"I came across a tweet saying that due to a shortage of staff, the Hakata Champon on Tuesdays will be held irregularly starting from January next month. I had taken a day off on Sunday, so after finishing my jogging and leaving the laundry behind, I headed to Kamishinjo. As expected, it was a popular place... had to wait a bit. Maybe everyone came here after seeing the tweet? I waited for about 30 minutes before finally entering! It was so cold (T_T) shivering. Of course, I ordered the Hakata Champon (with extra garlic) for 900 yen! In the kitchen, Ohtsuru-san and a young girl were making ramen. You could tell they put their heart and soul into each bowl, that's why I love this place so much (>ω<) ♡ Love ♡ The bowl was served in about 15 minutes, now I wonder when I'll be able to eat it again... If the timing doesn't work out, I might never get to eat it again (ノД`) sniff. The dish had 550g of vegetables, medium-thick noodles, very satisfying! Lots of vegetables and zero calories, haha. But the lady at the counter had amazing customer service skills... I wish we had someone like her at my company... Thank you for the meal ♡ Maybe I should try training here if they're short-staffed... (laughs)"

After work, I had some free time so I decided to visit Tenjin Hata, a place I had been wanting to go to. The station where I got off, Kami-Shinjo, is not a station I usually stop at, as it is served by the Hankyu semi-express and local trains. Luckily, it was not crowded when I arrived at the restaurant around 7:30 pm on a weekday. I washed my hands at the sink outside the restaurant and then went inside. I ordered the Old Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen for 900 yen. I also got a rice set for 100 yen and an extra noodle refill for 100 yen. The soup had a deep and rich pork bone flavor with a hint of saltiness that was not overpowering. It was a rare find to have such a well-balanced soup. The thin noodles perfectly complemented the rich soup. The default serving of noodles was already generous, but the extra noodle refill with sesame and pickled ginger was slurped up quickly. I might just have to make a stop there again.

I wanted to enjoy a delicious bowl of ramen in the hot weather, so I decided to visit this place after a long time. I arrived around 11:15 am on Saturday and had to wait a bit as the tables were full, but the turnover was good and I was able to have a nice lunch. My child tried the super spicy ramen and managed to eat a little, but it was too spicy for me. I always go for the shoyu ramen, and as usual, it had a great taste. Thank you for the meal!

I want to eat tonkotsu ramen... I visited "Hakata Tonkotsu Tenjin Hata" in Osaka, where you can enjoy authentic Hakata ramen. It's just a few minutes' walk from Hankyu's Juso Station, which is convenient. I arrived about 10 minutes after opening and was able to be seated without waiting. I think they had three types of tonkotsu ramen (salt or soy sauce): 1) Wakatonkotsu, 2) Otonkotsu, 3) Kyokutoonkotsu. They also had tsukemen. This time, I had Otonkotsu with soy sauce. When the Otonkotsu (soy sauce) was served, a strong tonkotsu aroma filled the air. It's a nice tonkotsu scent, but I didn't notice any strong animal odor. It came with two large slices of chashu, wood ear mushrooms, and green onions. The noodles were the thin noodles typical of Hakata ramen. Now, for the taste... The rich tonkotsu soup was deliciously intertwined with the thin noodles! I expected it to be more rich, but it was surprisingly light. It struck a good balance with a rich tonkotsu soup that wasn't too heavy, making you want to drink more! The chashu was deliciously fatty, but I think it would be even better if it were seared.

I had the rare experience of the restaurant being unexpectedly closed for the second time in a row (I didn't check Twitter and only found out when I arrived and saw the notice). It had been six months since my last visit, but the pork bone soup and pork bone ramen at this place are still delicious. I think the fact that it always tastes good whenever I come means they are constantly improving it so as not to get tired of it. The combination of the owner and the lady owner is reassuring. Thank you for the meal, I will visit again! - Free garlic topping service continues (100 yen extra from the second time) - Free services of green onions and large wood ear mushrooms have ended, each priced at 100 yen, cash only

Visited on a Sunday around 2pm. There is a hand washing area outside the shop with a sign reminding customers to wash their hands before entering. The shop had a few customers inside. There are tatami seating and a counter, and I chose to sit in the tatami area. I purchased the "Goku-rou" ramen from the ticket machine. The soup is a highly concentrated pork bone broth, with thick curly noodles which are unusual for tonkotsu ramen. The noodles are thick but not chewy, with a smooth and slightly sticky texture that goes well with the rich soup. Despite being rich, the pork bone broth is not overpowering or too heavy, making it easy to eat. The toppings include two large slices of chashu, thick menma (bamboo shoots), seaweed, and wood ear mushrooms. The chashu has a sweet fatty flavor, and is thick but not greasy. The generous amount of thickly sliced green onions pairs perfectly with the rich pork bone broth. The staff were friendly, making it a great dining experience. I would like to visit again to try their soy sauce ramen and tsukemen.

I visited this place for the first time in about 14 years. I used to live in the apartment building diagonally across from this restaurant, and back then I would come here to eat quite often. At that time, the staff seemed scarier and more unfriendly, but coming back after so long, I found that the exterior and interior of the restaurant had changed. Just like 14 years ago, I ordered the old soy sauce ramen and added free garlic. Since it was close to closing time, there was only one other group of customers. I sat in the tatami room and waited for about 5 minutes. The old soy sauce ramen was served, and the taste was... delicious! The taste was just like it was 14 years ago (although it might have changed, who knows). I added a large amount of garlic to the soup, but the fact that the taste of the old soy sauce was still present was amazing. The thin noodles, rich soup, wood ear mushrooms, and tender, flavorful chashu were all delicious and nostalgic. Although my palate has changed over the years and I can appreciate more delicious foods now, the old soy sauce ramen was still fantastic. Thank you for the delicious ramen! I will definitely come back again! It's wonderful to be able to eat such delicious tonkotsu ramen in Osaka. When I lived here, all my laundry would smell like tonkotsu, but it's still the best. Thank you for the meal! I will visit again soon!

I visited around 11:30 on Saturday. There were already about 5 people lined up, and after waiting for about 15 minutes, I got in. If asked for a recommended place for tonkotsu ramen, I would definitely say this place because it is of such high quality. To be honest, it is more delicious than any tonkotsu ramen I have eaten in Hakata.

I ordered the ramen with extra thick pork bone and boiled egg topping. It had been about 10 years since my last visit to the restaurant. I walked there excitedly from the north exit of Hankyu Kami-Shinjo Station. After a short wait, I was able to enter the restaurant smoothly. I was surprised by the thickness of the ingredients. Even though it wasn't a Chashu ramen, the extra thick Chashu was piled high. The bamboo shoots were also extremely thick. The noodles were thick noodles only, and I was told that the extra serving would be thin noodles. Perhaps it is only when you get the extra serving that you can truly appreciate the essence of the extremely aged ramen. It is likely the number one tonkotsu ramen in Osaka.

Finally visited for the second time. I ordered the Aged Tonkotsu Ramen without hesitation, just like I did on my previous visit. Just as I expected, the Aged Tonkotsu broth was a perfect match for my personal taste. Back in my younger days, I was hooked on the Tonkotsu ramen at Osaka Muteppou. I was in my teens when I first tried it, and it was quite a shock to my taste buds. Since then, I've tried various ramen shops, and now I don't often feel the urge to go to Muteppou. However, the moment I sipped the Aged Tonkotsu soup, it reminded me of the flavors from back then. It tasted very similar to what I remember. I think this one is definitely more delicious though. It's the ultimate ramen made with just water and pork bones, no artificial seasonings. The rich and thick soup with a perfect thickness, the exquisite umami of the pork bones, and even a hint of sweetness made it incredibly delicious, just as I had expected. The homemade flat and thick curly noodles paired perfectly with the soup. The chashu and menma were clearly made with care. However, just like last time, the powdery extra noodles were a disappointment. While it may be fine for Nagahama-style Tonkotsu, I feel like this soup calls for thick noodles (normal firmness). I should have known better, but I still took the risk this time. I think next time I'll try the unknown Tsukemen, but I have a feeling I'll end up ordering the Aged Tonkotsu again.

Aged soy sauce ramen for 900 yen. I remember being impressed when I first tried this ramen here about 15 years ago. Since then, I have tried many different ramen places, and especially recently there have been more delicious ramen shops opening up, so I tried not to get my hopes up too much when I visited again. However, my expectations were completely exceeded. The aroma of the pork bone broth as soon as you walk in. Memories from the past come flooding back. This is dangerous. It's definitely going to be delicious. When the ramen was served, the appearance was perfect, but the smell was irresistible. It's definitely going to be delicious, as if it was saying, "This one's for you." The soup was piping hot, with a bit of thickness to it. Most importantly, the pork bone flavor was in full force. It's too delicious. Are there any pork bone lovers who would complain about this ramen here? It's so delicious. What is this, it's too delicious. The medium-sized chashu pork slices, green onions, wood ear mushrooms, the toppings were all plentiful and good. The noodles were thin, just like those in pork bone ramen. The way they mixed with the soup was excellent. I got them extra firm, but there was still a bit of powdery texture left, so next time I'll go for firm instead. People often say ramen is a matter of personal taste, but if a pork bone lover tried this ramen for the first time, they might just be blown away by how much they love this place. This is dangerous, it's too delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Visited on a Sunday around 12:00 pm. Only one group waiting. First, washed hands with soap outside the restaurant, then entered. Purchased meal ticket at the ticket machine near the entrance. Staff confirmed the order. Opted for 300g of noodles for the same price. Worried if I could finish it all. Boiling the noodles takes about 10 minutes. Seated after 5 minutes. Strong pork bone smell inside the restaurant! The smell of pork bone is overwhelming even before eating. Served in 13-14 minutes. The soup had a good balance of thick pork bone and seafood flavors. Slightly sweet with the green onions doing a great job. The thick and chewy noodles were very satisfying. Best when eaten with soup and green onions. The char siu was moist and tender, tasted amazing dipped in the soup. Before I knew it, I had finished the 300g of noodles. It was really delicious. Thank you for the meal! They also provide soup refills.

Old Salt Tonkotsu (Rich) for 900 yen! When it comes to eating authentic Hakata-style pork bone ramen in Osaka, you can't miss out on Tenjin Hata. For someone like me who prefers strong flavors, I went for the rich option! The menu also offers a light option for those who prefer it. I usually order soy sauce, but today I decided to try the salt flavor! I lined up around 12:30 PM for lunch, but today it's quite hot... around 36°C. Waiting in the heat is tough... I waited for about 20 minutes and finally got in around 1 PM! The restaurant is filled with the aroma of pork bone ramen, making me feel like I'm in Hakata! You can also choose the firmness of the noodles. Soft, normal, firm, hard, very hard. I usually go for firm. The thin noodles with a chewy texture are really good. Although there are more Hakata chain restaurants in Kansai now, this place is still special and delicious. The tonkotsu broth is rich but not too heavy, surprisingly good. I've been coming here for over 10 years, and it's still great!

Around 7:40 p.m. on a regular day. The restaurant was mostly full with only a few empty seats, and a waitlist started forming afterwards. I ordered the dipping noodles for ¥1100, which required a ticket and a waiting time of about 10 minutes for boiling. The noodles were thick and chewy, likely made with low hydration. They didn't have the flavor of whole wheat, but the texture was quite smooth and enjoyable. The soup was a unique blend of smelly pork bone and seafood flavors, which might not be for everyone but was surprisingly delicious. It had a moderate thickness, not too thick or thin, and a strong sweetness to it. The toppings included large slices of lean pork and about four thick pieces of bamboo shoots. The pork was plain in taste, while the bamboo shoots were soft and not fibrous, with a slightly sweet flavor. The meal ended with a yuzu-flavored soup, adding a refreshing touch to the overall experience. Despite the simplicity of the noodles and soup, the skillful preparation made them quite enjoyable. Overall, I would recommend the dipping noodles over the ramen at this place.

Thank you always for reading m(_ _)m If you enjoyed, I would be happy if you could bookmark by clicking the [Save Store] button m(_ _)m August has only 2 days left, and today and tomorrow are for visiting various ramen shops! On the first day, I visited Hakata Tonkotsu Tenjinki in Kita, a ramen shop that I had bookmarked for a long time. Hakata Tonkotsu Tenjinki is located at 3-19-87 Kamishinjo, Higashiyodogawa-ku, Osaka, a 5-minute walk from Hankyu "Kamishinjo" Station. It is a long-established ramen shop with over 20 years of history and was selected for the Tabelog Ramen WEST 2022. I arrived at the shop at 11:30. Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Opening hours are 11:00-14:30, 18:00-20:30. No waiting outside at the right timing! I washed my hands thoroughly at the outdoor washbasin on the left side of the shop and entered. After getting permission for photography, I used the ticket machine! The ramen is made using the tonkotsu topping method, with options for light (assari), rich (kotteri), salt, soy sauce, and extremely rich. There are also spicy and super spicy red tonkotsu, and fish extremely rich tsukemen. For tsukemen, you can choose between regular 200g and large 300g at the same price, and you can add more noodles (+100g) for an additional 100 yen, up to a maximum of 500g. My husband ordered the Fish Extremely Rich Tsukemen. I chose the 300g option. I sat at the available counter seat and handed the ticket to the landlady, requesting 300g. The tsukemen takes about 10 minutes to boil. Water is self-service. There is black pepper, sesame seeds, pickled ginger, and thinly sliced pickled daikon on the table. There is no large serving option for ramen, but you can choose the firmness of the noodles with extra noodles: soft, regular, firm, very firm, extra firm, or extra extra firm. The noodle-making factory is next door, and the coordination between the master and the landlady is excellent. After a short wait, the noodles arrived. The thick noodles are beautiful! The dipping sauce is full of green onions and the smell of tonkotsu stimulates the stomach! Let's eat~ First, I tried the noodles alone! The noodles are homemade thick straight noodles! When you chew, the strong elasticity of the noodles spreads a good wheat aroma! The dipping sauce is tonkotsu with added fish broth! The sweetness and acidity spread in the mouth and it's incredibly delicious! I'm happy with the generous amount of dipping sauce. Even when dipping the noodles generously in the sauce, it doesn't decrease easily. The toppings are tender chashu and menma! Ahhh! Such deliciousness that I want to keep eating forever! I finished the 300g portion deliciously! The lemon-infused hot water served at the beginning is used for soup splitting. The hot lemon acidity and the texture of the green onions in the soup are amazing! Many shops select onions for soup splitting, but I think green onions are the best for this soup. I left Hakata Tonkotsu Tenjinki feeling satisfied and happy after thanking the couple and saying goodbye. Husband, thank you for the meal! It was delicious! I will come again!

"I visited 'Hakata Tonkotsu Tenjin Hata' in Kami-Shinjo and tried the 'Gyokko Aged Tsukemen 200g (7 servings) (1100 yen).' This time, I had the 'Gyokko Aged Tsukemen 200g.' The broth is made with a blend of animal and seafood flavors using the additional pork bone method, with a slightly thick soy dipping sauce that has a good balance of soy sauce base, rich pork bone broth, seafood flavor, acidity, sweetness, and a hint of spiciness. The thick, wavy noodles are homemade and have a strong elasticity that allows the sauce to cling well, providing a firm texture and good chewiness. The noodle bowl comes with large slices of tender chashu pork with a delicious seasoning that enhances the meaty flavor. You can choose between 200g and 300g of noodles, and a side soup is included."

I think it's safe to say that this restaurant has been around for over 20 years, specializing in pure tonkotsu ramen. They have been consistently providing a straightforward tonkotsu broth, with a gritty texture from the bone particles at the bottom of the soup that really showcases their commitment as a ramen shop. The establishment, known for serving tonkotsu, has captured the hearts of fans by offering an avant-garde ramen called "Gokutonkotsu" created by tonkotsu enthusiasts, which some might describe as a crazy ramen. The soup is extremely rich and gritty, with thick noodles intentionally chosen to provide a contrasting texture and wheat aroma against the soup, and a large amount of green onions to add even more contrast. Despite constantly evolving, this place's tonkotsu is what tonkotsu should truly be. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the restaurant in the early afternoon on a holiday, so I had to wait a bit before being seated. They have a relaxed counter seating, tatami rooms, and table seating. I ordered the Fish Extreme Tsukemen 300g (¥1100) and the Spicy Red Tonkotsu (¥1100). The Fish Extreme Tsukemen comes in 200g or 300g options, both priced at ¥1100 (note that adding 400g or more incurs an additional charge). The thick and chewy noodles are perfectly coated in a rich dipping sauce. The thick and creamy tonkotsu soup is infused with seafood flavor, making it delicious to drink on its own. It comes with two large slices of tender chashu and plenty of homemade menma. I recommend adding extra chashu as a topping! Lastly, I poured the leftover soup into a teapot with lemon to drink. The subtle lemon flavor is delightful. I'd love to take some home in a pot. I also tried a bit of the Spicy Red Tonkotsu (my partner's order). It has thin noodles and is spicy, but the spiciness is balanced with the rich tonkotsu flavor. It also comes with delicious chashu, wood ear mushrooms, and plenty of green onions. For those who like it even spicier, there's an extra spicy option available. It was worth waiting in line in the heat to enjoy this meal. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I went to have lunch. I had ramen here before. I heard they also have tsukemen here, which I've been curious about. I ordered the Fish Extreme Tsukemen 300g with egg topping. The dipping broth is delicious. It's rich but not too heavy, with a hint of sweetness. It's so good that I can drink it all up. The plenty of green onions in it are also delicious. The noodles are thick and go perfectly with the dipping broth. The char siu is the old-fashioned type, big and tender. When I tried it alone, it had a gentle and slightly sweet flavor. But when dipped in the broth, it's fantastic. The noodles have a nice chewy texture and a slightly sweet taste. Dipped in the broth, they are amazing. The boiled egg is firm. The dipping broth is just amazing. I think I could eat plain rice with just this broth. I definitely want to come back for the tsukemen. I highly recommend this place.

I couldn't eat at the ramen shop near Unobe for three consecutive days (today I forgot it was a regular holiday, my bad), so today I took out all my frustrations at Tenjin Hata. I arrived before 6 pm and there was no wait, but I hesitated a bit and decided to wait for a few people to enter before going in. As expected of a famous shop! As three people arrived at the same time from somewhere, I decided to enter after watching them enter. Before entering, I washed my hands at the faucet in front of the shop. Since it was a ticket system, I went to the ticket machine to buy a ticket, and after some hesitation, I ordered the Fish Extreme Tsukemen and Heta Don set that had caught my attention before. For some reason, I ended up buying an extra noodle refill as well... oh well, they'll probably say it's impossible, so I'll ask for a refund, I thought as I headed to my seat. Water was self-service, so I poured water myself and went to my seat. As always, the table condiments were well stocked. The female staff member told me that the dipping noodles would take about 10 minutes, and then asked if I was okay with the extra noodles being thin noodles. I... can I have the extra noodles! Since it was a special occasion, I decided to have the extra noodles as well. The noodles were being made one after another as I watched, and then they were served. The appearance was so appetizing... the teapot with the dipping soup added a nice flavor. I immediately dipped the noodles in the soup and slurped them up...!! This is delicious!! The rich pork bone and fish broth harmonized well, and the umami of the soy sauce base had a powerful impact. The dipping soup is so delicious, I might really like this. The slightly wavy thick noodles were firm and had a strong elasticity, pleasing both the teeth and the tongue. The chashu looked rough in appearance, but when I ate it, it was easy to chew and had a very delicate texture. The menma was thick and had a strong crunchy texture, making it enjoyable to chew. The crunchy texture of the green onions in the dipping soup was also good (I like green onions, so I'll just keep praising them for now). And the Heta Don, with the sweet and savory sauce-coated chashu stimulating the appetite, and the bean sprouts underneath adding a textural accent. Together with the rice soaked in the sauce, it was a delight. The slightly firm boiled egg yolk served as a chopstick rest and did a great job... this bowl is so much to my liking. And even though it was a dipping noodle, I mistakenly ordered the extra noodles, which were brought to me as thin noodles. Will thin noodles go well with this dipping soup? The tension of the first bite... they go well together - I really like this! The tight texture of the thin noodles and the strong taste of the dipping soup matched very well in my personal opinion. Now, for the climax... the appearance of the soup base! Pouring the lemon-topped soup base into the dipping soup... the first sip... the punch of the dipping soup is still there, but it has become incredibly easy to drink! The lemon is doing a great job! I never thought it would have much effect (hey). Surprisingly, I finished it all! Happy ending! Well, I really didn't know what to do when I couldn't eat ramen in Unobe today, but I never expected such a fateful encounter... it was meant for us to meet, huh... I'm so happy, bokaa~ (gloomy)

Whenever I come here, it's always delicious. I wish I had come earlier... I used to not like tonkotsu and seafood-based broths, but I got really hooked on this place. The dipping sauce with plenty of green onions and the slightly thick noodles are amazing! The fried chicken is also piping hot and juicy! By the way, the most delicious tonkotsu I've ever had in my life is from Tenjin Hata. You'll get addicted to it!
