Hey hey, this is not just ordinary soy sauce ramen!! The topping of hormone is super delicious! The floating chashu is also super delicious! The thick noodles are extremely tasty! The soup is ridiculously delicious!! This is definitely worth coming back for.

Osaka Black (830 yen) is located about a 5-minute walk from Fukae Hashi Station. The sign for the shop is small, so be careful not to pass by it. The rich soy sauce broth with flat thick noodles is similar to the Takaida style...?! As it looks, it's a strong soy sauce flavor. You can choose thin noodles, but I feel like the flat thick noodles prevent it from becoming too salty... Topping it with garlic (free) is amazing. Probably the best match in Japan (lol) The spiciness of the raw garlic makes the soy sauce milder, which is quite surprising.

Fukae Bridge Brown Ramen - 880 yen The soup is hot. The broth is a soy sauce flavor with a strong soy sauce aroma that stands out and tastes delicious. It's a unique flavor that I tried for the first time. The noodles are straight and thick, with a slightly curly texture, providing a satisfying bite. Personally, I would have preferred a softer, chewier texture. The toppings include chili oil, green onions, bamboo shoots, and chashu pork. The parking lot this time was Times Fukae Kita 2-chome, 110 yen for 45 minutes from 8:00 to 20:00.

"Deep Ebara Bridge Brown" 880 yen "Rice" 100 yen - No parking available - Ticket vending machine system 【Soup】 A rich and hearty pork bone and soy sauce soup that both balance and assert themselves well. The best pork bone soy sauce I've ever had. 【Noodles】 The default is thick noodles, but I asked for thin noodles with a firm texture, and they were incredibly delicious with a great chewy texture. 【Toppings】 The chashu, menma, and green onions were overshadowed by the delicious noodles and soup. I have visited Kin Kyuemon in Namba several times, but this was my first visit to the main store, which apparently has the Deep Ebara Bridge Brown only available here. I heard that the firmness of the thin noodles is tasty, and I can confirm that they were indeed delicious. It's amazing to find such delicious pork bone soup at a soy sauce specialty shop like this. There are no curtains or banners in front of the store, so be careful not to miss it when passing by. It's not an easily accessible location, but I definitely want to visit again. It was a feast, thank you.

I used to frequent the main store a long time ago, and even though the food is so delicious, it's always empty. I wonder why that is... Even though they use the same name as Kinokuniya, the quality at other locations is lacking. It's a bit of a hassle to come here, but considering the quality difference, it's definitely worth it. Well, personally, I'm happy when it's empty though, right?

The stylish main store, which now has branches in Dotonbori, Awaza, Suita City Esaka, Shijonawate, and Nanko ATC, is a popular ramen shop in Osaka. There is a ticket machine on the left side of the entrance, offering a variety of ramen such as Osaka Black, Kin Shoyu, Beni Shoyu, Fukae Bridge Brown, and Beni Shijimi, along with secret menu items and tsukemen. I ordered the standard Osaka Black ramen. The pitch-black soup has a deep flavor of burnt soy sauce, with layers of taste that become addictive. Despite its color, it has a light and refreshing taste. The noodles are thick, flat noodles specially made for this shop, which pairs perfectly with the soup. The chashu is flavorful, and the menma and green onions are meticulously prepared. I also had a small portion of pork bowl as a set, which had a good balance with chashu, green onions, and kimchi. It would be a great combination with gyoza or fried chicken and rice on weekdays.

I found a nice restaurant near Fukae Bridge Station and decided to try their Osaka Black ramen with extra noodles and a boiled egg for 1030 yen including tax. The soup is black but not spicy, with a rich umami flavor from the seafood broth and soy sauce. The thick noodles also complement the soup well. Despite the location being quiet, the restaurant seems to have many customers.

A super popular restaurant in Higashi Naruoka district. They offer high-quality ramen at affordable prices. Today's menu: Kin Shoyu Ramen for ¥780. Thin noodles, clear soy sauce soup, topped with chashu, green onions, and bamboo shoots.

I visited Kanekuemon, a ramen restaurant in Osaka, located about a 5-minute walk from Fukae Hashi Station. I had been wanting to go there for a while, but never had the chance to visit the Fukae Hashi area until today. I had expected the ramen to be salty based on its appearance, but it turned out to be quite delicious with a sweet soy sauce flavor. You can also choose the type of noodles, and I recommend the flat noodles as they go well with the soup. I found out that they have other branches in places like Dotonbori, so I would like to visit other locations as well. It was a ramen shop that made me want to come back again after a long time. #Kanekuemon #TakaidaRamen #FukaeHashi #Higashinari-ku #OsakaBlack

This place is located about a 5-minute walk from Fukae Bridge Station. It's a famous restaurant in Osaka that I haven't been able to visit despite being close to home. The soup is black but light and the chashu is tender! The atmosphere of the staff is also great, and I definitely want to come back!

Visited the main store of Kin Kyuemon after a few years. I came to eat Osaka Black, but now they have a variety of menu items. Maybe because it's the main store? I wonder if they had something like Naniwa Black last time I was here? They had a hidden menu written somewhere, but if they sell it with a ticket vending machine, there's no front or back to it, haha. Naniwa Black 880 yen. Set rice 100 yen.

After 11 o'clock, there were two groups of salarymen in the restaurant. They ordered the Osaka Black ramen for ¥830. It seems to be in the style of Takaida. The soup is pitch black, reminiscent of Takaida style, but the taste is different. This one has a salty soy sauce flavor with a clear edge, and hardly any sweetness. There is also oil floating on the surface. I chose thick noodles. The noodles are low in water content, making their presence clear. They seem to be outsourced noodles, similar to the type often found in fake Jiro-style ramen. For toppings, they had pork belly, green onions, and seasoned bamboo shoots. The pork belly was delicious, with the moisture fully extracted and a decent thickness.

This is the main store of Kinugurouemon! It's been quite a while, maybe a few years, since I last visited. Located between Fukae Bridge and Takaida, this popular shop was crowded, but I finally made it there around noon. There was a line outside, but after waiting for a while, I got inside in about 10 minutes. I bought a meal ticket from the ticket machine. The main store has some limited menu items as well. This time, I tried the Naniwa Gold with a boiled egg and topped with striped intestine hormone. It was my first time trying Naniwa Gold. The soup is a clear animal-based broth with a light soy sauce dressing in the center. You mix it as you eat, similar to Naniwa Black's light soy sauce type. The soy sauce dressing has a hint of seafood umami and a strong saltiness, making the soup delicious. I chose thin noodles, and they went well with the salty soy sauce soup. The texture of the green onions was good, and the thick bamboo shoot slices were crunchy. The boiled egg topping had a nice seasoning, and the thick slices of chashu were tender and tasty. The striped intestine hormone topping was soft and chewy, and Kinugurouemon's striped intestine hormone is always delicious. It had been years since I last visited Kinugurouemon's main store, and trying Naniwa Gold for the first time was quite delicious.

I have been to this famous Osaka black ramen shop more than 10 times, but this is my first time leaving a review. I'm not a big fan of soy sauce ramen, but I quite like the Osaka Black ramen here. I prefer rich flavors, so I always order the limited edition Fukae Bridge Brown ramen. It has a miso soy sauce-like taste, with a richness that sets it apart from regular soy sauce ramen. The recommended thick noodles go well with the soup and are delicious. The price is also reasonable at 880 yen, making it a great choice when you're near Fukae Bridge!

In search of "black", I set out for the third visit. Black ramen with boiled egg and pork bowl (small size). I have conquered all 100 famous ramen shops in Kansai, but this is the only one I keep coming back to. I just crave that black ramen. I tried the pork bowl for the first time, and it was light and good! The small size was enough. Thank you for the delicious meal. When leaving the restaurant, I thanked the master, saying "It was delicious." He replied, "Thank you. This is your third visit today." I mentioned that I have visited all 100 famous ramen shops in Kansai but keep coming back here. He said, "Thank you, that's encouraging." It was a nice conversation that showed the sincerity of the master. I will visit again next time.

It's been a while since I visited Kimukuen. They have different types of soy sauce like gold, brown, black, but only "red" stands out! The red soy sauce ramen is exceptionally delicious! I usually order gyoza, but today I chose the fried chicken! It was incredibly tasty! Goes well with beer~ The staff even asked, "Shall we make the ramen after you finish the beer and fried chicken?" Such polite service. It was a wonderful time!

When I went to Higashi-Osaka with my wife, we decided to try the ramen shop nearby that had the highest ratings. The name sounded familiar, and I remembered seeing it at Abeno Lucias before. After researching, I found out that the Lucias branch had closed, but the main branch should be located on the side street under the elevated tracks near Fukae Bridge. It was hard to find as it didn't have any conspicuous signs, like a hidden gem. We parked at a coin parking lot in the back and walked until we found it. It was almost noon, so the counter was empty. We checked the menu at the ticket machine by the entrance. There were options like Osaka Black, Naniwa Black, Naniwa Gold, Takaida Gold, which seemed to be different types of soy sauce. I ordered Osaka Black with a seasoned egg, while my wife got Gold Soy Sauce Ramen with a seasoned egg. We sat at the counter, handed over our tickets, and waited for about 5 minutes before our bowls arrived. The black soup wasn't as spicy as it looked, with a subtle seafood and soy sauce flavor. The thick straight noodles had a nice texture and were smooth to eat. The chashu was thick slices of rolled pork belly, and there were two thick menma bamboo shoots. The seasoned egg was perfectly cooked with a runny yolk. I also tried my wife's Gold Soy Sauce Ramen, but I found the Osaka Black more delicious and easier to eat. Thank you for the meal.

I had some business near Fukae Bridge, so I decided to stop by Hyakumeiten, which was nearby. I visited around 8:30 pm on a weekday. Since I couldn't see inside, I felt a bit hesitant to enter alone, but the staff greeted me warmly and the interior was spacious, which put me at ease. I purchased tickets for the Osaka Black and Ajitama ramen and took a seat at the counter. I followed the recommendation and chose the thick noodles. The soy sauce broth was rich and had a refreshing aftertaste, pairing perfectly with the noodles. It was as delicious as it looked! I'd like to try a different type next time.

I visited "Kinkuemon Main Store" located about a 5-minute walk from Shinoebashi Station on the subway. I arrived around 1 pm and there were 3 groups of customers already. The restaurant has a stylish design both inside and outside, typical of a ramen shop. There are table seats and counter seats, suitable for families, couples, or solo diners. I ordered the "Osaka Black" for 830 yen from the ticket machine. I took a seat at the counter and handed over my meal ticket. The ramen was served in about 5 minutes. The first thing that caught my eye was the pitch-black soup. The bamboo shoots were thick and large, indicating good quality. The chashu was made by tying and shaping pork belly, a unique and tasty touch. The noodles were medium-thick and almost straight, blending well with the rich soy sauce-based soup. The overall flavor was excellent. The soup was too rich to drink on its own, but I wished they had a menu item that could help finish it. The staff was friendly, and I would definitely like to visit again. Thank you for the meal.
