●●Waiting Situation●● I arrived at the restaurant on a weekday at 11:40 AM! There were 2 people waiting outside. I was able to enter the restaurant 10 minutes later! ●●Order●● I ordered the "Rich Chicken and Pork Bone Tsukemen (extra large)" for 930 yen plus the "Special Toppings" for 220 yen! Students can get free extra noodles and a seasoned boiled egg. Instagram: @pukchan_ramen ●●Noodles●● The noodles are medium-thick straight noodles that are flat. They are thinner compared to other tsukemen noodles but have a strong wheat flavor. They are smooth, chewy, and very delicious. ●●Dipping Sauce●● The dipping sauce is a rich combination of chicken and pork bone flavors. It is quite thick, and while I found the ramen broth a bit too strong in flavor before, it was just right for the tsukemen. Personally, I recommend the tsukemen. ●●Chashu●● The chashu is thinly sliced pork chashu, which is tasty and simple. ●●Overall Impression●● The noodles were delicious, and the richness of the dipping sauce made it a great meal! I recommend it for those who want to try a rich tsukemen! Thank you for the meal!

I visited around 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. There were about 5 people at the counter and 3 people along the wall. It was a bit crowded, but they confirmed the order before ordering, so the turnover was fast. I ordered the combination of ramen and half-fried rice. The ramen was a thick broth made from seafood and pork bones, which coated the noodles well and was delicious. The fried rice had a taste similar to a certain chain, neither good nor bad.

Hidden ramen battleground, Takatsuki. From my memory, this shop was originally located in a residential area of Takatsuki City, and I went there about 20 years ago. At that time, salt ramen was rare and very delicious. Somehow, they have now relocated the main store to the bustling area between JR Takatsuki Station and Hankyu Takatsuki-shi Station. I sat at the counter and looked at the menu. They had a variety of options including seasonal cold ramen, but I decided to order the classic salt ramen with boiled egg (1000 yen). After a while, a shining bowl of ramen appeared. The noodles had a smooth, plastic-like texture. This is it, the noodles from Kinsei-san. The transparent soup was richer than it looked. The perfect match of these elements made my stomach happy. It's nice to see a shop I've known for a long time rise to fame and relocate like this.

Located a little away from the center of Osaka in Takatsuki, this popular ramen shop ranks high in the Osaka ramen rankings. They offer a variety of menu items such as clear soy sauce, salt, miso, tsukemen, maze-soba, cold shrimp salt, and cold niboshi soy sauce. The current number one in popularity is the "Awase Aji (with seasoned egg and large serving)." The rich soup combines pork bone, chicken, and fish-based broth with a strong umami flavor. The noodles are slightly low-hydration, medium-thin straight noodles cooked slightly soft to blend well with the soup. The half-fried rice was well-seasoned and the rice was nicely fried, very delicious. It's surprising how high-level the fried rice is at ramen shops in Osaka, like Sodenoshita, Shiomarshall, Uroko, and others.

Thick chicken and pork bone tsukemen (220g) 980 yen, Extra noodles (220g) 300 yen. In Takatsuki, where ramen shops abound, I was wandering around looking for something delicious today. I was torn between Kusoyajin's last swing, which is right nearby, but since I was in the mood for tsukemen today, I chose this place. Not realizing it was on the first floor of a building, I was distracted by the kimchi vending machine in front of the building and ended up passing by the shop three times before finally finding it, haha. I tried it right away, and the rich soup paired well with the noodles and was extremely delicious! The soup was smooth and had a rich flavor. The noodles were characterized by a moderate elasticity and a smooth, flat texture. As expected of a shop selected as one of the top 100, I felt the high level of quality. For those who order extra noodles, please be careful - in my case, the soup ran out before I could finish the noodles because they got too soaked in the soup, which was a bit disappointing. There's nothing more empty than eating just the noodles! I will definitely go back.

☆Sunday, sunny☆ Skipped lunch and went to eat cold ramen at Kinsei-san's around 14:30 because it was hot. Ordered the limited edition cold mixed noodles with 2 slices of chashu and a flavored egg as a special topping! Waited a bit but a beautiful bowl of ramen arrived! The noodles were slightly thick and smooth! The combination with the vegetables was excellent! Highly recommended for the lingering summer heat. Definitely give it a try, ERIKA❤︎! --------------------------------------------------------【Takatsuki Sign Girl Activity Report】○Instagram (introducing 25 stores)○Tabelog, starting June 2022 6-month consecutive! 1st place in Takatsuki area・1st place for the year○YouTube (introducing 10 stores)☆☆☆☆☆ 2021.9 SDGs Toyonaka Policy Contest "SDGs Award" winner☆☆☆☆<TV Appearances>○TV Osaka 2020.6 chiibo delivery News coverage○ABC TV 2022.6 "Sugiru TV" Takatsuki feature Coverage<Event Appearances>○Takatsuki Umaimon Market MC (2020〜) --------------------------------------------------------

Today, I had plans in Takatsuki, so I stopped by this restaurant. It was a little past 12 o'clock, so the place was full, but luckily someone was leaving just as I arrived, so I was able to get in almost right away! I was glad because when I left, all the outside seats were taken! If I had been a little later, I might have had to wait. It was quite hot today, so I thought about getting a cold dish, but I decided on their special salt ramen that caught my eye on the menu! I'm looking forward to trying it! It did take a bit of time for it to come out. The clear soup looked delicious already! The broth is made from chicken and seafood, I think. I could taste a hint of yuzu in the aftertaste, so maybe there's yuzu in it. (Sorry if I'm wrong.) The salt flavor was strong but the finish was refreshing. The thin noodles paired well with the soup. I finished it in no time. This is a taste that would make you want to come back again and again!! Next time, I'll try a different dish! Thank you for the meal!

I always look forward to the limited edition noodles at Ramen Kinsei, and I end up trying them every time. This time, starting from September 1st, they introduced the Cold Shio Niboshi Mazesoba. The strong flavor of niboshi (dried baby sardines) and salty soup paired perfectly with the noodles. I also recommend trying the pork rice bowl on the side for a satisfying meal.

Today I had a health checkup at a human dock in Takatsuki City. The results were fine, I was healthy. After the checkup, I visited a ramen shop called "Saiiro Ramen Kinsei" in Takatsuki City for lunch. It was packed with customers, but the ramen was delicious and flavorful. The soup was rich and satisfying, and I also enjoyed the special toppings. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

Located in a fiercely competitive ramen district, "Kinsei" is highly praised among the rest. Although they have expanded with multiple branches now, the origin is said to be here in Takatsuki. I visited around 1 pm on a weekday and was able to enter without waiting. There are about 9 counter seats. The menu includes basics like exquisite soy sauce, carefully crafted salt, and mixed noodles for a limited time. There are combination menus with toppings like chashu and seasoned egg. In addition, they offer rice dishes (roast pork bowl, rare pork bowl, fried rice) and fried chicken. I ordered the soy sauce ramen with seasoned egg and also the rare pork bowl as an add-on. The soy sauce ramen had a refreshing taste with clear broth. It was delicious with chashu, menma, and seasoned egg. The rare pork bowl had low-temperature cooked pork topped with onion sauce. The restaurant is clean and the seats are spacious, creating a relaxed atmosphere. The staff are friendly and efficient. Overall, it was a delicious dining experience.

I had some errands to run in Takatsuki today. It was really hot outside...^^; When it's this hot, I always crave cold noodles! So, I decided to visit this restaurant for the first time in 8 years. When I arrived at 7:30 pm, there were 6 people waiting outside. I was given the menu and ordered the Cold Shrimp Salt Ramen for 900 yen. After waiting for about 10 minutes, I was seated, and my food arrived in about 5 minutes. The dish included two slices of rare chashu, menma, kaiware, and green onions. The noodles were straight and flat, perfect for cold noodles. They had a good chewy texture and were very refreshing. The soup was a clear salt base with just the right amount of oil, and the aroma of shrimp was amazing. The transparent glass bowl also added to the coolness of the dish. Although the noodles were cold, I wished they were even colder. Overall, this ramen from a famous restaurant was delicious and really hit the spot on a hot day. Thank you for the meal.

Founded on November 8, 2001, "Saisoku Ramen Kinsei" is a ramen shop that I frequent. The "Takatsuki Ekimae" branch, opened in May 2009, is one of my favorite locations within the Kinsei group. It has been selected as one of the top 100 ramen shops on Tabelog for four consecutive years from 2019 to 2022. I ordered the "Special Assorted Flavors Extra Large" for 1300 yen (tax included), and the generous portion of noodles and rich, satisfying soup left me feeling very content. Thank you for the delicious meal! For a detailed review, please click the link below: [Link to the detailed review]

I visited this place for the first time and had a bit of trouble finding it at the back of the building on the first floor. The staff was kind enough to guide me to the entrance. They recommended their tsukemen, so I decided to try it out (though I was actually curious about their classic ramen). The shop had a clean and stylish counter-only seating. There was a bit of a wait, but the turnover was quick, and I was able to get in within 10 minutes. They handed me the menu while I waited, so I could decide on my order. Once seated, I asked for water and placed my order with the server. The ramen arrived in about 5 minutes, and the noodles were delightfully chewy and delicious. The tsukemen broth was light and easy to eat. I definitely want to come back next time to try their regular ramen.

I ordered the menu with seasoned egg in soy sauce for 970 yen and char siu rice bowl for 330 yen. The restaurant is located a 3-minute walk from Hankyu Takatsuki City Station and about a 7-minute walk from JR Takatsuki Station, making it convenient. It has been selected as one of the top 100 ramen shops in 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022. The restaurant is a bit hidden in the back of a building, so it may be a little hard to find. There were about 3 people waiting in line around 10:30 am, and I was able to enter the restaurant in about 10 minutes. The interior is a bit narrow with only counter seats. After being seated, the food arrived in about 5 minutes. The soup is clear with a rich chicken flavor and a hint of seafood. It has a refreshing sweetness from soy sauce and a deep umami flavor from chicken oil. The soup is lightly seasoned, allowing the umami flavor of the broth to shine through, making it suitable for everyone. The noodles are slightly wavy, straight, medium-thin noodles. They are homemade noodles with a strong wheat flavor, chewy, and have a good texture. The toppings include char siu, green onions, menma, narutomaki, and two types of char siu: lean and fatty. The fatty char siu becomes sweeter as it warms up in the soup. The spiciness and bitterness of the menma add a nice accent to the sweet soup! The char siu rice bowl comes in a small tea bowl with stir-fried char siu, green onions, and seaweed on top of the rice. It was lightly seasoned and easy to enjoy. Thank you for the meal.

I wanted to eat ramen in Takatsuki, so I visited this restaurant. They had a cold ramen menu for the summer, but I ordered the most popular Awase flavor (900 yen). The soup, made with chicken, pork bones, and dried sardines, was rich and milky. The thin, soft noodles paired well with it. The Rare Pork Bowl (330 yen) with a large piece of rare char siu was delicious, especially with the onion sauce. I want to try their tsukemen next time.

Visited this restaurant after a long time. It's a regular on the Tabelog Top 100 list. Luckily, we were able to get in without waiting. Ordered the classic shio ramen and the limited edition hiyashi ramen. The shio ramen had a strong and savory flavor with a hint of animal essence. There was also pickled mustard greens on the table. Thank you for the meal.

I visited 100 famous restaurants in Osaka and walked about 8 minutes from Takatsuki Station! I arrived at 3:30 pm with no wait ✨ This time, I ordered the chilled shrimp salt ramen!! The shrimp aroma wafts gently, and I wonder if there are dried shrimp in it? The noodles, coated with shrimp oil, are in a light soup using shrimp oil. The chilled ramen, with a fragrant shrimp, is very delicious ☺️ Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited "Saisoku Ramen Kinsei Takatsuki Ekimae" near Takatsuki City Station for lunch. I arrived at 10:50, 10 minutes before opening, and there was no wait, so I sat down at the front. I ordered the "New Awase Ajitama" with a side of small rice, which I had never tried before. The New Awase Ajitama is a variation of the regular Ajitama ramen with bonito oil and spicy miso. The soup was a rich chicken and pork bone broth with seafood flavor, blended with bonito oil, and it was delicious. The noodles were slightly thin straight noodles, which I really enjoyed. The addition of spicy miso halfway through added a nice kick to the dish. Overall, both the new and old versions of the Ajitama ramen were delicious. I look forward to trying more dishes here in the future. Another satisfying meal today! Thank you for the delicious food.

Today, I visited "Saisoku Ramen Kinsei Takatsuki Ekimae Store" near Hankyu Takatsuki City Station for the second time. I heard they have a limited edition ramen available only yesterday and today, so I decided to come check it out. I ordered the "Clam Broth Cold Shio Ramen" in regular size. The soup had a rich flavor of clam broth, with hints of chicken as well. The seasoning was salt-based. The noodles were medium-thick straight noodles with a chewy texture. The toppings included chashu, menma, kaiware, onion (Early Red), and mushroom duxelles. The chashu was a combination of tender pork shoulder and chicken breast, which I really enjoyed. Thank you for the meal.

I received a special salt ramen. During lunchtime, the seasoned egg and extra noodles were free. The double soup with chicken and seafood had a rich and satisfying flavor. The thin noodles had a nice texture and paired well with the soup. Overall, I was very satisfied!

I wanted to eat ramen, so I went to Hakkaisan at 11:30, but there were already 6 people waiting. So, I decided to go to Asu-Nagare and they were closed for the day. Then, I went to Kinsei for the first time in 7 years and there was a 2-person wait. Due to the heat, I ended up waiting and while looking at the menu, I was torn between three cold noodle options: Cold Shrimp Salt, Cold Anchovy Soy Sauce, and Spicy Cold Mazed Soba. I decided to challenge myself with the Spicy Cold Mazed Soba, which is only available until July 31st! I also added the perfect match of Char Siu Don (roast pork bowl) to my order. The Cold Miso Don was too salty, maybe I should have just stuck with regular soy sauce ramen. I remember having the salt ramen 7 years ago and it was too bland. I think I'll come back to try the soy sauce ramen again. The music playing in the restaurant was way too loud. When I left, there were already 13 people waiting. Truly a popular spot.
