Instagram Account: @yunnaramen 【Restaurant Name】Strike Ken @ Tenjinbashi-rokuchome in Osaka 【Menu Name】Shinker + Ajitama 990 yen A collaboration between Fusuma ni Kakeru Nakazaki Itchome (a ramen shop that has closed) and Izakaya Nunko, Strike Ken is a place that I really like for its delicious food. It had been a while since my last visit, and this time I tried their two signature dishes - Strike and Shinker. As soon as the bowl was served, I could smell the truffle... Did they combine chicken white broth with clams? It's a very unique bowl of ramen that I haven't tasted anything similar to before. It was incredibly delicious. The noodles were a bit thick and had a substantial weight to them, which paired well with the soup. The chicken chashu was undeniably delicious, and the clams were plump and flavorful. The cabbage also surprisingly complemented the dish very well. This menu is truly one of a kind and I love it. Plus, the fact that they are open all day is great. The Tenjinbashi-rokuchome area is filled with many ramen and dining establishments, making it a great neighborhood. Thank you for the delicious meal. --------------------------------- ⭐️ Strike Ken 5-8-8 Tenjinbashi, Kita-ku, Osaka 【Tue-Sat】11:00-1:00 (open all day) 【Sun】11:00-23:00 (open all day) Closed on Mondays #ramen #ramenlover #noodles #ramenaddict #ramenlife #noodlegram #ramenlove #ramenlover #ramenreview #osaka #yummy #delicious #StrikeKen

I arrived around 11:30 and was able to enter the restaurant smoothly. I ordered the ramen with a seasoned egg. It arrived in less than 10 minutes. It looked delicious from the start. The soy sauce in the soup was exquisite, and the noodles were delicious as well. The seasoned egg and roasted pork were also excellent. Personally, this was the best ramen I've had in Osaka.

Straight ¥880 Chicken from ¥300 Visited on a holiday around 6:30 pm with 4 people. Purchased food tickets at the ticket machine at the entrance and were guided to the standby seats (laughs). After sitting down, the chicken and ramen arrived in about 5 minutes. The ramen had a traditional, appetizing appearance, but when I tried it, it wasn't the traditional taste... It was a delicious ramen with a modern flavor! The soup had a rich taste with a solid soy sauce base. The straight noodles were a perfect match ( ﾟДﾟ) Delicious toppings like crunchy bamboo shoots, chashu, etc... Everything on top was delicious... including the chicken! Thank you for the meal＼(^o^)／ I was very satisfied with the delicious ramen, but I wonder if the air conditioner in the restaurant is broken? It was so hot inside, like a steam room, that I couldn't stop sweating (^^ ;

The restaurant is located about a 2-3 minute walk from Osaka Metro Temmabashi Rokuchome Station. I visited around 1 o'clock in the afternoon. There were no people waiting in line when I arrived, but shortly after, 3-4 people arrived and a line started to form. The restaurant operates by purchasing a food ticket before entering. They offer two types of ramen: Straight (soy sauce-based) and Sinker (chicken white broth-based). I chose the Straight (with flavored egg) for 1000 yen this time. The noodles were medium-thick (slightly flat) and had a chewy texture with a good bite. The ramen had a satisfyingly tasty char siu, boiled egg, and a traditional yet deep soy sauce-based soup that was perfectly balanced and delicious.

Around 3 o'clock it was crowded, but when I visited around 4:30 after finishing my plans, it was empty. The straight noodles had a strong soy sauce flavor. It seemed like a store-bought soy sauce, but it was delicious. I want to try a different flavor next time!!

On Sunday around 2:30 PM, we waited in line and ordered soy sauce ramen, chicken white broth ramen, and fried chicken. Overall, it was delicious. The noodles and chashu were excellent. The fried chicken was also tasty. However, the chicken white broth soup had a slightly unique taste, which may be a matter of personal preference. You could taste the flavor of the condiments. The interior of the restaurant was a bit stuffy.

Straight 880 yen +++++++++++++++++++++ Toppings include chashu, green onions, menma, naruto, komatsuna, and nori. The noodles are medium thick straight noodles. The soup is a chicken bone and seafood-based broth. ========================= Visit day: Wednesday. Arrival time: 11:05 Weather today: Sunny. Number of people waiting: None.

The noodles are chewy with a good firmness and a perfect texture. The chashu is medium-thick with a slightly thick seasoning, very delicious like The Chashu♥ The crunchy texture of menma and the crispness of green onions are great accents. The komatsuna is surprisingly doing a good job ✨ I finished it in no time.

I finally visited the much-anticipated Strikeken ramen shop. I ordered the straight ramen with flavored egg, the famous fried chicken, and rice. The ramen was delicious! The soup had a strong bonito flavor, but also hints of other seafood that added depth and richness. It didn't seem to have any artificial seasoning, as my taste buds didn't detect any. The noodles looked simple like Chinese soba, but had a nice chewy texture and were tasty. The fried chicken, being a specialty, was simply delicious. This ramen was even better than I expected, and I would definitely want to eat it again.

Today I went to "Strikeken" ramen shop. There was only one person in line for lunch on Saturday, which was fewer than I expected, luckily (*^^*) This area seems to be a fierce battleground for ramen shops with lots of delicious looking places (^ ^) I waited a bit and then entered the shop. I bought a meal ticket at the vending machine♪ I ordered the MVP (special toppings) with extra noodles (1420 yen). It seemed like it had all the toppings on it. The ramen was served in about 5 minutes. It looked fancy with lots of green onions (^-^) The taste was like a traditional Chinese soba. The balance between the soup and noodles was good. The half-boiled egg and chashu were also classic. It was really straightforward and simple (^-^) I think there aren't many people who dislike this kind of ramen. It was delicious (*^^*) Thank you for the meal (^人^) When I left the shop, there were more than 10 people waiting in line.

After eating yakitori at a place in Shinjuku on a Sunday, I felt like having ramen as a finishing touch, so I came to this famous spot. The restaurant is filled with autographed photos of celebrities. I arrived at 7 pm on a Saturday and got in without having to wait. They only have two types of ramen, and since it was my first time there, I ordered the classic soy sauce ramen for 1000 yen. It came with seasoned egg, chashu pork, bamboo shoots, seaweed, and all the traditional toppings you'd expect in a soy sauce ramen. It's the kind of ramen you crave after a night of drinking. I hope this place continues to thrive for a long time.

I arrived a little after 11:30 for lunch. I was able to enter without waiting. - Straight Ramen with Flavored Egg (1000 yen) - Shinker Ramen (980 yen) with Extra Noodles (120 yen) ★ The straight ramen with fish sauce base has a rich and flavorful soup that goes well with the medium-thick noodles. The toppings include chashu, spinach, menma, naruto, nori, green onions, and a half-boiled flavored egg, making it luxurious and delicious. ★ The shinker ramen has a clam-based soup with chicken tenderloin and clams as toppings. It may look heavy, but it is actually refreshing. The chicken chashu is extremely tasty. The restaurant had a steady stream of customers coming in without a break, showing that it is a popular place. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

I came to Strikeken. I want to praise myself for coming straight to this area full of temptations. It's early, so there was no line! Now, I'll order the straight ramen with flavored egg! It arrived shortly, and the visual is good. The straight noodles are deliciously tangled with the soup. The soup is incredibly delicious too. It's straightforwardly delicious! I'm glad I came! However, the air conditioning is not working well, and it's hot! Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at Strikeken in Tenroku for the first time in the scorching heat. It had just opened and was already full, truly a thriving restaurant. The interior had a retro design with table seating for 2 or 3 people. The walls were covered with signed autographs. I didn't have to wait long before my bowl arrived! The soup had an old-fashioned chicken broth flavor, slightly sweet with a moderate amount of salt. It was nostalgic and simple. The soup had plenty of chicken oil, keeping it hot until the last bite. The noodles were about a size 16, with a light wheat flavor. While they didn't have a distinctive feature, they were well-balanced. The menma had a good volume and was soft and delicious. The pork shoulder had an old-fashioned seasoning, tender and tasty. It wasn't flashy, but it was a straight-forward and faithful bowl of ramen. Thank you for the meal.

No matter which one you choose to eat, the quality is top-notch! This time, I tried the straight noodles (chuka soba) and the cold ramen. They each have different types of noodles that match perfectly with their soup. The ingredients are delicious as usual, and I even end up finishing the soup.

This is a ramen shop in Tenroku, a fiercely competitive ramen district, that has been supported for a long time. I visited after a long time! The ramen is delicious, and the atmosphere of the shop has an old-fashioned ramen shop feeling that adds to the taste. Located across from a TV station, many famous people have also visited this ramen shop! Especially professional baseball players have been seen visiting frequently!

I arrived at Strikeken at 11:30 without waiting and took a seat. The place quickly filled up. There were many autographs from celebrities on display. They offer two types of ramen: Shoyu (soy sauce) and Toripaitan (chicken white broth). This time, I ordered the Shoyu MVP (special serving) for 1300 yen, which is basically a loaded bowl. The portion was generous with chashu, seasoned egg, wonton, bamboo shoots, spinach, and green onions. I thought it would be a traditional Chinese ramen, but the seafood aroma was strong. When I slurped the straight noodles, I noticed a different pleasant aroma compared to when I just drank the soup. The toppings didn't feel particularly special, but the perfect combination of noodles and soup was outstanding and exactly to my liking.

I came to Tenroku for work and felt like eating classic soy sauce ramen, so I went to Strikeken. I thought I might have to wait in line since it was after 1pm, but there were two empty seats so I purchased a meal ticket. I had the Ajitama Shoyu Ramen for 1000 yen. It was a classic soy sauce ramen with soup, toppings, and noodles. I even finished all the soup. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the restaurant around 20:20 on a regular night. They closed the curtain right after the next customer entered. It was a close call! I was impressed by the presentation when my bowl arrived. The soft-boiled eggs were cut in half, with a vibrant, richly colored yolk that looked amazing. The bowl and toppings, including naruto, were all cute. Not only did it look good, but it also tasted delicious! It might be the best Nostalgia Ramen in Osaka. I definitely want to visit again.

Second day of the Osaka expedition. Visited Osaka Tenmangu Shrine and then had lunch before heading back. Went to a recommended ramen shop called Strikeken. Arrived 15 minutes before it opened at 11am and there was already a line of three people waiting. As soon as it opened, the shop filled up quickly... this must be good. I ordered the straight soy sauce ramen with an extra seasoned egg. The presentation was amazing. It felt almost wasteful to break the egg with chopsticks (laughs). Took a sip of the soup. It was a straight-forward seafood broth. A soup that you could drink bowl after bowl of. It paired perfectly with the straight noodles. It all made sense why there was a line. Although there were so many toppings to choose from, everything was delicious. Osaka's ramen is truly impressive... Thank you for the meal.

Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station is home to many famous ramen shops. Today, I visited a shop that was selected as one of the top 100 ramen shops in the west in 2022. ◎ Strikeken I was able to enter without waiting as there were empty seats at the counter. Inside the shop, there were numerous autographed cards from celebrities and famous people. It's definitely a well-known shop. I ordered: - Straight Ajitama Ramen for 1,000 yen - Sinker Ajitama Ramen for 1,050 yen The Straight ramen is soy sauce-based with seafood broth. The noodles are medium thickness straight noodles that go well with the soup. The toppings include ajitama (flavored egg), seaweed, green onions, spinach, and menma, which is a classic lineup for a traditional ramen. While many shops offer complex flavors, this ramen is a straightforward classic, which I personally enjoy. The Sinker ramen that my companion ordered has a creamy white and slightly thick taste made from clam extract and chicken broth. While preferences may vary for the Straight ramen, many people seem to enjoy trying both options. The shop has 6 counter seats and an additional table seating for 4, with a bookshelf filled with manga. The exterior and interior design, along with the nostalgic Showa era vibes, create a pleasant atmosphere. ◎ Shop Name: Strikeken Address: 5-8-8 Tenjinbashi, Kita-ku, Osaka, Osaka Access: 2 minutes walk from Tenjinbashi Rokuchome Station Exit 12 Business Hours: Mon-Sat 11:00-1:00, Sun 11:00-23:00 Closed: None (may have temporary closures) Payment Method: Cash only, no cards accepted Seating Capacity: 10 seats (6 at the counter) Smoking: Not allowed Parking: Not available #Strikeken #Sinker #LoveSoySauceRamen #SoySauceRamen #Chukasoba #TenjinbashiRokuchomeGourmet #TenjinbashiRokuchomeLunch #TenjinbashiRokuchome #TenjinbashiShoppingStreetGourmet #Top100RamenShops #TabelogTop100 #OsakaRamen #OsakaRamenTour

On Friday at 8:00 PM, there was no waiting, and the restaurant was full when I arrived. Similar to last time, most of the customers seemed to be using the place after drinking. This time, I tried the "Shinker (regular) 980 yen" with chicken white broth (+ clams, scallops) from the other branch of the two-pillar system. I decided to skip the flavored egg this time, as I felt it was unnecessary last time. *If you add a flavored egg, the price becomes 1,100 yen (flavored egg 120 yen). The origin of the restaurant is a fusion of two different shops (Nunpoko in Tenroku + Komuganikakero in Nakazakicho), and the "Shinker" is an evolved version of raishin, but which shop's signature menu was it originally? It is priced 100 yen higher than the other signature dish "Straight". It was served in about 5 minutes. The appearance is more like clam chowder or cream stew rather than chicken white broth. Flake-shaped fried onions and what looks like Italian parsley seaweed add a Western touch to the dish. The small clams resemble asari clams, giving a vongole bianco-like impression. The mismatch with the bowl's design is interesting. The main aroma is chicken, but it is mild without any animal-like odor. It is relatively refreshing for a chicken white broth, with no stickiness or thickness. Also, the truffle oil does not overpower, which I found to be pleasant. On the other hand, the flavor and smokiness derived from the clam broth are not very perceptible, so I thought it would be nice if they had a bit more presence. The variety of ingredients makes the soup rich, but it already feels monotonous by the middle, even from the beginning. I wished for a bit more complexity in the flavor. The burnt onions and seaweed have weak flavors and do not have much effect beyond decoration, so I wish they could function more as accents. The chicken chashu also lacks flavor and has a slightly unpleasant texture, which is disappointing. One standout is the cabbage, which pairs well with the soup. I wish there were more of it. It reminded me a bit of "Mumei" in Kanda or "Montgomery" in Gakugeidaigaku. The noodles are not as yellow as straight noodles and have a somewhat lighter flavor. The soup is rich, so it doesn't become too heavy, which I found to be a good balance. I would have liked a bit more quantity. I thought it would be nice if they made it more hearty and European-style. Alternatively, if the seafood (clams + scallops) were more prominent, it would suit my taste better. I felt that the Straight was more straightforward, delicious, and had a higher level of completion.
