Miso ramen Mitsukabouzu
Red miso ramen: 17 / 20
(赤味噌らーめん)
In the isolated suburbs of Hotarugaike, not too far from Itami airport, you willl find one of the most highly-rated miso ramen of Kansai (actually, it is currently the most highly ranked miso ramen of Osaka on ramendb). Mitsukabozu (or Mitsukabose, as they rather seems to like to be called) looks more like a restaurant than like a local ramen joint, with many tables, as well as two counters, and a simple but pleasant atmosphere. They specialize in both a red miso and a white miso ramen. I had the red miso ramen.
Broth: A rich, heavy (but not so heavy compared to other miso ramen) and tasty broth. As often with miso, there is an after-taste that some people may find unpleasant, but it was bearable for me (compared to the slightly overwhelming taste of e.g. the famous Kururi in Tokyo).
Noodles: Slightly curvy, middle-sized.
Meat: A couple of slices of a very firm chashu - a bit salty, but good. A couple of not-so-remarkable meatballs also.
Topping: Some thick, crunchy menma, with a surprising peppery taste - quite good.
This is definitely a high-quality miso ramen. My friend ordered the seasonal "special kansai daitayama" (I think, not sure about the name anymore), supposedly "healthier". It was even better than my bowl, with a slightly more fishy broth flavored with coriander, very umami. The taste was more complex and lasted longer, and the noodles thinner. Next time, I will try this one if it is still on the menu.
