7-11 2 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Great, isn't it. I like "negi-miso" best. Link to post Share on other sites
Wizz 11 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Negi miso gets my vote too. With 2 helpings of gyoza. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted May 24, 2002 Share Posted May 24, 2002 Not a big fan, but tonkotsu is my favourite of the generic types. A sign of spending too much time in Kansai maybe. Totally local, but the place on Route 13 near the corner of Seibu in Amagasaki does a killer one called goma tare raamen. It's made with a sesame/miso paste. I've never seen it anywhere else. It's very heavy, but really hits the spot. Other recommended noodles in Kansai are the bibinmen you get at the yakiniku restaurant Mifukuen in Sakuranomiya (Osaka loop line). Korean cold noodles (the elasticy ones) in a kimuchi-base type sauce which you put in an iced soup to eat. I've had them elsewhere but they're nowhere near as good. Great yakiniku at Mifukuen too. It's right near the bridge 2 minutes from the station. As for gyoza, Akaman in Motomachi (Kobe, near but not in Chinatown). Their menu consists of gyoza and beer only! You eat them with a fantastic miso tare, not the usual vinegar-soy-rayuu one. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I like Miso-tonkotsu although Milk Ramen is also very delicious!! Link to post Share on other sites
kintaro 0 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I agree that Hakata and Sapporo have good ramen. I also found Setagaya Dori in Tokyo to have a lot of good places. I love the miso or shio with lots of garlic. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Generally, as you go east the taste gets saltier.... So I can understand Mr.Wiggles. I love the Kansai taste especially when it's Udon. Can't beat the Tonkotsu taste from Kyushu. I like Sapporo ramen, too and by all means +1 to Kintaro san... Look for places in Setagaya dori where the taxi's are stopping... wink wink Link to post Share on other sites
JA2340 16 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 OK, we will be in Osaka in October, any suggestions? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 JA, don't know any place in Osaka, BUT have a look for the dirtiest LOOKING place, tiny, wooden shack and that will prob be your place!! I love these little places that are cramped in every nook and cranny Link to post Share on other sites
Hotaka Scott 0 Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Am I misreading things or is this a 7 year old thread brought back to life by Mr thursday today? In any case, personal favorite/recommendation would be any variety of Toyama Black ramen; specifically Taiki Ramen . Link to post Share on other sites
