joryu, the leader of Silver Grape Gin. This restaurant is considered a sacred place for Joryu, alongside "Shinko," and it was a must-visit for me. I arrived at a time between lunch and dinner, so I was able to purchase my meal ticket at the ticket machine without waiting and was promptly seated. I usually order the signature "Chicken Soba" and "Meat Sushi" set at Tori Soba-za Gin, and this day was no exception. The restaurant has a small counter seating area, and the interior was quite warm, which made eating the warm noodles a bit uncomfortable. The Chicken Soba had a rich and creamy chicken broth with a perfect balance of sweetness, saltiness, and umami flavors, topped with deep-fried burdock root, two types of chashu, menma, purple onions, and watercress. It was a top-notch dish. The Meat Sushi (2 pieces) that I had alongside the soba was also impressive, and I finished it all in no time. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Visited before 12:00 on Saturday. There were 6 people waiting. We were seated in about 15 minutes. It wasn't too bad as we were in the shade. We ordered chicken soba and chicken tsukemen for two people. The chicken soba was well-made and you could tell it was popular. It was a bit salty though.

Rich chicken ramen. Generally delicious. However, waiting outside in the summer is too hot and tough. You are made to wait in a place where the warm air from the outdoor unit blows directly on you. I wonder why they don't improve this. The taste seems to have gradually become lighter over the past three years. I feel like it was even more delicious three years ago...
