Japanese Food - Osaka Dotonbori

¥100 = RM3.80

Osaka:
Dotonbori





PH came back from Japan and told me that he bought a few packets of expensive instant noodle. I wondered what was so special about it. Then, he strongly recommended Ichiran Ramen to me and told me that he bought the expensive ramen from an Ichiran restaurant. The restaurants were opened 24/7.

There were two Ichiran Ramen restaurants at Dotonbori. I went to both, on different days





Ichiran in an alley. I went to this restaurant first
Ordering ramen with the vending machine
Seating area inside the restaurant
Selecting your how you wanted your ramen prepared


Additional Chashu for ¥250
This was heaven. Thick broth full of flavour. Slightly savory with natural sweetness. I would rate it a perfect dish of 10/10. ¥890 + additional Chashu ¥250

Packaged Ichiran ramen is sold at the restaurant entrance. It was more expensive than those sold at Don Quijote, due to the sales tax (¥1,852 x 100.08% = ¥2,000)

Ichiran restaurant by Dotonbori River


Yoshinoya is one of the top gyudon (beef bowl) chain restaurants



Gyudon. Tender and sweet, very similar to Taiwanese Lu Rou Fan. 9/10. ¥480

A Yakisoba restaurant by Dotonbori River


That's not liquor
Seafood and soy sauce Yakisoba. It looked delicious but was just average. The noodle was much firmer than our Mee Goreng. Savoury. ¥1,058. 7/10
