Originally, I think listening to the voices of nature is the essence of art. It is important to regain the sensitivity to the messages from nature that we often forget in modern society. I feel that this will become the role of art in the future after the earthquake. Musician Ryuichi Sakamoto Exploring ramen shops in Osaka Minami. This time, I visited "Seimenya" for the third time since they relocated. I was able to enter the shop quickly, which was nice. - Chicken and pork ramen [medium noodles] = 900 yen Last time, I think I had the "Chicken Motsu Tsuke Men," so I bought the ticket for "Chicken and pork ramen." Oh, it was actually the "Chicken and spicy pork ramen." I should have chosen the "Black Chinese noodles" instead, but it's too late now. Well, it can't be helped. According to the official information, it is a dish with "W soup made from chicken broth, whole chicken clear soup, and pork bone soup cooked with knuckles and backbones! The soup looks rich, but it has a moderate lightness." A hot bowl. I slowly slurped the soup from the bowl. The soup had a good balance. The noodles had a moderate chewiness. The char siu was moist and had a good elasticity. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal. The second shop closed, and I felt lonely, but the main shop maintained its quality as always. The path we take should be diligent, and we should finish without regrets.

Foodlog Overall Rating 3.62 Visit Date: Sunday, September 24, 2023, 17:40 Ordered: - Chicken motsu tsukemen large 400g for 1,100 yen - Okami zosui (chef's rice soup) for 250 yen - Black ramen for 900 yen Located facing Otaku Road in Nihonbashi, the restaurant was not crowded when I arrived a bit early, but it quickly filled up with customers. The chicken motsu tsukemen had medium-thick straight noodles with a soy-based soup that was distinctively flavorful with no sourness, instead having a rich umami taste like a traditional Japanese broth. The chef's rice soup that followed was also incredibly delicious. The black ramen had medium-thick straight noodles cooked slightly firm, which I liked. The soup, while not particularly memorable, was tasty. The service was attentive and friendly, making it a pleasant dining experience.

Today, I was planning to have ramen at the restaurant but ended up pressing the button for chicken motsu tsukemen. I decided to just have tsukemen today and sat down at my table, but ended up ordering an extra bowl of the female owner's zosui. I hope to try ramen someday. Thank you for the meal! 🍜🎶

This time, I visited a clean noodle shop at the southern end of Pombashio Road. They had announced the return of their "Cold Sudachi Soba," so I went to try it right away. It had been a year since they last offered it, and I was looking forward to it since it was delicious last time. When the dish arrived, the Sudachi Soba looked beautifully presented. It looked so delicious. I took a bite and found out that they had adjusted the amount of vinegar from last year, but it was still delicious. The combination of the tasty broth, the sourness, and the aroma of the sudachi was irresistible. I finished the noodles and then dove into the remaining broth with some grated yam rice as a finishing touch. The way they finish with the grated yam rice is just amazing. It was so delicious. I finished it quickly and lightly. Thank you for the meal.

This time, I visited a noodle shop located at the southern end of Pombashio Ta Road. The owner was having a special event on that day. There was a mysterious post the night before, so I had a feeling something was going on, and I was right, so I decided to visit. The special dish this time was Creamy Chicken Paitan Tsukemen. It used to be Kombu-infused Chicken Paitan Tsukemen, but this time, they increased the richness of the chicken paitan dipping broth and created a creamy version. When the dish arrived, the bowl was filled with rich chicken paitan dipping broth. A lemon was served on the side to add a hint of acidity. With the first bite, I was impressed. The creamy, smooth, and flavorful dipping broth coated the noodles perfectly, and it was truly amazing. Despite its richness, it had a refreshing aftertaste. I finished the noodles quickly and was completely satisfied. This special dish is only available for one day, so please check the restaurant's X (formerly Twitter) for more information. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I usually always order the chicken motsu tsukemen, but on this day, I decided to try the limited edition rich kombu water chicken paitan tsukemen. The taste was really delicious. However, I had never tried kombu water before and I didn't really like the slimy texture. But overall, the flavor was really good. Thank you for the meal!

I went to try their limited summer special "cold dipping noodles with dried fish flavor" which is coming to an end this season.

This time, I visited a noodle shop located at the southern end of Ponbashi Ota Road. The annual collaboration with Menya Joroku has started again this year, so I decided to check it out. The special dish for this collaboration is the Chashu Chuka Soba. It combines Menya Joroku's noodles with a soup based on the black Chuka from the noodle shop. The addition of pork back fat enhances the richness of the dish. The combination is simply delicious. I also ordered the Stamina Sausage Don, which paired well with the black soup. I enjoyed it crispy and finished it off smoothly. It was truly an exceptional dish. This special dish is available until August 16th, so make sure to try it before it's gone. Thank you for the meal!

This time, I went to a noodle shop at the southern end of Ponbashi Otarodo. They recently started serving a summer staple, "cold dipping noodles with dried fish flavor."

Near Nihonbashi Otaku Road, there is a ramen shop that offers chicken and giblets dipping noodles. Although unfamiliar with the term, it seemed to be their specialty so I ordered without hesitation. The ticket machine did not accept high denomination bills, so I asked the staff to break it for me and purchased a ticket for the chicken and giblets dipping noodles with an additional topping of egg. I also decided to try the "Okami Zosui" which is a dipping noodle order exclusive. I opted for the 300g noodle portion as it was the same price as the 200g. After being seated at the counter, I waited for about 10 minutes. The noodles arrived. The dipping sauce appeared to be a clear soy-based broth. The noodles were medium-thick and straight. I dug in. The dipping sauce contained chunks of chicken, spreading its flavor throughout. The char siu was rare and full of meaty goodness. The noodles were smooth and plentiful. However, the egg topping was honestly not very tasty. It lacked flavor and was undercooked. After finishing the noodles, I called the staff to try the Okami Zosui. The soup was temporarily removed and after a short wait, a visually appealing zosui arrived. The combination of chicken and giblets broth with rice and egg was delicious. However, I believe it is more suitable for consumption in cold winter rather than hot summer. Thank you for the meal.

I visited right when they opened on a regular day. Only the first 2 customers were allowed in. The chicken motsu tsukemen is priced the same for both 200g and 300g. The noodles are really delicious. I personally wanted to give it a 4.0 rating, but I couldn't enjoy the full experience of the tsukemen soup splitting, so I gave it a 3.5.

This time, I visited a noodle shop at the southern end of Pombashio Ta Road. They recently started serving a summer limited edition dish called "Cold Tsukemen with Dried Bonito Flavor". I had tried the limited edition "Ayahikari" version the other day, so this time I wanted to try the default version. I ordered toppings of "egg yolk and grated yam". The noodles looked beautiful and delicious. The thin noodles paired well with the light and slightly sour dipping broth. It was really delicious. The grated yam and egg yolk added a nice touch. I enjoyed it and finished it quickly. This dish is a perfect treat for the hot summer days. Thank you for the meal.
