●●Waiting Situation●● I arrived at the restaurant at 12:00 on a weekday! There was no wait when I arrived. However, when I left, there were 5 people waiting. ●●Order●● I ordered the "Yama" for 1300 yen! ●●Soup●● The cold Japanese-style broth with grated yam was incredibly delicious!

I visited here for dinner near the hotel where I was staying. I ordered soy sauce wonton and requested to change to salt flavor using the ticket machine outside. It was a weekday around 5:30 pm, just after the evening business had started, and I thought I was the first customer, but there was already one person ahead of me. The salt wonton noodle was served in about 5 minutes. In the center of the bowl, there were green onions, seaweed, Chinese chives, two thinly sliced flavorful chashu pieces, four wontons, and 4-5 meatballs. The soup had a mild saltiness, with a deep flavor of chicken broth and Japanese-style dashi. The noodles were medium-thin, almost straight, soft but with a good texture, made with plenty of water, which paired perfectly with the delicate soup. It was very delicious, thank you for the meal.

This ramen shop has a unique atmosphere. First of all, the interior of the shop is hot, so comfortable clothing is necessary when visiting in the summer. However, despite the heat, the ramen served here is simple and delicious. One thing to note is the rule for extra noodles. Here, as part of the enjoyment of eating ramen, you must order extra noodles within 3 minutes, which is a unique rule that adds a fun competition element to eating. And the highlight is the chashu, which is the specialty of this shop. The ramen comes with plenty of thick, juicy chashu topping, and the flavor of the meat is exquisite. Chashu lovers will be delighted. Overall, this ramen shop has challenging elements like the heat and rules, but it is loved by many for its delicious food and unique atmosphere. For ramen fans, it is definitely a place worth visiting.

This is a highly-rated ramen shop known for its delicious food. The ticket machine is located outside, and it is a counter-only establishment. This time, I ordered the yam rice set with mountain yam topping. The noodles are so thick that you can't see them until you pick them up with your chopsticks. The noodles have a great chewy texture and are incredibly delicious. The slimy texture of the mountain yam adds a nice touch to the dish. While mountain topping soba is typically served with soba noodles, this dish is perfect for hot weather with its delicious flavor. After finishing the noodles, you can enjoy the yam rice, which is served with a thick soup. The soup remained delicious until the last drop.

A clear soy sauce ramen with few quirks! While there are many ramen shops with distinctive broth or unique soy sauce, this place serves a clear soup. I chose the soy sauce ramen with wontons, and the wontons were also delicious. The noodles are tasty too, and overall, it's a ramen with little individuality in a good way. But I think many people would enjoy this ramen. Just be prepared to wait in line!

I visited for dinner during a business trip to Osaka. I arrived around 6:30 pm on Tuesday and there were no other customers, just me. I purchased a soy sauce ramen (850 yen) from the ticket machine outside. It was served in about 5 minutes. The ramen consisted of 2 slices of chashu, seaweed, green onions, and bamboo shoots. The noodles had a square cut and a firm texture, which I personally liked. The soup was soy sauce-based and had a rich flavor that paired well with the firm noodles. Personally, I felt like it was the kind of ramen that lifts your spirits when you eat it on your way home after drinking (of course, it's delicious even if you're not drunk). Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

This is Osaka Men Tetsu. I visited after work in Umeda. The restaurant was empty when I arrived, but it quickly filled up with customers. I managed to get a seat by the cooler, which was nice. I ordered the summer limited edition special, the "Yama" - a cold mixed soba with grated yam. The dish featured the restaurant's homemade thin noodles, cooked al dente and mixed with a special soy sauce dressing, topped with plenty of grated yam and a raw egg yolk. It was delicious and refreshing, with a good texture from the noodles, yam, and egg yolk. The thinly sliced chashu pork was tender and flavorful, and the negi added a nice crunch. After finishing the noodles, I ordered the "wari gohan" - rice mixed with the leftover sauce, yam, and egg yolk. It was also delicious, especially with the chashu and chicken added in. Overall, it was a satisfying and tasty meal at Men Tetsu, known for their cold dishes. Next, I will try their cold ganseki tofu.

At Ton-Umeda, the nearest station is Men-Tetsu. It's my first visit. I had the soy sauce ramen for 850 yen. It looks like a light and clear broth, but it's not overly sweet and has a strong soy sauce flavor, making it a light soy sauce ramen. The noodles have a unique texture that complements the soy sauce soup well.

Arrived at 19:30, purchased meal ticket and entered immediately. Despite the rain, there were only about 4 people seated, and it did not become full afterwards. Ordered soy sauce ramen for ¥1,100. I kept debating whether to get an extra serving of noodles, but ultimately decided against it. Still wondering if I should have pushed myself to do it.

The popular Men-Tetsu group in Osaka, where many affiliated and independent shops run by former owners are located. After a long time, I stopped by "Osaka Men-Tetsu" on my way back from a meeting. In the past, the shop gained popularity for its "Yama" ramen topped with plenty of yamaimo and egg yolk. It has been quite a while since then, as I don't even have any photos from that time, but when it comes to Men-Tetsu, it's all about soy sauce ramen. Additionally, the meat soy sauce ramen with two different types of chashu on top, as well as the combination of wonton and meat, are also popular. I usually opt for the wonton, but this time I had the meaty meat soy sauce ramen. The soup had a rich umami flavor, and the ramen from Men-Tetsu has a high meat ratio. The noodles are slightly thick and straight, with a smooth texture that pairs well with the soup, making it a favorite taste. Since I hadn't eaten lunch, I was quite hungry, so I also ordered the clam rice. After finishing the noodles, adding soup to make it like a porridge is also recommended as a satisfying way to end the meal. The wontons from Men-Tetsu have chunky pieces of meat, and when you have them with the meat soy sauce ramen, it enhances the meaty flavor, making it a ramen with a satisfying eating experience.

I entered this ramen shop in Osaka because I could smell the soup from outside. I ordered the meat soy sauce ramen, but the meat pieces were too big and made me feel full quickly. I regretted ordering the meat soy sauce ramen a little bit.

The soy sauce ramen was surprisingly light and easy to eat, even for girls. Many customers finished all the soup. The menu suggested ordering extra noodles when you're halfway done, so I'll try that next time!

Friday around 7pm. The restaurant is about 80% full. Located in a bustling area, so don't expect good service. Ordered the Yama Ramen for 1300 yen. It took about 15 minutes for the ramen to be served. The noodles are thin and square-shaped. They are firm and have a good chew, but the texture is not smooth. The yam creates a thick texture that slurps well. It tastes good, but I would like to try it warm. The broth is slightly sweet soy sauce, reminiscent of soy sauce for tuna sashimi. The leftover sauce doesn't go well with the rice at the end. The toppings include tuna, bacon, and green onions. The tuna pieces are decently sized and marinated in soy sauce, adding sweetness and aroma. The yam serves as a mediator, assisting the bacon, green onions, and noodles to come together. The quality of the ingredients is average, but it is satisfying. The flavor in the mouth is present, but the lack of warmth and meat in the dish means the aroma doesn't stand out. It feels more like tuna sashimi on noodles than ramen. It's a noodle dish with a twist, and the true potential of the ramen shop is yet to be measured.

Mountain ¥1,300 Beer ¥600 I enjoyed it again this year. Thank you for the meal. #Osaka Men-Tetsu #Kansai Gourmet #Osaka Gourmet #Higashi Umeda Gourmet #Kansai Ramen #Osaka Ramen #Higashi Umeda Ramen #Ramen #Want to connect with ramen lovers.

I wandered around Umeda alone and found a ramen shop. Even though I'm not a big fan of chashu, I ordered the meat soy sauce ramen!! A bowl of ramen with thickly sliced chashu and thinly sliced chashu was promptly served! It looked amazing! I tasted the soup and thought it was a bit salty, but the noodles were smooth and delicious! The thinly sliced chashu was also fantastic! It completely matched my taste... However, the thickly sliced chashu was half fat and half meat, which didn't quite suit me as I'm not a fan of fatty meat! Thank you for the meal.

This is Osaka Men-Tetsu. It's around 6pm after work, and there are already a few customers enjoying their meals. I bought a meal ticket this time and handed it over with the secret word. Can I get a large portion? Today's menu is the large portion. The price varies depending on the number of noodles, and this time I got 2 servings. It seems like a lot, but the homemade thin noodles with a good wheat flavor are delicious. On top, there are Kujyo green onions and sliced pork steak with cuts. Dipping the noodles in the sauce makes it even more delicious. I added green onions and yuzu pepper to the sauce, which enhances the flavor. The texture of the green onions goes well with the noodles. The grilled pork steak has a simple seasoning and is easy to eat with the cuts. Dipping it in the sauce makes it even more delicious. Lastly, I added a clear broth made from chicken, bonito flakes, mackerel flakes, and kelp to make a soup split. It was just the right thickness. A delicious meal with cold noodles and cold sauce.

I visited this restaurant during my trip to Osaka and ordered the salt ramen. It was a bit disappointing as I had high expectations since it is a well-known shop. The salt ramen was just average, nothing special. The rule for ordering extra noodles was unique - you had to order within 3 minutes of being served. I should have just ordered soy sauce ramen instead. The meatballs were quite delicious though.

I visited around 2:00 PM on Saturday and was able to get in almost immediately. The "Yama" ramen I wanted was sold out, so I ordered the Shoyu Wonton ramen for ¥1100. The light soup had a subtle bonito flavor. It made me realize that I've been too accustomed to rich flavors lately. The large amount of leeks and a small amount of filling in the wontons were a nice touch and delicious. If you're looking for a light and gentle ramen, I recommend it! Thank you for the meal!!!

I visited this restaurant for lunch today and decided to try their soy sauce ramen. In conclusion, it was the best soy sauce ramen I have ever had. It had a surprisingly rich flavor, and even after getting an extra serving of noodles, the soup still had a new and delicious taste to it. The clam rice was also fantastic with a flavorful broth. It was so good that I didn't even need the pickles (it was even better when I poured some soup over it).

I have been curious about this limited edition dish for a while and finally had the chance to visit. I quickly purchased a 1300 yen ticket from the ticket machine. I arrived right at 12 o'clock, but luckily didn't have to wait in line and was seated right away. The dish arrived in about 10 minutes! Just as I expected, it was impressive and I took a photo. I lightly mixed the egg and enjoyed it. Summer is all about yam, and it didn't disappoint. The soup with plenty of yam was delicious. And the noodles, they were firm and had the best texture and mouthfeel! The noodles mixed well with the soup. I was planning to order rice, but after eating the noodles, I was already full. Thank you for the meal.

Here we are, after finishing at Koshien, I arrived at my third bowl of ramen. It was quite close if you walk through the underground passage from Osaka Station or Umeda Station. Luckily, there was a seat available, so I purchased the Niku Shoyu Wantan for 1450 yen from the ticket machine. I sat at the counter and waited for a while. There was some information about extra noodle servings written, but I decided not to get one this time. Finally, it arrived. First, the noodles. They were medium-thin straight noodles with a translucent, bouncy texture. They had a good chewiness and quantity was generous even without the extra serving. The soup also coated the noodles well. After eating at three places, I noticed that in Tokyo, the noodles tend to have a stronger wheat flavor, a more powdery and firm texture, with a rough mouthfeel being predominant. But here, the noodles are more bouncy, chewy, and have a smooth mouthfeel. Next, the soup. It was a light soy sauce base, yet it had an oily richness and a solid umami flavor. It's like a refined, upgraded version of the traditional light soy sauce ramen, with a wildness that appeals to ramen lovers. I really like this kind of soup. As for the toppings, there was a thin sheet of seaweed, which pairs well with this soup. The crunchy green onions added a nice contrast. The wantan was a good size with a well-balanced seasoning that complemented the soup. The meat included both thick, lean cuts with a good bite, and thin, fatty cuts that still had a meaty texture, providing a satisfying eating experience. In conclusion, this bowl combines the nostalgic taste of old-school ramen with the modern appeal of ramen lovers. It's a must-try if you're walking from Umeda. Ramen is truly delicious.
