Yes, it's ramen time! "Chicken Clear Soup Light Dipping Noodles" for 1,100 yen at "Menya Denryu". The extremely popular restaurant in Osaka, "Kirimen Honten", closed at the end of July due to relocation. The shock of losing Kirimen was softened by the fact that the former manager, Den-san (also known as Tanaka), took over the location and opened "Menya Denryu" as an independent restaurant on September 1st. By the way, Tanaka used to be a sumo wrestler at Takasago stable, which is quite an unusual background! Finally, I visited the new restaurant. It's convenient that they have a reservation system. I ordered the "Chicken Clear Soup Light Dipping Noodles". I'm thrilled that my favorite Chin-Kiri is still on the regular menu! It's great that you can get 1.5 servings of noodles for the same price. I plan to have another meal later, but of course, I'll stick with 1.5 servings (lol). And don't forget to get some soy sauce. After a short wait, the noodles arrived. [Visual] The nostalgic visual is right in front of me! I'm so happy. The design of the noodle bowl has changed slightly. [Noodles] First, the noodles... They are delicious on their own, but dipping them in soy sauce is just unbelievably good! Although the flavor of the noodles is slightly different from the Kirimen era, it's clear that Den-san, who worked hard as a noodle maker during that time, has inherited the noodle-making DNA! [Soup] Next, dipping the noodles in the soup... Delicious! The richness of the chicken, a hint of acidity, a touch of spiciness, and the perfect balance of sweet and sour flavors are amazing! [Toppings] In the dipping sauce, there are tender slices of chashu! The flavor of the dipping sauce clings to the chashu, making it moist and delicious! After finishing the noodles, I enjoyed the soup with extra noodles and felt satisfied. Thank you for the meal. Congratulations on your independent opening. I look forward to seeing what you accomplish in the future. And of course, since I'm already here, I'll also visit that newly opened shop just 10 seconds away... To be continued in the next visit.
