Naniwa Menjiro is a great place to eat in Umeda after finishing up some errands. The main store is located inside Kintetsu Namba Station. Although there was no line outside, the inside was fully packed. This time, I tried the Ajitama Golden Shell Ramen. The soup, made with Hinai-jidori chicken and shellfish broth, has a light yet deep flavor. The homemade thin noodles pair perfectly with the soup. The fried leeks and yuzu peel add a nice fragrance. The Mitsuba and thick bamboo shoots are also delicious. The seasoned egg with a creamy yolk and the tender, juicy char siu are top-notch. Overall, it was a refined and delicious bowl of ramen that you can enjoy at Hanshin Bar Yokocho.

This is my third visit. I arrived at 11:30 on Sunday, but there was already a line! It took about an hour to be seated. You order at the register before being seated. - Golden clam ramen 900 yen - Charred pork bowl 350 yen - Gyoza with garlic 350 yen The ramen soup is light and gentle, but the sweetness of the fat and the flavor of the clam that come later are strong and very delicious. The thin noodles have a refreshing texture, making this combination truly unbeatable. I finished every drop of the soup. The charred pork bowl also stimulates the appetite with its aroma. The gyoza has just the right amount of garlic and goes perfectly with the ramen. It's definitely worth the wait in line! Highly recommended!

It was crowded during the Hanshin Tigers championship sale, but it seemed like they ran out of special items and it was a bit less busy. The food is still delicious as always. Personally, I prefer this over the clam ramen. The chashu rice bowl is also delicious and highly recommended.

The ramen shop "Naniwa Menjiro," which gained popularity after training at the popular ramen shops "Moe Yomenosuke" and "Mugi to Menosuke" run by my older brother, opened in the gourmet zone of Hankyu Bar Alley. The ramen served here, which has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand award for two consecutive years, uses clams in the "Kai" (shellfish) and "Jidori" (free-range chicken) based broths, each highlighting the flavor of the ingredients. The "Jidori Shoyu Ramen" (950 yen) is made from a soup base using selected free-range chickens, mainly from Akita prefecture. The blend of multiple soy sauces adds a touch of sweetness without masking the richness of the chicken, resulting in a balanced and refreshing flavor. The medium-thin straight noodles with a slight wheat flavor complement the broth perfectly. The fact that they are open all day is also much appreciated.

Local chicken soy sauce ramen with flavored egg for ¥1,100. A small bottle of Heartland beer for ¥550. Hankyu Department Store is crowded due to the Hanshin Tigers winning sale. Surprisingly, the wait time was not too long. Both the clam broth and soy sauce ramen were delicious, but the soy sauce one paired better with beer. In the end, both were tasty. Thank you for the meal. #NaniwaMenjiroku #KansaiGourmet #OsakaGourmet #UmedaGourmet #KansaiRamen #OsakaRamen #UmedaRamen #Ramen #WantToConnectWithRamenLovers.

I came here recommended to try the Golden Shell Ramen for 1000 yen and the Seared Chashu Bowl for 350 yen. It turned out to be a big hit. Lately, I've been eating a lot of shellfish-based ramen. I wonder if it's a trend or just a coincidence. It was around 6:30 PM and there were two groups ahead of me in line. I was surprised when I was asked if I was okay with yuzu, mitsuba, and menma. I hope it was out of kindness and not because of a previous complaint. The ramen arrived first. It had a nice aroma of yuzu and shellfish broth. It looked simple with a light pink chashu which was delicious. The shellfish soup was tasty with a good balance of oil and richness. The seared chashu didn't have that strong smell I usually dislike. It was delicious and the rare chashu was great. I'll definitely add more chashu next time. The chashu bowl had fatty parts that went well with the rice. The seasoned egg was a nice addition and made the meal even more enjoyable. I want to try other ramen dishes here next time.

I gave it another try today after giving up last time due to the long line. I went around 11:20 on a weekday and there were about 5 groups ahead of me, but I was able to get in quickly. I ordered the special golden shell ramen. The soup was a bit salty, but the noodles were very delicious. The thinly sliced chashu was also very tasty.

I ordered the famous dishes at the basement 2nd floor of Hankyu Department Store! I had the Golden Scallop Ramen (1,000 yen) and the seared pork bowl (350 yen). The ramen had a light taste with a strong scallop broth, and the pork bowl had flavorful seared pork on top.

I tried to go once before but gave up due to the long line, so I came back for revenge! Since it was past lunchtime, there were fewer people and I was able to get in quickly. I had the special chicken soy sauce ramen, and the noodles were smooth and the soup had a rich flavor, it was very delicious. The chashu was also moist. My companion also praised it highly. I would like to go try the clam ramen next time!

This popular restaurant often has long lines. Their specialties include: - Jidori Shoyu Ramen with seasoned egg for 1150 yen - Golden Clam Ramen with seasoned egg for 1150 yen - Seared Chashu Rice Bowl for 350 yen The soup is flavorful with a soy sauce base and rich broth. The chashu is moist and fatty, making it delicious. Prices are a bit high due to the location in a department store, but the meal was satisfying.

Around 3:30 on a Sunday, I visited the second basement floor of Hankyu Department Store in Osaka Station. This floor has many delicious-looking restaurants that catch your eye. Upon entering, you order and pay at the register, and the interior of the restaurant, which looks like a small Japanese-style eatery, features stylish background music. The atmosphere is nice, and there is a counter that seats eight people and four small tables for two, with mostly female customers. After a short wait, my dish arrived. The clear broth soup is made with chicken broth and soy sauce, topped with mitsuba (Japanese wild parsley) and chopped yuzu citrus. The strong umami flavor of the chicken is delicious, and the characteristic of this establishment is the sweet soy sauce. The subtle sweetness enhances the flavor of the chicken, and the soy sauce itself is rich and tasty. Mixing in the chopped yuzu citrus halfway through allows you to enjoy a refreshing change in flavor. The straight, medium-thin noodles have a supple texture. The seared shoulder loin is incredibly delicious, with a mellow meaty flavor, while the chicken thigh meat has a firm texture, is light, and goes well with the flavorful soup. It's great to be able to enjoy ramen of this quality throughout the day. Thank you for the meal.

The chashu is incredibly delicious. It's so tender and juicy. Eating the egg yolk and drinking the soy sauce ramen soup makes it "complete"... The clam soup and soy sauce are both tasty, but is there a clear winner? The chashu is delicious. The chashu donburi feels a bit bland? Maybe I didn't need to order it. The interior of the restaurant is clean, and the payment system is efficient as you pay first, so even though there may be a line, it moves smoothly.

Noodle Jiro, always lined up before opening. Arrived 5 minutes early! Already 5 people waiting. Ordered the special soy sauce ramen. The soup is clear and really delicious. The noodles are smooth and chewy, with a great texture. A truly perfect bowl!

I visited around 11:30 on a weekday. The famous restaurant in the station was already crowded with a long line. I waited for about 20 minutes and then sat down. I had already placed my order (soy sauce ramen with chashu), so it arrived in about 3 minutes. The noodles were slightly firm and went well with the rich soy sauce-based soup. The sliced chashu bowl was easy to eat and not too heavy, I finished it quickly. I would definitely visit again. Thank you for the meal!

I went at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday. There was a line, about 20 people waiting. It's cool, so I can wait. The interior of the restaurant is small but clean and feels safe. I ordered the Golden Shell Ramen with special rice. The ramen has thin straight noodles with a slightly firm texture. The soup is tasty at first, but it starts to taste too salty as you eat. The chashu is thinly sliced but delicious. I ordered a regular portion of rice, but it was a bit small.

There are many counter seats, making it easy for even one person to dine. I went before 7:00 PM and there was a line! Adding the flavored egg was the right choice - it was delicious. The gyoza comes with the option of garlic or no garlic, and of course I chose garlic.笑

I came to a ramen shop on the second basement floor of Hankyu Department Store. Usually, there is a long line, but this time I was able to get in right away. The interior of the shop was very clean and nice. There were also many women. I thought it was easy to enter. I had the Chicken Soy Sauce Ramen (900 yen).

The deliciousness of the clam broth ramen was taught to me by the shop, "Naniwa Menjiro Zen". The moment I entered the shop, the aroma of the chashu pork that hadn't even arrived yet made my mouth water. After about 10 minutes of waiting, the ramen arrived in front of me. The seared chashu, clam broth, and refreshing yuzu flavor, that aroma! One sip of the soup, one bite of the noodles, and then a big bite of the rare chashu wrapped noodles! I kept eating in silence and before I knew it, the bowl was empty...

The restaurant seems to specialize in clam broth soup, but as a soy sauce lover, I ignored that and ordered soy sauce ramen instead. In the end, I should have just ordered the clam broth soup at this restaurant. The thick, sweet soy sauce broth tasted like overly boiled soy sauce, which I didn't enjoy. The boiled egg, however, was delicious. I wonder if it was boiled in the same broth...

Ramen shop located on the basement 2nd floor of Hankyu Department Store in Osaka Station. The main branch "Naniwa Menjiro" inside Kintetsu Osaka-Namba Station has received a Michelin Bib Gourmand. There are many female customers. This time, I had the chicken soy sauce ramen with a flavored egg and the seared pork bowl. The soy sauce soup is on the sweeter side, with a light soy sauce flavor. It's a common taste these days, but it goes well with the pork bowl. These kinds of ramen have been popular lately.

Before noon, when I passed by, there were several people gathered in front of the restaurant. Despite feeling a bit of summer fatigue due to the daily heat, I was drawn to the menu photos in front of the store, which showed a light and savory seafood and chicken broth with thin noodles that I liked. The interior of the store was narrow (long?), but overall, the white wallpaper and bright lighting gave a spacious impression. The distance between the counter and table seats was appropriate, and there was no feeling of being cramped. I paid first and was guided to my seat. There were rice dishes and dumplings available, but I decided on the Golden Clam Ramen with a seasoned egg that I had seen earlier. After waiting a few minutes at the counter, the eagerly awaited ramen was handed to me by the kitchen staff. Since it was freshly made, steam was rising, and the appetizing smell of seafood and chicken broth stimulated my appetite. As shown in the photo, the appearance of the ramen was beautiful, and even among the light and savory (seafood and chicken broth Japanese-style) ramen, it was of a very high standard. When I first sipped the soup, the harmonious taste of clam and chicken broth felt gentle and pleasant, but as I continued to drink, the subtle bonito aroma added depth to the soup. Therefore, even as I progressed, it did not feel heavy, and it felt like I was drinking high-quality Japanese-style broth. The noodles were said to be medium thickness, but they were thinner than I imagined, easy to eat, and blended well with the soup, which I felt matched well with this broth. The chashu (presumably chicken) was soft and easy to eat. When eaten with the yuzu sprinkles, it provided a slight flavor change, making it easy to eat even towards the end. I have tried clam and chicken broth ramen before, but this ramen was flawless in appearance and taste. I would like to try rice dishes and dumplings next time.
