Hello (￣Д￣)ﾉ I am currently in Osaka, braving the scorching heat. After enjoying a refreshing cold dish, I am planning to head back to Kyoto, but I suddenly got hungry and decided to make a detour on my way back. There are many ramen shops in Osaka that I could choose from, but I have always been curious about a particular shop. That shop is #Shioshio (1-2-51 Tamagawa, Fukushima-ku, Osaka), as the name suggests, it is a salt ramen shop that many people have recommended. Looking at the photos, the soup looks beautiful. So, I decided to visit the shop on a whim. I arrived at the shop on my motorcycle and parked at the adjacent bicycle parking space. I went inside and checked the menu at the ticket machine. Among the various salt ramen options, I was intrigued by the spicy red yuzu flavor, so I ordered the Red Yuzu Shio Ramen for 980 yen. I handed over the ticket and took a seat at the counter. The counter has six seats, and there is also a table seat available. On the table, there are condiments like chili oil, vinegar, shichimi, and black pepper in a mill. After a short wait, the Red Yuzu Shio Ramen (regular size) for 980 yen arrived. The soup looked transparent and beautiful, garnished with finely chopped trefoil, green onions, menma, flavorful chashu, and floating red yuzu. It looked delicious. Without further ado, I dug in. First, the soup. The balance of broth and saltiness was perfect. Not too salty, and the umami of the broth gradually unfolded. The trefoil, green onions, and the spiciness and aroma of the red yuzu served as condiments that complemented the dish well. The fatty chashu was tender and flavorful, melting in the mouth. I slurped the noodles while savoring the sweetness of the fat and then washed it down with the soup. Without realizing it, I finished every last drop of the soup and noodles. This was a delicious salt ramen that I can highly recommend. It's not often easy to recommend a salt ramen shop, but this one would please anyone who tries it. Despite the hot summer weather, I enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you very much! PS Please refrain from pointing out that it's too hot for ramen in the summer. I just really enjoyed it (DOD)(´-ω-)ｳﾑ

Seasonal limited mountain salt cold ramen for 1,000 yen. This morning's freshly milled rice (medium) for 150 yen. I think it's consistently delicious around once a year. Check out their Instagram page for more: https://www.instagram.com/pleasure_to_meat

Today, in the 37-degree heat, I made my first visit to Shioshio, a place I had been wanting to try for a while. I arrived at 11:55 and there were 2 people waiting outside. I purchased the Yama Shio Chashu Ramen (large size) for 1350 yen from the ticket machine. I entered and sat down at 12:15. The food was served at 12:37. First, the soup - it was a bit strong but had a rich flavor without any off-tastes. Next, the chashu - it was tender and satisfying to eat. The medium-thick curly noodles were chewy. Personally, I would rate this salt ramen as one of the top 1 or 2 I've had. I finished the entire bowl in about 10 minutes. Ah, it was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

The clean interior of the restaurant exudes the warmth of wood. With 6 seats at the counter and 4 tables, the place was managed by just one person. Although tempted by the summer limited cold ramen, I decided on the regular salt ramen due to the warning of a longer wait time. The ramen that arrived was topped with plenty of white leeks, and it paired perfectly with the moderately rich soup. The thick curly noodles had a delightful chewy texture. It's easy to see why this place receives high praise!

It was often talked about as being in Fukushima Ward, so it was quite far from Shin-Fukushima. A rare shop in Osaka? They serve Aizu ramen, made with Aizu mountain salt. The salt is strong and very delicious. The beautiful chashu and noodles are excellent. But I made a mistake by adding extra green onions, and now I can't see the chashu. What a fool I am!

I wrote it with a lot of salt and went to check it out (lol). There were a few people lined up, but it took over 30 minutes to get in. When I finally got in, it was a one-man operation! No wonder it took so long... I ordered the salt ramen. Delicious! The broth was delicious! The chashu was amazing! It was worth the wait.

I went to Shioshio looking for some salt ramen, and this time I ordered the Aizu-yama salt ramen with extra noodles and the Happe pork belly rice bowl. About 5 minutes later, the ramen arrived, and just as I was about to sip the soup, the pork belly bowl came out! First, the soup! How is it? So delicious! And the pork belly bowl? It goes perfectly with the ramen! It was so good, the best ramen ever! I will definitely come back! Thank you for the meal ☺︎

Located next to the entrance of Shitafukushima Park, just south of Amidaike Street from Shin-Fukushima Station. I finally mustered up the courage to visit this place, which had caught my eye since it first opened. Arrived at the restaurant around 13:30, with only two people at the counter. Ordered the popular Aizu-yama salt ramen. The chashu was thinly sliced and easy to eat, but the soup felt a bit lacking. I personally wanted a stronger impact. It was a bit disappointing considering the good base. I was a bit worried about the owner's customer service based on reviews, but maybe they struggle when it gets busy? That was the impression I got. Thank you for the meal.

Went to Yuyama Shio Ramen for the Shio Shio Ramen priced at 850 yen. I went on a Saturday at 1 pm and was able to get in without waiting. The noodles were curly and chewy, and the soup was slightly sweet with a simple topping. The interior of the restaurant had only a counter and one table, and it was very hot inside. I ate while sweating a lot.

Ramen (980 yen). I waited outside alone for 5 minutes. During lunchtime, many office workers were there. They use Aizu mountain salt for this simple ramen. The saltiness is just right, not too strong. I especially love the egg, with a rich and delicious yolk. It adds a nice accent to the salty flavor. Maybe because it's light, I felt refreshed after finishing the meal.

I visited after a long time. Feeling a bit tired and hungry, I ordered the Spicy Miso and Sea Salt Ramen in large size (1200 yen tax included). The gentle salt soup and flavorful spicy miso will soothe your fatigue. Additionally, the delicious fried chicken (350 yen tax included) will satisfy your hunger. The fried chicken I tried for the first time was okay.

I love the salt ramen at this restaurant! I like to eat it as it is first and then add red yuzu later for a change in flavor! The chashu is also really delicious and tender. There's plenty of mitsuba too, which makes me happy! I always add extra mitsuba! I am satisfied again today.

This is a ramen shop that serves salt ramen with curly noodles and it is very delicious. When I went for lunch, the parking lot around here was always full, which was really frustrating. It took me over 30 minutes to find a parking spot near the shop, and I ended up having to walk a bit from a distant place... Taking the train is quite far to walk, so I'm not sure what the best way to get there is. But the ramen was really delicious. The salt ramen had a rich flavor, and the noodles were delicious. The chewy medium-thick curly noodles had the perfect texture and taste.

Hello ♪ It's Ramen Walking! Today, I had the "Aizu-yama Salt Ramen" at Shio Shio in Nakanoshima. I arrived at 19:40, and there were 2 couples ahead of me. I ordered the Aizu-yama Salt Ramen for 850 yen. The soup was not just a light salt ramen, but had a rich salt flavor with various ingredients, making it quite flavorful. The noodles were shiny and curly, with a chewy texture. The combination of salt and curly noodles was new to me, but it worked well. The toppings included chashu, menma, and green onions. The chashu was well-marbled and tender, with a slightly sweet taste that matched the salty soup. I finished every last bit of the ramen and soup. Thank you, Shio Shio!

You can enjoy Kitakata Ramen, which is rare in Kansai, at this restaurant. I visited on a Sunday afternoon, around 11:15 am, shortly after it opened at 11 am. There was one customer when I arrived, but the place quickly filled up. I ordered the Salt Ramen for 850 yen and the Lunch Limited Tripe and Rice for 300 yen, totaling 1250 yen. The taste was refreshing with a light salt flavor, but you could still feel the deep umami of the meat. The noodles were medium thick and curly, likely sourced from Kitakata. They were chewy and went perfectly with the soup. The Chashu had a light flavor but was juicy and delicious. When I lived in Kanto, there were many chain restaurants serving Kitakata Ramen, but they are rare in Kansai, making this place a special find. I will definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

Food log overall rating 3.67 Visit date: Sunday, June 18, 2023, 18:05 Order: - Red Yuzu Mountain Salt Ramen (large) 1,080 yen - Ajitama Mountain Salt Ramen (regular) 970 yen - Aizu Shio-kawa Chicken Gizzard Stew 380 yen When I arrived just after opening, the place was already full! It seems like the customers who arrived before opening time were the ones filling up the seats. I assumed there wouldn't be a wait based on the overall rating, but seeing a line before opening meant high expectations! I waited outside for about 10 minutes before entering. The interior had a small L-shaped counter and one table for 4-6 people, which is where I was seated. The noodles were medium-thick curly noodles with a smooth surface and a satisfying chewiness. The base soup was absolutely fantastic! It had a remarkably mild taste for a salt ramen. It wasn't bland or overly salty, and the flavor was so unique that I wondered where it originated from. It was just incredibly delicious! I've visited several top-ranked salt ramen shops in the past, but this one surpassed them all. The Red Yuzu ramen had a nice kick of spiciness and refreshing yuzu flavor, which was also delicious. As for the side dish of Aizu Shio-kawa Chicken Gizzard Stew, the quality of the chicken was good, but the soy sauce flavor was a bit overpowering. Despite not being a top-ranked or even a top 5000 shop, this place delivers a truly impressive taste experience. If you're looking for great salt ramen, this is the place to go!

Today I tried the salt ramen at this restaurant for the first time! I ordered the flavored egg salt ramen. The clear salt soup allows you to easily enjoy the gentle taste of salt... delicious! The medium-thick curly noodles have a good texture and firmness. The tender pork belly chashu is also delicious. Despite its simple appearance with flavored egg, bamboo shoots, and white leeks, it is a well-balanced bowl. It was delicious, thank you for the meal!

The soup is elegant and delicious with thick curly noodles. The seasoned egg is also tasty. However, the chashu slices are unexpectedly thick and fatty. It's delicious but it hits you right in the stomach (laughs). That's when I understood the purpose of the vinegar on the table! When you add vinegar, it instantly refreshes and you can keep eating more and more! So tasty!!

I woke up feeling like having something salty, so I visited "Shoppeshoppe" in Tamagawa. I unconsciously ordered the "Yama Shio Chashu Ramen" as always from the ticket machine. I still haven't figured out what "Yama Shio" is, but I'm pondering about it again today. In about 10 minutes, the bowl arrived. The light yet rich soup made with Aizu salt sparkled, and it was a dreamy soup. The chashu, lightly seasoned due to the simple soup, was tender and had a perfect harmony with the soup. The curly thick noodles had a chewy texture that I couldn't resist. It was a simple bowl, but I enjoyed it until the last bite, even feeling addicted to it. It was really delicious. This was my 168th bowl of ramen this year.

Lunch visit. Bought a meal ticket and lined up. It's a one-man operation but it's fast. - Ajitama Yama Shio Ramen with flavored egg - 1060 yen. The flavored egg is seasoned with salt. The noodles are curly and similar to Kitakata ramen. The soup has a slight oiliness, but it's not overpowering and delicious. The soup is piping hot. The chashu is tender. - Hajippe Braised Pork Rice Bowl - 300 yen. This was very delicious and gooey. The portion was generous and the braised pork was tender. Thank you for the meal.
