The Best Ramen in Osaka! A Bowl of Ultimate Flavor That Calms the Soul - Hifumi Ramen

Hidden in a quiet alley of Kitashinchi, "Hifumi Chuka Soba" has such a low-key signboard that you might almost miss it. But one bite and you'll be hooked! This is hands down the most impressive ramen I've had in Osaka—every bite is solid yet gentle, leaving you wanting to come back for more! I ordered the classic Hifumi Chuka Soba, and its refreshing soy sauce-based broth instantly captivated my taste buds! The broth is slow-cooked using natural ingredients like domestic dried fish and kombu, completely MSG-free. It tastes clear and sweet with a subtle seafood aroma. The soy sauce, aged in wooden barrels from Hyogo Prefecture, is not overly salty but has a delightful aftertaste, making it impossible to resist drinking it all! The homemade low-hydration thin noodles are the soul of the dish. Made from Hokkaido wheat flour, the noodles are springy and perfectly absorb the broth. The low-temperature cooked pork shoulder chashu is tender and juicy, while the soft-boiled egg is simply divine! Its rich, runny yolk bursts out with a single poke, releasing an irresistible aroma. Getting there is super convenient! The nearest Kitashinchi Station is just a turn away after exiting. It's a 10-minute walk from Yodoyabashi Station, offering a quiet and pleasant stroll. Heading back towards Higashi-Umeda Station is also on the way. Without flashy decor or gimmicks, this bowl of ramen wins hearts with its solid flavors! Soy sauce broth lovers, this is a must-try—you'll regret missing it! 📍〒530-0002 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, Kita Ward, Sonezaki Shinchi 1-6-28
