河童ラーメン本舗箕面店

Kappa Ramen Honba
Black tonkotsu ramen: 11 / 20
(黒河童)
After Kieiken, another ramen shop located on the road 171 which passes north of Osaka University's Suita campus. This one draws its name from kappa, a Japanese mythological creature. Is their ramen a myth too? Unfortunately, no. I had their black ramen, with 'losu' meat (you can chose between 'losu' and 'bara').
Both: Assari tonkotsu-shoyu with some black, garlic liquid. That’s usually a winning combination for me (that’s the kind of broth that made me fall in love with ramen four years earlier at Ippudo!), but here, the black sauce was too fat. Not unpleasant, but nothing exceptional, really. Also, as many tonkotsu-shoyu broth, this was too salty.
Noodles: Barikata, as I ordered.
Meat: The losu was really nothing special. The bara my colleagues were eating did not look much better.
Toppings: The menma were a bit hard, with a very subdued version of the classical taste of menma. Not very enjoyable.
I would recommend to stick with the classical version of the ramen, that you can order in light taste, or koi (concentrated) – I had a better impression of this ramen last time I went there. If you are in the area, Ippudo or even Kieiken would be a better choice.
