Assari shoyu ramen: 15 / 20
Conveniently located near the Hankyu Nishinomiya station, it is easy to reach this ramen shop on your way between Kobe and Osaka. It is less easy to enter in, though: I arrived at 13:40 on a hot summer’s Saturday, and had to wait half an hour to get a seat (fortunately, the queue was in the shadows). This restaurant features two shoyu ramen (assari or kotteri) and a tsukemen. I had the assari shoyu ramen, with ontama.
Broth: An intense and very fishy broth – possibly due to the use of niboshi, although the taste was also reminiscent of the fishy notes that you can find in a tonkotsu gyokai broth. Very pleasant.
Noodles: Some thin, yellow noodles, a bit too much on the soft side to my taste, but still good.
Meat: That was the weak point here: two large slices of average chashu. Why on earth put so much low-quality meat in a dish? I would definitely have preferred a smaller-but-better chashu (or no chashu at all).
Egg: Two halves of an OK egg, a bit overcooked.
Toppings: Some thin excellent seaweed, a really good idea. A few menma shot with a strong and salty taste.
This was a very contrasted ramen, with excellent broth and seaweed toppings (and very friendly service, I must say), but very average chashu and ontama (I don’t recommend to order the later). Was it worth the wait? I would say no, but that’s up to you.

(contrarily to what is said on ramendb, the shop is open till 4 pm)
