I tried the limited menu for June at the familiar "Ramen RPG" shop. With the sudden summer weather this past week, I've been feeling a bit of summer fatigue. I wasn't in the mood for tonkotsu or chicken broth, only craving for chuka soba or tantanmen. Feeling my age setting in~ Arrived at 11:50 PM, about 20% full, but by noon it was almost full! As always, the popularity here is consistent and impressive. Ordered the Tsubame Sanjo back fat chuka soba with tsukune topping. The dish arrived in 7 minutes. It's hard to find delicious Tsubame Sanjo-style ramen in Osaka, but generally, it's a fish-based broth with pork back fat floating on top. However, at Ramen RPG, they've adjusted the overall taste to be more Tsubame Sanjo-style with an animal-based soup and fish oil. Of course, the back fat is floating on top! The soup has a deep, rich flavor with a hint of sweetness, truly reminiscent of Tsubame Sanjo-style. The thick curly noodles provide a satisfying chew. The chashu, made from belly and shoulder loin, is delicious! The thick menma is a favorite of mine! The shredded seaweed is unusual but adds to the seafood flavor. The diced onions provide a nice texture contrast. And the tsukune topping I added was incredibly tasty! I could eat a whole bowl of rice with this tsukune (laughs). I considered adding spices for flavor variation, but found myself finishing the noodles and greedily drinking the soup with a spoon (laughs). As I was leaving, the owner said, "It was light, right?" Well, even though I, suffering from summer fatigue, devoured it, it was not heavy, but definitely substantial! It's not a Tsubame Sanjo specialty shop, so the preparation is different, but the owner's unique twist on Tsubame Sanjo-style is truly impressive. The taste was wonderful. Thank you for the meal.

The restaurant had two customers waiting before it even opened at 6 pm, and there was a steady stream of customers afterwards. This time, I ordered the "Rich Chicken and Pork" ramen with seasoned egg and chashu toppings. My companion ordered the "Rich Miso" ramen with the same toppings. We purchased our meal tickets before being seated. The "Rich Chicken and Pork" ramen had a thick, sweet and rich soup with a seafood flavor. It was delicious, but a bit too rich for me (in my 40s). The "Rich Miso" ramen had a lighter, spicy soup with a fluffy meatball inside, which was absolutely delicious! Next time, I'll try the regular "Rich" ramen!

There was no mention of fish powder in the description, so I thought it wasn't included and ordered, but it was heavily included. It was delicious but a big miss from my preference. I really don't want fish powder in chicken white broth. If I go again, I will try the tantanmen.

Popular ramen shop in a residential area of ​​Senrin #ramenrpg The rich soup, cooked for over 15 hours with chicken bones and pork bones, is a feature, and there is also a ramen that combines seafood. However, this time, I had the ● Rich Miso Noodle / 920, which won the Kansai Ultimate Ramen Award 2022 Runner-up Grand Prix. This is a bowl that combines homemade miso sauce with chicken, pork, and seafood soup! It is certainly rich and has a strong miso flavor! But it is smooth and delicious with butter! It also has corn in it, and the noodles were delicious! It is quite rich, so it may not be suitable for those who don't like strong flavors, but personally, I liked it! Many people ordered tsukemen!

Ramen RPG. A ramen shop in Senbayashi Omiya. I was planning to try the first-time special, but I couldn't resist and ended up getting the ramen that won the runner-up prize at the Ultimate Ramen Awards Kansai 2022, the "Rich Miso Noodles." I love miso ramen in general, but this one is definitely one of my favorites. The chicken, seafood, pork, and butter all blend together perfectly. I want to share this with my coworkers. I slurped up every last drop of the broth. Rich Miso Noodles 920 yen. Seasoned egg 120 yen.

Hello♪ It's Ramen Walking! Today, I went to Ramen RPG in Senbayashi Omiai and tried their "Rich Miso Noodle". My family wanted to have miso ramen on the weekend, so I decided to visit RPG, which was selected as the semi-grand prix winner in the Ultimate Ramen 2023 competition. I arrived at 18:40 and there were some customers already there but no waiting time. I ordered the Rich Miso Noodle for 920 yen. The soup was a blend of homemade miso sauce with chicken, pork, and seafood broth. The taste was unique with a balance of sweetness, miso richness, and a hint of spiciness. The noodles were thin and straight, cooked perfectly. The toppings included chashu, menma, corn, green onions, and spinach, adding variety to the dish. Overall, it was a delicious and satisfying experience. Thank you, Ramen RPG! Total steps today: 12,976 steps. Calories burned: 484 kcal.

Around 6:50 pm on Sunday. There were 4 customers in the restaurant, with plenty of available seating. I relied on Google Maps to find the restaurant and ended up in a one-way street maze, wandering through narrow roads. I decided that next time I will approach from the south side. There were two men in the kitchen behind the counter, and both of them provided very polite and pleasant service. The tantanmen (soupless spicy noodles) I ordered was delicious and had a good portion size. While the use of authentic Chinese spices was not evident, it still satisfied my expectations for the flavor and richness of tantanmen. The other menu items also looked very appetizing, so I definitely want to visit again and try something else. It's a bit far from my usual area, but I will definitely come back.

Yes, it's ramen time! "Tsubame Sanjo Back Fat Chuka Soba 900 yen" with "Extra Toppings +300 yen". This time, I headed to "ramenRPG" in Senbayashi. They were offering a limited edition "Tsubame Sanjo Back Fat Chuka Soba" until the end of June. The owner went all the way to the source just for this limited edition, so I knew I had to try it as a fan of Tsubame Sanjo ramen. I made it just in time before they stopped serving it! I purchased the tickets for "Tsubame Sanjo Back Fat Chuka Soba" and "Extra Toppings" from the ticket machine and sat at the counter. After a short wait, the bowl arrived. [Visual] The soup had floating back fat and a sprinkle of roasted seaweed, giving it that Tsubame Sanjo vibe, but being from RPG, the soup looked rich and creamy! [Soup] I took a sip of the soup... so delicious! Despite the rich appearance, the base of chicken and pork bone soup combined with seafood broth gives it a surprisingly light taste. The abundance of back fat adds a rich sweetness that really enhances the flavor! This soup is just too good! [Noodles] The noodles were thick and chewy flat noodles. They had a smooth texture and paired perfectly with the soup. [Toppings] The flavorful egg yolk in the vibrant seasoned egg is a must-have topping! The roasted seaweed is also essential for this soup! I enjoyed every bite and finished it all. Thank you for the meal. They mentioned that they might consider bringing it back in winter due to its popularity, so if you haven't tried it yet, be sure to check for the next release!

I visited "RAMEN RPG" in Senbayashi, Asahi-ku and tried their limited-time "Tsubame Sanjo back fat ramen (900 yen)". The broth is a combination of pork bone, chicken bone, and seafood dashi with a low viscosity, enriched with back fat and soy sauce seasoned with fish oil. It has a mellow and well-balanced flavor with the fish dashi's strong umami and acidity complemented by the moderate richness of chicken and pork bone. The sweetness of the back fat and the aroma of pork belly seaweed create a harmonious and flavorful broth. The noodles are thick and curly, using "Menya Teiitsu" brand's flat-cut No. 10 noodles, providing a good chewy texture and firmness. The chashu pork consists of two types of meat, pork belly and shoulder loin, with a tender texture and delicious seasoning, allowing the meat's umami flavor to shine through. You can also adjust the taste by adding pepper or shichimi spice at the table.

I used it in the early afternoon. The inside of the restaurant had several table seats and was full of customers even in the afternoon. I ordered the tantanmen and chashu rice bowl from the menu. The ramen had a rich soup that mixed well with the noodles, and I ended up finishing the soup completely.

I visited the restaurant during lunchtime. I arrived around 1:30 pm and was able to enter without waiting. The interior was about 60% full. I was interested in this restaurant in Senri Omiya after reading reviews on the Milevi app. The interior has 6 counter seats, 2-seat tables, and 4-seat tables. There are no partitions between the seats, and the spacing is wide. The chic interior design creates a calming atmosphere. The restaurant has been open for 3 years, so it still looks clean and new. This time, I ordered the "Rich Tan Tan Noodle for 920 yen". It arrived in about 8 minutes. The soup is based on a rich chicken and pork broth, with sesame sauce, spicy oil, and Sichuan pepper oil. Despite its appearance, it was slightly spicy with almost no numbing sensation, which left me feeling a bit unsatisfied. Perhaps the richness of the animal broth is overpowering. The medium-thin straight noodles were cooked to the right firmness, with a satisfying chewy texture. I liked it quite a bit. The toppings included pork belly, meat miso, bamboo shoots, Chinese cabbage, nuts, shredded chili pepper, and green onions. The pork belly was fragrant, and the balance of lean and fatty meat was excellent. It was the most impressive part. Overall, the Tan Tan noodles were mild and easy to eat. Thank you for the meal.

After passing through the Senrin Shopping Street and walking a few minutes, it was relatively empty as it was a weekday evening. This time, I had miso ramen. The miso soup was slightly spicy, but the butter added a nice touch. By skillfully melting it while eating, you can enjoy a change in taste.

During weekdays for lunch, I visited Senbayashi Shopping Street, one of the three major shopping streets in Osaka. It's about a 2-minute walk from Senri-Omiya Station, but it seems to take a little over 5 minutes from Keihan Senri-Chuo Station. There are two chairs in front of the shop, so you can sit and wait before entering. Purchase a ticket from the machine, then take a seat at the counter. The clean interior is mainly black, with a straight counter that can seat about 6 people, as well as two-person and four-person tables. The owner and staff are very friendly and welcoming. After handing over the ticket, you wait a bit before the ramen is served. The soup is a rich dark brown color, combining chicken and pork bone with seafood and soy sauce. It comes with pepper on top by default. The creamy soup, a blend of rich chicken and pork bone flavors with soy sauce, has a light sweetness and heaviness to it. The balance of seafood was good, with no bitterness or roughness. The original soup is delicious, so personally, I felt that pepper was unnecessary. The medium-thin straight noodles are well coated with the soup. The pork belly is tender, while the pork loin has a thickness and chewy texture. Thank you for the meal.

I entered the restaurant around 6:00 PM. It was raining, but there were already about 3 people inside. I ordered the limited-time only boiled sardine tsukemen. It seems like the limited menu changes depending on the whim of the owner. After about 10 minutes, the noodles were served. The rich sardine broth blended into the soup and had a strong impact. The owner was friendly and easy to talk to.

I found a long line at the ramen shop Tsunomiya in the ramen RPG Senbayashi. "Was there a ramen shop in a place like this?" If my memory serves me right, it used to be a barber shop? I decided to give it a try and waited for about 20 minutes before being seated. I wasn't sure what to order, so I asked the waiter and ended up ordering the chicken-pork-seafood ramen. It was rich but also light with a good umami flavor. I shared some gyoza with my friend, which were just average. It's better to think of this place as mainly a ramen shop. The ramen was indeed delicious, but if I had to wait 20 minutes in line, I'm not sure if I would come back next time... But if there's no line, I would definitely want to come back.

Second visit... I had planned to come back right after my first visit, but couldn't make it for some reason. I decided to try the maze-soba this time, so I didn't hesitate to order it. I arrived around 11:50 and managed to get in before the rush. The maze-soba was delicious just as I had hoped! After finishing my meal and leaving the restaurant, I saw a line forming outside... I was lucky to avoid waiting and be able to enjoy my meal. I'll definitely come back again!

First visit to a famous ramen shop near Senri Omiya. Despite being a first-time visitor, I ordered the garlic-packed mazesoba that caught my eye. As expected, the garlic was quite strong and added a stimulating flavor to the dish. However, the taste was relatively ordinary, and I felt that this menu was a one-time try. I am curious about the regular mazesoba and the soupless tantanmen at this shop.

Chicken, pork, and fish mixed noodles with thick noodles, delicious sauce with a Japanese touch, tasty chashu, meat miso, menma, fried onions, raw onions, chopped seaweed, and a raw egg yolk. It would have been better if there was shichimi spice on the table. The road in front of the restaurant is narrow and only fits one car. If the parking lot is full, it's better to arrive early. Be careful when driving back as you briefly pass through the arcade. It's best to go in a small car.

Today, I went on a ramen tour to Senri-Omiya and finally visited the shop that won the 2023 Ultimate Ramen Misao Division Runner-Up. I had been wanting to go for a long time and was able to visit without hitting the peak time. There was a wait of 3 people, but I entered the shop after about 10 minutes. I hesitated between miso and the classic "Chicken-Pork-Seafood Noodle," but this time I purchased the latter from the ticket machine. 13 minutes later, the bowl arrived. Soup: The soup is a combination of chicken, pork, and seafood broth. It blends chicken broth and pork bone broth with anchovy, mackerel, and bonito flakes to create a rich soup with a rounded soy sauce base that is easy to drink. Despite its rich appearance, the soup is very easy to consume, thanks to the balance of flavors. Noodles: The noodles are medium-thin straight noodles made by the noodle shop. They have a firm texture and a good bite, making them easy to slurp and complementing the soup well. Chashu: The chashu consists of pork belly and shoulder chashu, each slice tender and flavorful from being simmered. The slightly salty seasoning pairs well with the soup and provides a satisfying eating experience. Overall: I devoured the ramen, which was rich yet easy to eat due to the seafood influence. Even though I was full, I couldn't resist finishing the soup with a spoon. There are other menu items available, and I look forward to coming back next time to try the miso ramen.

Yes, it's ramen time! "ramenRPG" presents "Rich Miso Noodle". Today, we are introducing a shop in Senbayashi, just a few minutes' walk from the previously featured "Ramen MARCO". It's back-to-back ramen time! I visited "ramenRPG" after a long time. I was here for the "Ultimate Ramen 2023 Miso Division" runner-up, the "Rich Miso Noodle". I purchased my meal ticket and sat at the furthest counter. After a short wait, the bowl arrived. Visually, it looked rich as expected! There were two meatballs, and upon closer inspection, I noticed corn and other toppings. Quite luxurious for a standard bowl! The first sip of the soup was amazing! The base was a blend of chicken, pork, and seafood broth, combined with miso paste, creating a rich and flavorful broth that felt light on the palate. The noodles were medium-thin straight noodles that paired well with the rich broth, allowing the miso flavor and umami of the soup to spread in my mouth with each slurp. The toppings included pork chashu, menma, green onions, onions, shredded red chili peppers, and two meatballs, along with buttered corn! Is this all standard? (laughs) And those meatballs were amazing! They were soft and fluffy, melting in my mouth. Despite not being a fan of heavy ramen, I managed to finish the bowl easily without feeling weighed down. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

"I visited 'RAMEN RPG' in Senbayashi, Asahi-ku and tried their limited-time 'Garlic-packed!! Mazesoba, Regular 200g (950 yen).' The sauce is a soy-based tare with added niboshi oil, with a low viscosity and a slight spicy kick. It has a rounded soy sauce flavor with a hint of sweetness and a slight acidity from the mayonnaise, combined with a strong punch of garlic, creating a rich and hearty taste. The noodles are hand-kneaded thick curly noodles of 'Menya Teiaku' with a good chewy texture that allows the sauce and ingredients to stick well. The chashu has a tender texture and good seasoning, allowing you to enjoy the meat's umami flavor. Other ingredients include fried onions, back fat, bean sprouts, and chopped seaweed. The noodle portion is the same price for small 150g and regular 200g. You can also add pepper or shichimi on the table to change the flavor."
