Niboshi reimen: 17 / 20

Five minutes away from Amagasaki station, this ramen place got really good reviews, so I went there on my way from Osaka to Kobe. I was initially determined to try their beef suji tsukemen, but discovered that they had a seasonal offer of niboshi reimen - a quite welcome suggestion on this hot, summer day.



Broth: A truly wonderful, strong - but not too strong - niboshi broth.

Noodles: Thick tsukemen-style noodles, very mochi-mochi and tasty.

Meat: Three slices of cold chashu. Not bad, but why as many as three slices?

Toppings: Some raw onions; their crunchiness fit well with the cold broth, although the added taste was IMHO not necessary. Also, a couple of gombo slices which brought some more freshness.

This was probably the best reimen I ate so far, with truly wonderful broth and noodles. Too bad the meat was overabundant, they could definitely trade quantity with quality there.
