The taste is stable and the tonkotsu ramen is quite delicious. They are open until late and have a wide variety of side menu options, which is a strength of chain restaurants. It's a bit of a hassle that you have to tell the staff if you want ingredients like pickled mustard greens or bean sprouts. However, overall, there is a sense of satisfaction.

After a long time, I visited Ippudo. I ordered the A lunch set with gyoza and rice, choosing the Akamaru new flavor (1060 yen). Of course, I also ordered the free spicy bean sprouts. I started by eating the white marinated part without sauce first. Then, I mixed in the sauce to taste the Akamaru flavor. Finally, I added a small extra serving of noodles (100 yen) along with the remaining spicy bean sprouts to the soup, enjoying the spicy pork bone ramen until the end. It wasn't mind-blowing, but it was a reliably good ramen. Thank you for the meal.

I always visit Ichiran with the discount, and it's always delicious. I've only been to the Umeda and Namba stores, but both are always tasty. The staff and customers, especially at the Namba store, are popular with foreigners, and everyone looks happy eating. It makes me happy too.

Lunch set B (fried rice and your choice of ramen) was not lined up, but it was crowded inside the restaurant even though it was before 2 p.m. The fried rice and ramen were delicious after a long time! When I asked for pickled ginger and spicy bean sprouts, they brought them to me in a small dish (^○^)

Yesterday was the 11th, which was Ippudo Point Double Day. As a premium member who wants to protect their life at all costs, I was excited about the special offer of being able to eat regular ramen such as "Shiromaru Classic," "Akamaru Modern," and "Karaka Men" for only 550 yen including tax for a whole year. However, since I'm not a big fan of these regular menu items, I ended up eating a different ramen at the regular price. As a premium member, I do not have any free coupons for extras like "kaedama," "110 yen toppings," or gyoza. I am starting to think that I might actually benefit more if I downgrade to a regular member.

Why would a stingy man order paid vegetables instead of free spicy bean sprouts? It's because the free spicy bean sprouts are kept in the fridge and are cold, so when mixed with ramen, the soup cools down. Of course, I also enjoy the free spicy bean sprouts separately without adding them to the ramen. Red Maru New Flavor for 920 yen, Premium Member Price 550 yen. Tanmen Vegetables for 260 yen.

When I first became a ramen enthusiast, I used to frequent a shop near my workplace in Namba. I recently revisited the place after many years. The creamy tonkotsu broth had no unpleasant odor, and the ultra-thin noodles were delightfully crispy. The chashu was perfectly fatty and melted in my mouth. The seasoned egg was flavorful as well. For me, it was a nostalgic, joyful, and delicious bowl of ramen.

It was the Ippudo founding festival! Thanks to that, I'm getting closer to becoming a premium member for sure! The special menu for the founding festival, "#Revival Soy Sauce Tonkotsu," had the thickest noodles I've ever had at Ippudo. It says it's a revival, but I wonder if they had noodles this thick in the past? Ippudo Horie branch is different from other branches in that they don't have "#Karaka Men" as a regular menu item, but they have "#Soy Sauce Tonkotsu," which is completely different from the one I had this time. The noodles I had this time were thicker than Jiro's, with an impact similar to thick udon noodles but firmer.

I had some errands in Namba and happened to visit this shop as I passed by. The location is near the Nankai Namba Station exit 5, close to Edion Arena. I knew about the shops in Shinsaibashi and Umeda, but I didn't know there was one in Namba too. I ordered the Special Akamaru and mentaiko rice. When I saw the Special Akamaru again, the presentation was beautiful. The toppings included chashu, boiled egg, green onions, and wood ear mushrooms. The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles. The soup looked rich but was actually quite light. I also ordered an extra serving of noodles. Normally, they have pickled ginger and spicy mustard greens on the table, but now you have to order them from the staff, maybe due to COVID-19 measures. The mentaiko rice had a spicy kick that went well with the rice. Whether in Umeda, Shinsaibashi, or Namba, I've never been disappointed with Ippudo.

When you want to eat tonkotsu ramen with white ball noodles, barikata, seasoned egg topping, red pickled ginger, mustard greens, and spicy bean sprouts on the side, come here. The refreshing rooibos tea complements the meal perfectly. It's a satisfying experience that never disappoints. Thank you for the delicious meal.

Ippudo Namba Store [Namba, Naniwa-ku, Osaka City] As the night grows late and choices become limited, it was my first visit to Ippudo and I was grateful that they are open until late. The restaurant was bustling and there was a short wait. I was seated at the counter and ordered the Tamago Akamaru Ramen for 1030 yen. The soup was smooth and the straight thin noodles were enjoyable. There was nothing particularly outstanding, but it was a comforting and easy place to eat. [Business Hours] 10:30-23:00 [Sun-Thu], 10:30-1:00 [Fri, Sat, and days before holidays] (Last order 15 minutes before closing) [Closed] None [Parking] Not available Open throughout the day, easy to visit with both counter and table seating available.

Lately, I feel like I have caught the Ichiran Ramen bug, even though I'm not a big fan of tonkotsu ramen. Today, I had the Shirakawa vegetable and mentaiko rice with a soft-boiled egg on top. Oh, that was actually yesterday's lunch. I had to wait a bit because it was lunchtime, but I can wait as long as it takes. Despite the countless number of times I've been here, I just registered on the app for the first time.

"Ippudo Namba Store" Osaka, Namba, Naniwa-ku, 3-1-17 3 minutes walk from Nankai Namba Station 5 minutes walk from Namba Subway Station *Original Shiro Maru Flavor* A Set Lunch Tried this ramen at Tsunan's Aeon and loved it. There's a store in Osaka too. The soup is mild and delicious. Follow on Instagram and get a free boiled egg or extra noodles.

For breakfast and lunch after a business trip, I went to Ippudo!! Ippudo is the only tonkotsu ramen I can eat because it doesn't have that unpleasant smell. I've been craving it lately and had withdrawal symptoms. But what I love even more is the mentaiko rice with a soft-boiled egg on top. Today, the person next to me had two soft-boiled eggs on theirs!! Can you do that?! I'll try it next time!

Finally achieved 30 stamps in 5 months! Considering I only got 25 stamps in a year last year, I'm really putting in the effort this year. After enjoying a Akamaru (usually 890 yen) at Ippudo for 550 yen with my Ippudo Pass, I treated myself to a Black Mont Blanc as a reward. #DoublePointsDayOnThe11thOfEveryMonthAtIppudo #AimingForIppudoPremiumMembership #BlackMontBlanc

I suddenly felt like eating it and visited after a long time. It was crowded on that day, with a line extending outside. There are more foreigners these days. I ordered the Shiro Maru original flavor. The soup was creamy with no strong taste, and I could feel a hint of sweetness. The thin noodles were comforting, and I usually prefer them firm. The tender chashu pork was delicious when combined. Thank you for the meal!

Now, let's head to Osaka Dome (σ´∀｀)(σ´∀｀)σ aiming for 60 hits!!! We crossed the high-speed overpass and had the special Red Circle Tonkotsu at Ippudo. It was served with thin noodles, just the right amount, and a large portion of rice, so our stomachs were satisfied. The tonkotsu had a reduced amount of sauce and soup, making it easy to eat without a strong smell. It was delicious☆★☆★☆ (σ´∀｀)σ Thank you for visiting and viewing (´∀｀)/nankaihawks1’s gourmet guide [2022]Instagramhttps://instagram.com/nankaihawks1Twitterhttps://twitter.com/nankaihawks1Live Door Bloghttps://ameblo.jp/nankaihawks1

I arrived early for a meeting, so I decided to grab a bite to eat. It reminded me of about 12 years ago when I used to go to Ichiran in Doyama, Umeda with my part-time job friends 2-3 times a week. Back then, I used to prefer the white broth, but recently I've been leaning towards the red broth. I ordered the limited-time red miso ramen, and it was delicious. The noodles were medium thickness, which was different from the usual thin Hakata-style noodles. I wanted to try the thin noodles, so I ordered an extra serving. It was so good!

Well, well (´ω｀(´ω｀) The usual Christmas illuminations near the home base of Namba Osaka Stadium are a sight to see, right? (∩´∀｀)∩ As expected, the nearby Ichiran Ramen is always reliable, and this time I tried their special spicy noodles. It's spicy and makes my throat burn, but I'm starting to get used to it. It's not too harsh, but has a delicious addictive spiciness. I also had rice with it this time ٩( 'ω' )و٩( 'ω' )و yeah. The ramen goes well with pickled mustard greens and bean sprouts (*´-`)b Thank you for the delicious meal☆★☆★☆ (σ´∀｀)σ Thank you for visiting and reading (´∀｀)/ nankaihawks1’s gourmet guide [2021] Instagram: https://instagram.com/nankaihawks1 Twitter: https://twitter.com/nankaihawks1
