Concept/Menu

This shop’s ramen is what is called “Iekei Ramen”, which is characterized by its pork bone and soy sauce based soup and thick straight noodles.

It is one of the most popular types of ramen in Japan today, especially among young people.

The ordering system is very simple and easy to order.

How to pay

Please insert money in the ticket machine and buy a ticket.

At this time I recommend that you buy a ticket for ramen as well as a ticket for rice.

When you hand the ticket to the shop worker, he will ask you how hard you want your noodles, how much flavor and how much oil you want.

If you have no particular preference, just order “everything normal” and you will be fine!

How to eat

You can eat it as you like, but I would like to introduce my recommended how to eat it!

First, eat a little ramen.

After that, put garlic and gochujang on the rice you ordered together with ramen, and sprinkle pepper lightly.

Then pour enough broth over the rice to cover it.

I highly recommend mixing it lightly and eating it!

You can have more rice free, so please give it a try!

access

If you are coming from Osaka, take the Hankyu train and get off at the station called Kotoen.

It takes about 30 minutes from Umeda Station to Kotoen Station.

Note that you need to change trains at Nishinomiya-Kitaguchi station on the way there.

Get off at Kotoen station and walk for about 5 minutes to see the shop.

Summary

How was it?

You should definitely visit one when you come to Japan!
