Shio ramen: 16 / 20
This place features a number of thick ramen, including a kotteri miso tsukemen, but I chose their ebi shio – I trust Ben to sample the miso one some day!
Broth: A good shrimp taste, quite intense – as often with shrimp ramen.
Noodles: Straight and thin, neither soft nor hard, a good match with the seafood notes.
Meat: Thick, soft, fat chashu, with a relativey subdued pork taste, not bad at all.
Egg: Salty and with a gooey yolk, inegally cooked but quite good. The white part has subtle flavors.
Toppings: Some thin menma with a strong classical taste, the classical balance between crunchiness and softness – some of them were quite juicy. Some green, round negi that were a good fit with the soup. A few small shrimps. Some yuzu zest – but its taste was kind of crushed by the strong flavor of the soup.
Overall, a very convincing ebi shio ramen, more balanced that the quite salty IKR51, and which would be interesting to compare with Ganko. A good place to stop on Osaka's loop line, at Teradacho station – note that there seems to be a couple of other quite good ramen places around.
