While on the move, I visited "Ramen Jacksons" in front of Fukushima Station (*´◒`*)ﾌｫ- I was in the mood for something rich, so I ordered the "Ajitama Tonkotsu (Fish and Pork Bone)" ramen♪ After saying hello to all the Maiko-san on the wall, my bowl arrived in about 10 minutes (*´꒳`*) The soup had a strong umami flavor with a Japanese twist, featuring a delicious pork bone soy sauce base that was easy to enjoy♡ The melt-in-your-mouth chashu was thickly sliced and easy to eat, with a great texture. The noodles had a satisfying chewiness and paired perfectly with the flavorful green onions. The saltiness was gentle, making it a bowl that I could eat every day (*´-`) This was my 290th bowl of ramen this year☆☆★ (Ramen 193, Tsukemen 79, others 19)

I drummed my tongue on the exquisite tsukemen. As I slurp a mouthful, the chewy texture of the noodles spreads throughout my mouth. The hot noodles intertwine with the cold dipping sauce, creating an exquisite contrast. The dipping sauce is a rich soup with a condensed seafood flavor, offering a deep and flavorful taste. With each mouthful, a fragrant aroma tickles my nostrils, stimulating my appetite. Don't miss the toppings. The fresh seaweed and slow-cooked chashu enhance the deliciousness even more. Especially the chashu, with its perfectly tender meat fibers that melt in the mouth. The green onions and nori garnishing the bowl add a vibrant touch to the overall presentation, balancing everything beautifully. This tsukemen offers customizable options for noodle type and soup thickness, allowing you to enjoy a bowl tailored to your preferences based on the season or mood. Overall, the freshness of the ingredients and delicate seasoning promise an exquisite dining experience.

Ramen Jacksons [Fukushima, Osaka City] As the name suggests, the owner is a fan of Michael Jackson and openly declares it. It was great to be able to visit during the Bon holiday break, as they are closed on Sundays. I highly recommend their Chashu Tsukemen (dipping noodles) with 200g of noodles for 1050 yen. The tsukemen here is a must-try, with medium thick noodles that contain whole wheat flour, giving them a slightly buckwheat-like color and a unique flavor and texture. The chashu, which is fatty like a steak, may seem tough at first glance, but it is surprisingly tender and easy to eat. The dipping sauce is of a standard type, with a thick consistency that enhances the noodles' texture. While the atmosphere may not be particularly flashy, the taste is consistently good. The restaurant has both table and counter seats, and the owner is polite and quiet, creating a calm dining environment that is welcoming for solo diners. [Business Hours] 11:30-14:30 (L.O.) 18:00-21:30 (L.O.) [Closed] Sundays [Payment Method] Cash only

It feels nostalgic and stable, like a classic fish, seafood, and pork bone broth ramen. While the popular fish and pork bone broths tend to become richer over time, the soup here is simple and gets better the more you slurp. The noodles are firm with a good bite. Personal preference, but with this soup, thinner noodles or slightly softer texture might be better.

You can't see inside from outside, so you won't know if it's crowded until you open the door. It seems to be a shop that specializes in tsukemen, but on a hot day, I decided to try the hot regular ramen and quickly changed my order to the regular size. It looks refreshing. The cold soup with animal fat removed, cold noodles, shredded chicken instead of chashu, wakame, green onions, and it looks cool. The soup has just the right amount of saltiness in its cold state. If you get tired of the refreshing taste, adding extra pepper or vinegar can make it even more refreshing, almost like cold noodles. Recommended for hot days!

Tabelog overall rating 3.64 Visit date: Thursday, July 20, 2023, 19:50 Order: - Kuntama Tsukemen 400g for 1,100 yen - Chilled Ramen (regular size) for 850 yen Upon arrival, there was no wait, and we were seated immediately. The interior of the restaurant was filled with Michael Jackson memorabilia, as well as autographed posters of famous sports and entertainment personalities. Kuntama Tsukemen is their signature dish, featuring tsukemen noodles and a unique smoked egg. The noodles were made of whole wheat and were thick and chewy, with a great texture. The dipping sauce was a mix of seafood and pork bone broth, leaning towards a lighter taste rather than being too rich. It had a distinct flavor of seafood that set it apart from similar dishes at other restaurants. The smoked egg added a nice smoky aroma to the dish. The Chilled Ramen was a limited-time menu item. The noodles were thin and straight, with a good amount of firmness. The soup had a strong flavor of soy sauce and seafood, without leaving a lingering spiciness. It maintained a good balance of flavors even when served cold. The service was attentive and polite. Despite some mixed reviews we had read before visiting, we found the restaurant to be delicious and memorable, even though it didn't have an overpowering impact on us.

The name of the restaurant gave it away, but inside the store, Michael Jackson's songs are playing! The owner must really love him. This time, I ordered the tsukemen with smoked egg. The dipping sauce seemed to be a fish powder-rich seafood pork bone broth. The noodles were made from whole wheat flour. The smoked flavor of the egg was quite strong, as you could tell just by looking at it. The egg had a strong taste, but the impact of the noodles and dipping sauce was mild. They had a cold ramen on the seasonal menu, which I should have tried instead.

In the hot summer, the chilled ramen series ❶ Here at Jackson's, located in the ramen battleground of Fukushima, they may not stand out, but they offer a consistently delicious taste, making them a hidden gem in the area. Nearby popular spots like Moe Menasuke and Ramen Jinsei JET always have long lines, but here, tucked away on a side street, you rarely have to wait in line, which is a relief. The shop is just a 3-minute walk west from JR Fukushima Station on the circular line, and you'll notice the owner's love for Michael Jackson with posters of him all around the place. Chilled Ramen (large serving for 950 yen): On a hot day like today, I opted for the chilled ramen. As soon as I tasted the soup, it was refreshing with a nice coolness to it. The soy sauce and seafood flavors gradually spread in my mouth as I sipped on it. The noodles were medium-thick straight noodles that had been chilled. They had a good chewiness and a pleasant texture, and even with the large serving, I didn't get tired of eating them. The toppings included chicken breast char siu, bamboo shoots, seaweed, green onions, fish cake, and wakame seaweed. The half-soft-boiled egg that comes with it by default is a nice touch. I love firm noodles, so I really enjoy chilled noodles that have been chilled. I can't wait for the upcoming summer chilled ramen season! 😂

I visited this place for lunch and decided to try their tsukemen since there were many reviews about it. The fish powder on top didn't have much aroma. The dipping sauce was light, which could be a matter of preference, but it lacked richness and left me feeling unsatisfied. The chashu was quite fatty and lacked flavor. I chose this place because it had high ratings and no lines, but now I understand that there is a reason why it's not crowded.

Tsukemen with flavored egg. Visited Jackson's, a popular restaurant in Fukushima, Osaka, for the first time in 10 years. As the name suggests, the owner of the restaurant is a fan of Michael Jackson. I used to frequent this restaurant when I lived nearby. Of course, the restaurant and the staff have aged, just like me. This time, I sat at the counter and ordered tsukemen instead of ramen. - Flavored egg tsukemen 950 yen - Medium portion (300g) 100 yen The noodles are medium thick and contain whole wheat, providing a good texture. The fish powder-based dipping sauce is light and delicious. It includes chopped chashu as well. In the case of tsukemen, you usually add soup at the end, but here you can drink it as it is. This was my 23rd visit in 57 bowls.

I arrived around 1:30 pm on a weekday near Fukushima, so I decided to look for a restaurant on Tabelog where I could enter without waiting. I had already decided on my order from the menu photos even before entering the restaurant, so I ordered the C set (gyoza + small rice) and the tonkotsu all toppings ramen. According to the reviews, the soup is made from pork, chicken, and seafood. While waiting, I enjoyed observing the interior of the restaurant. I thought it would be filled with Michael Jackson memorabilia, but there weren't many photos or posters, so I thought it was a bit lacking. The ramen was served in about 6-7 minutes. The presentation was excellent, and I had to resist the urge to dig in immediately due to how hungry I was. I took a photo first and then tasted the soup deeply... Wait, what?! I tasted the soup again deeply... Seriously?! I also enjoyed the aroma... not really. Then I slurped the noodles, which were... well, they were good, right? I ate half of the noodles and half of the toppings before finishing. The intensity of the flavor was not enough for someone like Michael who dances a lot and needs more energy, I think. I'm currently on a diet and really wanted to eat ramen, so I'm glad I could leave half of it. I'll visit again when I'm on a diet and really craving ramen! Maybe I should just stop...

I visited Fukushima to satisfy my regular ramen cravings. Among the many famous ramen shops, I visited "Jacksons" this time. The shop is run by a ramen-loving owner who is a big fan of Michael Jackson, so of course, the BGM in the store is all Michael Jackson! I arrived a little after 12 o'clock and there were only 2 groups ahead of me, so I was seated shortly. I was really hungry, so I ordered the large portion of tsukemen for 950 yen! When the tsukemen arrived, I was surprised. There was more than I expected, and if I wasn't so hungry, I probably wouldn't have been able to finish it because of the amount. The noodles were thick and heavy, resembling thin udon noodles. The soup was not too strong in flavor, with a mild and delicious taste! At first, I was overwhelmed by the amount, but as I slurped up the noodles, I finished it in no time. I will definitely remember this place when I'm hungry again! Be sure to check it out!

After finishing my business trip in Ehime and arriving at Itami Airport, I took a bus towards Umeda. However, the bus was going through Hotel Hankyu in Fukushima, so I got off at Fukushima Station and wandered around looking for dinner. I stumbled upon "Jacksons," a popular restaurant that I had high expectations for, but there were no other customers inside. It was around 9 pm, so maybe it was not as busy at this time, unlike around 7 pm when people might be finishing up their drinks. The interior of the restaurant was decorated with Michael Jackson memorabilia and posters, in line with the restaurant's name. I decided to order the seafood pork bone ramen for 750 yen and informed the stern-looking owner. The ramen arrived in less than 5 minutes in a unique, stylish bowl, with foamy soup, green onions, naruto, and a slice of chashu. I immediately tried the soup, which had a strong seafood flavor complemented by the pork bone base, making it very delicious without being too heavy. The noodles were also excellent, with a firm texture and a hint of wheat flavor. They mixed well with the soup, and I was very satisfied. As always, I finished every last drop of the soup, which had a good aftertaste that made me want to come back again. Considering the quality, the price of 750 yen was very reasonable for Fukushima. Thank you for the meal.

I visited a restaurant called "Jacksons" for lunch that day. The restaurant pays homage to Michael Jackson, with his music playing in the background. I decided to try their recommended dish, the "tsukemen with kantama" for 900 yen (tax included). The restaurant was quite busy, with about half of the customers ordering regular ramen. The tsukemen arrived with flat whole wheat noodles that had a nice aroma. The dipping sauce was rich and paired well with the noodles. The recommended "kantama" added a nice flavor and aroma to the dish. I also enjoyed the soup that came with the meal. Overall, it was a delicious experience. Thank you for the meal!

First visit. Jacksons near Fukushima Station. Friday, July 22, 2022. Visited during a work trip. I've been wanting to visit for a while and finally made it. Arrived at 12:46. Seated with available seats. Placed my order. At 12:58, my tsukemen arrived. Tsukemen for 800 yen, large serving (400g) for an extra 150 yen, and all toppings for an extra 400 yen, totaling 1350 yen. The whole wheat flat straight noodles were chewy and had a nice wheat flavor. The slightly rich pork bone-based soup with fish powder was light and delicious. The all toppings included chashu, seasoned egg, seaweed, and green onions, making for a luxurious and satisfying meal with 400g of noodles. It was a filling and satisfying meal. Thank you. #Jacksons #Fukushima

I had the fish and tonkotsu ramen. This is definitely a prejudice, but... When it comes to fish-based broth, I had the impression that the strong flavor of dried bonito would overshadow the goodness of tonkotsu. However, the gentle umami and flavor of shaved bonito matched perfectly with the mildness of tonkotsu, creating an exquisite soup that was not overpowering. The soup was very light, with outstanding umami and flavor, making it a bowl that you would want to drink up completely. I will definitely try a different ramen next time.

Every day, it's unbearably hot, isn't it? On days like this, nothing beats cold ramen! I don't want to wait in line in this heat, so let's go to Jackson's, where there's no queue. Jackson's may not stand out in the ramen battleground of Fukushima, but its quality is just as good as the popular shops. The shop is located about a 3-minute walk west from JR Fukushima Station, in a slightly less crowded area. Cold Ramen (Regular size 800 yen): This year, they only have the regular soy sauce cold ramen, unlike last year's limited-time "cold saba soba." When I tasted the soup, it had a refreshing touch and just the right amount of chill. As I drank more, the umami of soy sauce and seafood spread in my mouth. The noodles were medium-thick straight noodles. The cold and firm noodles had a good texture and went down smoothly, quite tasty! Toppings include chicken breast chashu, menma, seaweed, green onions, naruto, and wakame. The half-boiled egg, which is soft and runny, is a nice addition. Thanks to the consistent skills of the shop owner, who is a fan of Michael Jackson, I was able to appreciate the quality of their cold ramen once again.

Soy sauce ramen with dipping noodles, I'll have that. The atmosphere inside the restaurant feels nostalgic. The chashu is tender and melts in your mouth. The gentle broth, ramen, and Michael's singing voice all match perfectly, creating a delicious and relaxing afternoon meal. Thank you for the feast.

I moved to Kansai for a job assignment and had my first lunch here on the way to my new place. I've been here once before, so this is my second visit. This time, I came with a friend to help me out! Even though it's lunchtime, I was a bit tired from the morning, so I started with a bottle of beer to cheers! For food, I ordered the lunch set with gyoza. The lunch set C includes your choice of ramen, gyoza, and rice for ¥300. The gyoza comes in a set of 6 and has the typical taste of gyoza you'd expect. It's crispy and light, making it a great accompaniment to beer! I opted for no rice with my set. I chose the tsukemen with extra chashu and medium size for ¥1000 + ¥100. The thick noodles are made from whole wheat flour and have a smooth texture. The dipping sauce is a seafood-based with a medium level of thickness and a hint of sweetness, making it easy to eat. The toppings include chashu, diced chashu, menma, seaweed, naruto, and green onions. The extra chashu topping is quite large and adds a nice chewiness. I ordered the shio ramen with all toppings for ¥1100. The shio ramen has thin straight noodles with a slightly firm texture. The soup is light, almost on the thin side. The toppings include chashu, menma, seasoned egg, seaweed, white negi, and bean sprouts. It's a refreshing ramen that would be great after a drink. The interior of the restaurant plays MJ-related music, which was comfortable for me and my friend who love MJ. Next time, I'll try the tonkotsu ramen.

I ordered the all toppings tsukemen. The chashu in the dipping soup was tender and delicious. The chashu on the plate had a good amount of fat. The noodles were chewy yet smooth and tasty. Thank you for the meal.
