I went around 11:40 on Saturday afternoon. The restaurant started at 11:30, but there were only 2 customers inside, with seats arranged so that they didn't face each other at the counter. All the menu items looked delicious, and I was interested in the set menu, but I ended up ordering the extra large spicy tantanmen with extra green onions (980 yen). There were no toilets inside, and I was told to go to the second floor of the same building. The tantanmen was rich and delicious! They also have a Taiwanese-style mixed noodles that I want to try next time. However, my husband, who took turns dining alone, ordered the Taiwanese-style mixed noodles and said that the noodles were different from what he expected, not spicy (he doesn't like spicy food), so he didn't rank it as number one. I would like to add another review when I visit again!

Lunch today was at Yuimaru near Kintetsu Kawachiosaka Station. The Taiwan Ramen and Mini Curry set is on special for ¥930 instead of the usual ¥1030. The set includes Taiwan ramen and curry, which I didn't think would go well together. I prefer the Taiwan egg rice set. However, the curry here is delicious. It was a great meal. Thank you! ❤️

[Taiwanese Ramen is Delicious as Always] - Taiwanese Ramen (Large) ¥880 - Mini Taiwanese Egg Rice ¥250 The restaurant is located just a 1-minute walk from Kashiwara Ono Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line. Since they close at 3pm, I always start to feel rushed around 2pm. Today, I checked what they were offering on the "Yui Maru Calendar" and I was already in the mood for Taiwanese ramen in the morning. The soup with just the right level of spiciness is great, but personally, I really love the crunchy texture of the bean sprouts. Today's meal was reliably delicious once again. Thank you for the meal. PayPay ❌

The Taiwan ramen (large serving) was delicious as always. I regret not getting the large serving from the start, so this time I made sure to order it. It was a great decision, I am completely satisfied! Today I had the mini Taiwan-style egg rice, which was also good. However, it's a shame that you can't choose a mini curry as a set with the Taiwan ramen. It would be nice to have more options for combinations. Despite that, the egg rice was good. I just wish they had a larger size available! Thank you for the meal.

This ramen is delicious! I wish they would reduce the amount of minced meat and add more green onions and leeks. It's hard to compare with soy sauce or miso ramen, but this might be my favorite among the ramen I've had recently. I've found a great place to eat. PayPay is not accepted.

■C Set (Taiwanese ramen + Mini curry rice) ¥930 I really like this. The spicy level of the soup is just right, and each ingredient is delicious. I will definitely come back. The only downside is that I wish the opening hours were a bit longer.

It is located a 1-2 minute walk south from Kawaichisaka Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line. When you enter the shop, there are about 16 counter seats. You purchase a ticket for the Taiwan-style mixed noodles and hand it to the staff. They will ask if you want garlic or not, and this time I chose to have it. Soon after, the mixed noodles were brought to me. The toppings include minced meat, egg yolk, chopped chives, chopped seaweed, chopped green onions, fish powder, and garlic. The noodles are thick straight noodles seasoned with sauce. Mix the toppings, noodles, and sauce together before eating. The combination of the flavors of the minced meat, spicy taste, seaweed aroma, texture of chives and green onions, sauce, garlic, and fish powder creates a strong taste. The well-coated noodles are smooth to eat, enjoying the texture and throat sensation. Add the kombu vinegar on the table halfway through for a refreshing taste change. After finishing the noodles, you can add rice to the remaining sauce and enjoy it without wasting any. Next time, I would like to try the Taiwan ramen. Thank you for the meal.

I am in Kawachi Kosaka. Hmm, what should I have for lunch? I'm walking towards the station while thinking about it. Oh, there's a new restaurant I haven't seen before. It's called "Yui Maru" and they serve ramen and maze soba. I feel like having maze soba today. Alright, let's eat heartily!! I decided to go in. Since it was late, the restaurant was empty. I ordered the Taiwan-style maze soba and waited. It arrived looking nice with two types of green onions, seaweed, garlic, and a raw egg on top. Let's mix it up and eat. Mmm, it has a bold flavor. The garlic adds a nice kick. I can eat it heartily. I even added rice at the end and finished it all. My stomach is full now!

A Taiwan-style mixed noodle shop right by Minosaka Station. I've never had Taiwan-style mixed noodles before, so it's hard to evaluate, especially since I had the soy sauce mixed noodles. It came with seaweed on top, and I didn't like the smell of the sea when it arrived, but it goes well with the sauce. The noodles were thick, but they were well coated with the sauce and seemed well thought out! I visited around 12:30 and about half of the customers were there. I took the photo after eating the bamboo shoots and seasoned egg!

On a regular lunch day, I had a dish at this restaurant. It was their anniversary, so they had a limited time offer of Taiwan-style mixed noodles for 500 yen instead of the usual 830 yen! The noodles were chewy and the minced meat was plentiful. As a finishing touch, they offered complimentary fried rice that you could scoop up with a ladle. Thank you for the feast!

I visited Ramen and Maze Soba Yui Maru in Higashi Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture. I ordered the Taiwan Curry Maze Soba with extra noodles, extra Taiwan minced meat, and extra rice. The sauce was a fish and soy sauce base with a slightly spicy and oily flavor, enhanced by curry spices. The thick straight noodles had a great texture and paired well with the toppings such as minced meat, garlic, and fish powder. Adding vinegar seaweed halfway through provided a refreshing twist to the dish. I also tried the Taiwan Ramen set which included a mini curry rice, extra noodles, and a seasoned egg. The chicken and soy sauce broth was mild and easy to drink, while the noodles were thin and smooth. The minced meat and vegetables were flavorful, and the mini curry rice had a unique taste with a blend of pork bone and broth. Overall, both dishes were delicious and satisfying.

<First visit in September 2019> On a weekday afternoon, I had the opportunity to eat out and decided to visit this place that I had bookmarked. They have a system where you purchase a meal ticket before entering. The restaurant is very clean and bright, probably because it had recently opened. I ordered the following: - Dan Dan noodles (regular) (¥780) - Set menu A: Taiwan Mazesoba (¥950) - Taiwan Mazesoba + Mini Karaage I enjoyed the chewy texture of the thick noodles in the mazesoba, which had a satisfying umami flavor that didn't get boring until the last bite. The Dan Dan noodles had a creamy texture and a fragrant sesame aroma, making it quite a delicious dish. I would definitely consider revisiting this place.

Ramen and Mazesoba Menya Yuimaru in Osaka Ramen and mazesoba restaurant Menya Yuimaru is located just a minute's walk from Kawaishosaka Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line in Osaka. I visit this place quite often because it's so close to my workplace. I haven't written about it on my blog, but I actually go there about 3-4 times a month! Some of my friends who read my blog have also expressed interest in going there. However, it can be a bit challenging to visit because they support employment for people with disabilities, so their operating days and hours can be a bit limited. They are open on weekdays and irregular Saturdays from 11:30 to 14:30 (last order). Despite the limited hours, the taste they offer, passed down from their store in Miyako Island, Okinawa, is truly authentic and delicious. So, I recommend making the effort to visit at least once! Information about their Saturday openings and temporary closures can be found on their Instagram account. The restaurant uses a modern ticket vending machine system where you purchase your meal ticket upon entering. The interior has a 6-person island table in the middle and a counter with about 10 seats. The spacing between seats is quite comfortable. On the 10th of every month, they have a special promotion where you can get their Taiwan mazesoba, normally priced at 800 yen, for just 500 yen! They also offer set menus like the Value B Set, which includes soy sauce mazesoba and a mini Taiwan egg rice bowl. The soy sauce mazesoba is delicious with its chewy flat noodles, well-balanced soy sauce seasoning, and toppings like boiled egg, chopped seaweed, bamboo shoots, green onions, and chashu. The mild sauce has a strong seafood flavor, a punch of black pepper, and a perfect blend of oils. It's truly a delightful dish! Their mini Taiwan egg rice bowl comes with a generous portion of spicy Taiwan minced meat, green onions, chopped seaweed, and a raw egg yolk. The flavors blend perfectly with the rice, creating a rich and satisfying dish. In September, they will be open on the 7th, 21st, and 28th, in addition to regular weekdays. So, if you can't make it on weekdays, consider visiting on these Saturdays. Enjoy your meal at Menya Yuimaru!

Ramen and Mazesoba Restaurant Yui Maru in Osaka Ramen and mazesoba restaurant Yui Maru is located just a 1-minute walk from Kawaishiosaka Station on the Kintetsu Nara Line in Osaka. During the summer, some people lose their appetite or only crave cold dishes, but luckily, I am not one of them. I have a strong appetite all year round and tend to eat a lot, even in the summer. On this particular day, after having sukiyaki don at Yoshinoya, I found myself craving for something more fulfilling. I decided to try the Taiwan mazesoba DX, which is a deluxe version of the regular Taiwan mazesoba with additional toppings such as chashu, burnt cheese, and extra green onions. Despite being at work, I couldn't resist adding garlic for extra flavor. Mixing everything together, I eagerly broke the egg yolk in the middle and dug in. The thick flat noodles had a chewy texture that paired well with the spicy Taiwan minced meat, leeks, and other condiments. After finishing the noodles, I left a little bit to enjoy the different texture. Yui Maru is a restaurant that supports employment for people with disabilities, so they prioritize the safety of their employees, which is why they closed due to Typhoon No. 10 approaching. Although their operating hours are limited, the authentic taste of their dishes, influenced by Okinawa Miyakojima, makes it worth a visit. I always find myself craving their delicious food again after a while. Be sure to check out this unique and tasty restaurant if you get the chance. Enjoy your meal!

Hello June 2019! I have visited this restaurant a few times since it opened, but for some reason, they didn't have Taiwanese ramen when they first opened! (bitter smile) The restaurant seems to have settled down now, so I decided to visit again. "I wanted to try the Taiwanese ramen!" ⭐ Taiwanese Ramen and Curry Set The curry was disappointing, they should have made it Taiwanese curry! The portion size was small and not to my liking. "They missed the mark!" The curry tasted like the commercial curry I have had before. It would have been delicious if they had made it Taiwanese curry... Oh no! They ran out of island chili peppers! "Oh no!" Thank you for the meal~♪

#Taiwanese Curry Tsukemen#Taiwanese Curry May 2019 Taiwanese Tsukemen Curry Version! It was very delicious but... It's no longer Taiwanese Tsukemen! Taiwanese curry with minced meat and ramen soup base... It's delicious but... It's a mix of everything! (laughs) The regular Taiwanese Tsukemen with a hint of curry flavor added, delicious! (*≧∀≦*) When you add a touch of Terushino Ichimi and eat it... It's spicy but delicious! Hearty! The rich flavor of the mixed noodles and curry can be enjoyed like fast food! ⭐Terushino Ichimi⭐ Konbu vinegar Okinawan island chili pepper-like, spicy Ichimi pepper Oh~ It's extremely spicy I generously sprinkle it to make it extra spicy and enjoy it! Konbu vinegar that goes well with Okinawan soba Konbu's mild sweetness and non-pungent vinegar is very delicious! "Oops! I ended up eating Taiwanese ramen again!" Next time, I will definitely have Taiwanese ramen! It was delicious! Thank you for the meal~♪

Ramen and Mazesoba Menya Yuimaru @ Kozakahoncho, Higashi Osaka City, Nara Line from Kawaishiosaka Station is about a 1-minute walk away. This is the 17th installment of the lunch exploration series around Kawaishiosaka Station. This time, we visited "Menya Yuimaru" located on the 1st floor of Kosaka Building, just inside the Sanroad Kosaka shopping street on the south side of the station. Since its opening on February 4th this year, this was my fifth visit. In the past articles, you can find the following: 1st visit ⇒ Taiwan mazesoba 2nd visit ⇒ Tan-tan-men & Taiwan curry rice 3rd visit ⇒ Shoyu mazesoba 4th visit ⇒ Taiwan curry mazesoba They have a set menu that is 100 yen cheaper for each item, and if you show your student ID, you get an additional 100 yen off, making it very student-friendly. You can purchase your meal ticket at the ticket machine right after entering the shop. Oh... the Taiwan ramen is finally available on the menu now! I ordered the "Benefits C Set" for 930 yen, which includes the Taiwan ramen (780 yen) and a mini curry rice (250 yen). When ordering, they ask, "Is it okay with garlic?". Let's dig in. Although it's called Taiwan ramen, it's actually a Nagoya dish inspired by the Taiwanese dish "tantsumen" created by the owner of the Taiwanese restaurant "Misen" in the 1970s. The toppings include spicy minced pork, bean sprouts, white negi, and leeks. The soup base is a soy sauce ramen. It has a refreshing taste with a bit of spiciness and a punch of garlic. The spiciness is not too intense, more on the mild side. However, this level of spiciness might be enjoyable for those who are not fond of very spicy food. The noodles are wavy and medium-thick. They have a nice chewy texture, and the flavor of the wheat spreads nicely when you chew them. The curry is similar to the Taiwan curry I had before. It has a mild spiciness with a good amount of black pepper spice. If you want more spiciness, you can use the "terushino ichimi" on the table, which is a super spicy seasoning made from island chili peppers grown in Iheyajima, Okinawa. I finished all the soup as usual. It was quite filling, and my stomach was full. I haven't checked my weight since I broke my bones a month ago, but I'm sure it has increased... This time, thanks to the capsaicin effect of the terushino ichimi, it should be 0kcal, so that's good... (laughs) Thank you for the meal. In the store, bracelets and corsages made by users of welfare workshops are sold. Various people with disabilities are working hard to make these items, so please support them by purchasing.

▼Location▼ Located in the Sanroad Kosaka shopping street, just southwest of the south exit of Kintetsu Kawachi-Kosaka Station. ▼About the Shop▼ Yui Maru Osaka is a shop that opened in February 2019 as the Osaka branch of a popular shop in Okinawa and Miyako Island, known for its Taiwanese maze soba and ramen. ▼Menu▼ The menu includes Taiwanese maze soba, shoyu maze soba, extreme shoyu ramen, Taiwanese ramen, and dishes like Taiwanese curry rice. Sets with mini curry are also available. ▼Food Ordered▼ ▽Taiwanese Maze Soba (Regular) 800 yen▽ The Taiwanese maze soba is simple in appearance with minced meat, leeks, green onions, seaweed, fish powder, and egg yolk mixed with noodles and sauce. The overall taste is mild with a hint of spiciness and subtle sweetness, making it easy to eat. The noodles are thick and flat with whole wheat flour, cooked to a chewy texture that pairs well with the toppings. The meal is completed with a serving of rice mixed with the remaining ingredients. ▼Impressions▼ Yui Maru Osaka is the second branch of a popular shop from Okinawa, known for its Taiwanese maze soba and ramen. I visited the Osaka branch for the first time and tried their Taiwanese maze soba. While I personally prefer another shop's version, I still enjoyed the simplicity and taste of Yui Maru's dish. The shop only operates during weekdays in the daytime, making it a bit challenging to visit, but I would like to try their ramen next time.

2019 Ramen 30 Match - Part 11 This time, there are many articles about relatively recently opened restaurants. Here are 30 stores including those from the "Lunch Passport Kobe Edition". Of course, all of these stores are making their first appearance on this blog. Opened on February 4th, "Ramen and Mazesoba Yui Maru" (Osaka, Higashi-Osaka City, Kawachi Kosaka) Taiwanese mazesoba for 800 yen Although the name includes Taiwan, the origin dates back to the Taiwanese mazesoba in Nagoya in 2008. Nevertheless, why do they all look so similar? I think it would be nice to have a bit more originality...
