Okuya (Osaka-fu, Toyonaka-shi)

Ramen Okuya

Tonkotsu ramen: 13 / 20
(とんこつラーメン)

This restaurant next to Ishibashi station opened maybe six months ago but I still hadn’t the occasion to taste it. I was soon leaving the area so I finally gave it a try.


Broth: A relatively light tonkotsu sprinkled with sesame seeds.

Noodles: Barikata, as ordered.

Meat: The strong asset of this otherwise average bowl: a couple of small, deliciously fatty melting chashu.

Toppings: You can help yourself on a buffet at the back of the restaurant with ginger, moyashi (bean sprouts) and other usual tonkotsu-toppings.

Nothing exceptional, and Ittoryuu nearby may be better (though it is a niboshi shoyu, so it depends on your taste), but you could easily find worse than this place in the area - which, I'm afraid, offers no wonders.
