Togyushi

One lazy Sunday evening I wanted to try a new bowl, but was tired of heading in the direction of Umeda. Some looking on ramendb led me to Togyushi, a beef bone bowl by Shitennoji. Not knowing much about it I went in, and was offered my choice between a clear shoyu and a shio paitan. I ordered the paitan.

のんびりしている日曜日の夜に新しいラーメン屋さんに行ってみたくて梅田の方まで行きたくなかったです。いろいろ検索して牛骨専門店「闘牛志」が出てきました。あまり知らなくて入りました。透明な醤油と塩白湯があって塩にしました。

The Bowl
A swirl of milky shio ramen with a base of beef. The salty broth was a bit too oily, and didn't stand above the better use of beef in the bowl, the beef tendon topping. The tendon was sweet and tender, a succulent contrast to the soup. The ramen was served with bean sprouts and chives on the side; they made the ramen taste more generic, but I suppose I appreciate the option.

牛骨のベースでクリーミーな塩白湯でした。スープが油っぽくて塩っぱかったですけど、柔らかい牛肉トッピングがめっちゃうまかったです。もやしとニラも追加できましたけど、入れようとしたら特徴がちょっと抑えられたのでないほうがうまかったでs。

Would I Go Again?
The ramen was edible, but certainly not worth a return visit.

まあまあおいしかったですけどまた行くと思いません。

Should You Go?
Non-pork eaters might have something to visit here, but otherwise you can skip it.

牛肉が好き人ならいいんですけど、それじゃなければ行かなくていいです。

Tsukemen Suzume

It was a Sunday night and I was hungry for some tsukemen. I've hit most of the places close to where I live, so I looked south to a branch of a shop that I visited before and had high praise for. Tsukemen Suzume has delivered high quality tsukemen before, and two and a half years ago I settled for the standard tsukemen, but this time I made sure to get the spicy one. Their spice scale goes from 1x to 15x, and though the waitress recommended 5x, I had to be stupid and go for 10x.

日曜日のやるでつけ麺を食べたかったです。家の近くにある店にほとんど行ったことありますから天王寺のほうにある好きな店の支店に行きました。二年間前食べたのは普通のつけ麺なので今回絶対辛いつけ麺にしようと決めました。店員さんに5辛にお勧めしてもらったので10辛にしました。

The Bowl
A thick, spicy gyokai tonkotsu like I expected. It was spicy, but not super spicy; maybe I should have gone with the 15x spiciness. The noodles were super thick, and there were spicy pieces of chashu littered in the hot soup. After filling myself on noodles and pork, I poured the yuzu-based wari-soup in for one final, citrus kick.

期待していた通りとろみがある辛い魚介豚骨でした。辛かったですけど激辛じゃなかったので15辛にしたほうがよかったかな。麺がめっちゃ太くてスープに入っているチャーシューも辛かったです。麺と豚肉を食べてから、最後に柚割りスープが楽しめました。

Would I Go Again?
I have before and I will again.

また行きます。

Should You Go?
Yes.

はい。
