Honoru

Halal food has gotten bigger here, so Osaka was bound to see its first, as far as I know, halal ramen shop. Honoru is from Tokyo, but I visited the Namba shop for a bowl of their spicy chicken ramen.

ハラル料理はだんだん出てきて、大阪でハラルラーメン屋さんができました。帆のるはそもそも東京から来て、私は難波店に行って、「旨辛麺」を食べてきました。

The Bowl
A thick chicken potage, covered in smokey ra-yu chili oil. There were chili peppers hiding inside, along with some chewy chicken chashu. The noodles were thin, bouncy, and yellow, and bit by bit brought up some of the smokey spice with them.

燻製風味ラー油が乗っているドロっとしているチキンポタージュ。唐辛子はスープの中でもちっとした鶏チャーシューと隠れていました。腰がある黄色麺はちょっとずつ燻製の味を引きました。

Would I Go Again?

Jinjo Menya Gyukotsuo

It's not every day I get to visit a beef ramen shop. Jinjo Menya Gyukotsuo happened to open up in Nagahoribashi, though, so I stopped by to try the beef bone paitan ramen.

牛骨ラーメンは割とレアなものです。人情麵家 牛骨王が長堀橋でできたので、牛骨白湯ラーメンを頼みました。

The Bowl
It was advertised that there was no pork or chicken in this bowl, only beef, and it tasted it. It was strong and syrupy, tasting not unlike beef tendon, topped off with some crushed pepper. The noodles were bunched up, thin and firm, like giving beef bone ramen the Hakata treatment. Speaking of beef tendon, there were little niblets of beef innards in the soup, chewy and gelatinous.

スープにある動物系は牛肉だけと書いてあって、味で分かったかもしれません。スープが濃くて、とろみがあって、牛筋的な味がしました。その上にすっきりとした胡椒が乗っていました。麺は博多麺みたいに細くて、硬めでした。スープに入っている肉は何か歯ごたえがある柔らかい牛肉でした。

Would I Go Again?
Yes, I'm curious about their other beef concoctions.

ほかにどんな牛骨ラーメンがあるか気になるので、また行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
Anyone feeling beef or avoiding pork should stop by.

牛肉の気分の方にどうぞ。

Tori Soba 145

A new shop had just opened on Dotonbori, which is almost too easy to visit. I'm always happy when I can visit a shop on its first day, as I was able to with chicken ramen shop Tori Soba 145, the last part pronounced "hiyoko". I went with the standard tori paitan soba, though I was tempted by the shio and miso versions.

新しい店が道頓堀でできたので、すごく行きやすかったです。今回に開店日に行けたので嬉しかったです。鶏そば１４５という店の専門は鶏白湯なのでそれにしましたけど、塩と味噌ラーメンも気になりました。

The Bowl
As soon as the bowl arrived, I could smell its strong aroma: oil and chicken fat reminiscent of the first whiff of entering a yakitori shop. The soup's flavors backed up this scent; milky if a bit thin and full of fat and flavor. The noodles were round and a bit thin, but the smoothness of the broth if not the full flavor was carried over. Sure enough the meat in the bowl was not pork but grilled chicken, completing the yakitori-style experience, and keeping it available to customers who can't eat pork.

ラーメンが提供してもらった時点に焼き鳥屋さんに入る瞬間の鶏の油の香りがしました。スープの一味で確認できました。滑らかで薄めで、油濃かったです。丸い麺はちょっと細かったですけど、スープの滑らかさが味できました。乗っている肉は豚じゃなくて焼いた鶏なので焼き鶏感がすごくて、豚が食べられない人でもこのラーメンが食べられます。

Would I Go Again?
I'm not in a rush to, but maybe one day if I don't feel like traveling or trying somewhere new.

もう一回めっちゃ行きたい！まで思っていませんけど、便利なのでまた行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
If you're looking for a simple and solid chicken bowl in Dotonbori, Tori Soba 145 merits a visit.

道頓堀でシンプルな鶏そばが好きそうな人におすすめします。
