I visited "Sennichimae" for the first time on February 1st. I visited at 18:20 for dinner. I parked at a paid parking lot a little away because I had other errands to run. The entrance had the name "Sennichimae" in red. It is from Morizumi Seimen. When I think of Sennichimae, I think of Osaka, but is the owner from Osaka? Inside, there were 2 groups of customers, 4 people in total. In front was the kitchen, with counter seats on the right and table seats on the left. There were probably 2 staff members - the chef in the kitchen and maybe the wife on the floor. Since I was dining alone, I sat at the counter. The water was self-service. The menu had changed from green to yellow. The prices seemed unchanged, but there were more items on the menu. Perhaps they've introduced new menu items. I ordered the most popular item, the Char Siu Ramen for 750 yen. It's also written in kanji as "蝦仁湯麺," which I can't read. There were some new menu items listed, but also some items that seemed to be discontinued. The Crab Fried Rice for 850 yen and the General Tso's Chicken Fried Rice for 910 yen were disappointing to see. I had a revelation about Crab Fried Rice at a different restaurant, so it was disappointing. The dish was served on a black tray after about 17 minutes. If you have a time limit for lunch, you may need to be mindful of the time you visit. Personally, I'm not a fan of large-cut vegetables in ramen, but the vegetables in this ramen were small. The main ingredient was shrimp, which was quite large and had a nice crunchy texture when bitten into. There were quite a few shrimp in the toppings, even though they didn't stand out. The cabbage was cut small, which I liked. It also had carrots, wood ear mushrooms, seaweed, spinach, sliced leeks, and so on. The soup had a gentle salty flavor typical of ramen. It was quite hot, which was nice for the cold weather. The noodles were yellowish medium-thick straight noodles. They seemed to have a high water content and were quite delicious. I would like to try their set menu next time. Even while I was eating, there were 2 groups of customers who had reserved takeout, so they seemed quite busy. Thank you for the meal.
