After a long time, I went to Kinuguramen. I ordered Kinshoyu (soy sauce) with thin noodles, while my companion ordered Osaka Black with thick noodles. When it comes to Kinuguramen, I always go for Kinshoyu! I love the sweetness and depth of this soup. The thin noodles are well coated with the soup. My companion was satisfied with the thick noodles of Osaka Black, which are flat.

I ordered the soy sauce ramen with thin noodles. The taste was quite light. I tried adding pepper and changing the flavor, but I couldn't really taste much. However, the seasoned egg was delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Since Dotonbori was built, I have been a regular customer at this ramen shop that I really like. I used to love their ramen with crushed raw garlic, but recently they started using grated garlic which I find not tasty at all. It's disappointing because I used to really enjoy their ramen among the many ramen shops in Minami. I wish they had informed us about the change or offered the option to have it without garlic.

I visited "Kinkuemon" in Namba, Osaka for a late-night meal after a drinking party. I was craving for Kinryu ramen, but the line was too long so I gave up. This place was empty and easy to get in. I remember having delicious black ramen at other places before! - Osaka Black Ramen @1000 yen: You can choose thick or thin noodles. I usually prefer thick noodles for a rich black soup like Shinpukusai-kan. I ordered and soon it arrived. I took a sip of the soup. What is this, it's so thin! The color looks dark but the taste is too weak! It's far from what I had before. My friend also said, "This is just hot water!" My friend ordered the gold soy sauce ramen. I tried a bit and indeed, it was like hot water (*≧∀≦*). The seasoned egg was tasty though. #Kinkuemon

I went to eat Osaka Black ramen after a long time! It was reliable at Kinkuemon! Come to think of it, I thought the soy sauce was delicious after eating Takaida Black ramen. I don't remember well, but I want to go ramen hunting in places like Higashiosaka again. It was really convenient that they were open late!

On Friday night in Dotonbori, a place overflowing with foreign tourists, any restaurant will thrive as long as the location is good. This restaurant symbolizes that. The atmosphere with foreign staff in the front and back was a bit off-putting, but I was pleasantly surprised by the delicious soy sauce ramen. I would calmly go back to try it again if it was nearby. The fried rice was decent. Thank you for the meal.

I went to the popular restaurant Kanekuemon in Minami, Osaka. I ordered Osaka Black ramen (thick noodles), bottled beer, and gyoza. The soup was not as soy sauce-flavored as it looked, but rather light and tasty. However, the noodles were a bit hard to slurp, and the flavored egg was only half-cooked. The gyoza was okay, but not exceptional. Hmm, I think this place is more geared towards inbound tourists and sightseers. In terms of the current quality of ramen, I would say it's just okay, not particularly delicious. The soup is good though, so I might try something else next time.

A ramen shop in Namba. The interior is minimal with a main counter. The black soup, which looks like Osaka Black, has a strong impact and is light in taste. The noodles are full of wheat flavor. The chashu is thick and the toppings like seasoned egg and bamboo shoots are also delicious!

It's been a while since I visited Kinugyuemon in Dotonbori. After the pandemic, the area is bustling with inbound tourists, especially along Sennichimae Street where many foreigners can be seen. Even Kinugyuemon has a line of foreign customers. It seems like inbound tourists really enjoy ramen. During the pandemic, there weren't many lines at ramen shops because it was mostly Japanese customers, but now with the inbound tourists, the lines are back. I ordered the classic Osaka Black ramen. The staff, both in the kitchen and the dining area, seem to be from Vietnam. Due to this, the fried rice menu is currently unavailable. I ordered the thin noodles with my Osaka Black, which goes well with rice. Maybe I should have ordered white rice as well.

I visited this restaurant after drinking as a way to finish off the night. However, I was quite shocked because even though it's a ramen shop, the ramen didn't really feel like ramen. You can choose from two types of noodles and even select the firmness, but the noodles didn't seem to be cooked properly. Thank you for the meal.

I had always been curious about this restaurant, but it was always full and I couldn't get in! That's Kinkuemon! When I went inside, there were autographs of celebrities lined up. I ordered the most popular black ramen! It wasn't too heavy or too light, and it had just the right taste that soaked into my body after drinking. I was lucky that it wasn't crowded today!

After sightseeing in Osaka, I snuck out of my hotel late at night to visit this ramen shop. I had decided to go to King Ryu Ramen in Namba after researching ramen shops open late, and then found this place that looked delicious and didn't overlap with my first choice. It turned out to be a great find. The chicken and soy sauce broth was fragrant and delicious, and the noodles were just the right thickness for my taste. The toppings were also perfect - the char siu was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the soft-boiled egg was perfectly cooked, and the green onions added a nice crunch. Eating it all together was a delight. I was so happy to find such delicious ramen late at night. If this place was near where I live, I would definitely become a regular customer. Inside the shop, there were autographs from comedians I often see on Osaka Channel, which was a nice touch.

Late-night Ramen in Dotonbori When in Osaka, after a night of drinking, the best way to end the night is with a bowl of ramen. It was late, so we wandered around looking for an open restaurant and stumbled upon Kanekyuemon in Dotonbori. It was around 1 am, but the place was almost full. I purchased a food ticket and sat at the counter. I ordered the soy sauce ramen, which had a light and savory flavor that was perfect for late-night dining. It was light yet flavorful, making it the perfect ramen to enjoy after a night of drinking. Indulging in this late-night ramen felt a bit sinful, but it was truly satisfying. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely visit again. - Kanekyuemon Dotonbori Branch Address: 1-4-17 Dotonbori, Chuo-ku, Osaka, 542-0071 Phone: 06-6211-5502 - Eat-in - Takeout - Delivery Follow @otoko_gourmet_reporter for more food reviews. #Osaka #ramen #Dotonbori #late-night ramen #Kansai #gourmet #foodie #foodblog

This is Kinuguruemon Dotonbori branch! I visited during work break. Dotonbori is packed with people on weekends, mostly foreign tourists. It's around 4 PM, but they are open all day. I had their special soy sauce ramen with maruchou horumon topping. The soup is a combination of animal-based broth and light soy sauce, with added garlic. The garlic goes well with the light soup. I chose thin noodles, which were delicious with the soup. The thick-cut bamboo shoots were crunchy, green onions added a nice texture, and the fatty chashu was tender. The maruchou horumon topping was juicy and tasty. It was a delicious bowl with a light and flavorful broth.

"Kinkuuemon in Dotonbori is open until late at night! It's rare to find a ramen shop open past 1 am. I ordered the Osaka Black ramen and pork bowl. The soup was rich and delicious as always. I love the thick flat noodles they serve here!"

This post is a reminder for myself so I don't forget how delicious the restaurant I visited was. I have only listed the scores based on how tasty I found the food as a personal memo. Please note that these scores may be influenced by my physical condition and emotions.

I thought the line wasn't that long, but when I stood next to my second son, about four more tourists joined the line in front of us unexpectedly, so we ended up waiting longer than planned. The restaurant was supposed to be closed, but the ticket machine was out of order. However, it was later fixed. We waited quite a bit, but the taste was good! The black ramen was delicious, and the pork was also tasty.

Today (3/7), I visited a restaurant near Namba Station in Osaka, just like the day before. I walked to Dotonbori and visited this shop. When I tried to buy Osaka Black at the ticket machine outside the shop, there was only a button for "Osaka Black (with special boiled egg) for 950 yen." I asked, "Is there no option without the boiled egg?" and got a blunt reply, "No, it's the same price even without the boiled egg." So, I ended up buying a ticket with the boiled egg and entered the shop, sitting at the counter. Shortly after, the bowl arrived. As expected from something called Black, straight thin noodles with a wave shape peeked out from the jet-black soup, topped with chashu, menma, boiled egg, and chopped green onions. When I tried the soup with a spoon, I thought, "Hmm, this is a bit too lukewarm." The taste was okay, but this temperature was ruining the soup. The noodles were also soggy and not tasty at all. I left most of the soup, but managed to finish the solid ingredients (it cost 950 yen, what a waste). However, I couldn't help but wonder, is this place really related to that famous Kinkuemon chain? This was a disappointing bowl that left me with doubts.
