Soy sauce ramen｜Kinguemon honten

I have enjoyed the very popular menu item “Osaka black” (Soy sauce ramen) at “Kinguemon honten” in Higashinari-ku, Osaka City. As the name suggests, this ramen features a thick soy sauce broth, and is recommended for first-time visitors.

Thick soup with a distinctive soy sauce flavor

The most distinctive feature of “Osaka black” (Soy sauce ramen) is its rich soy sauce broth, which fills the mouth with a strong, dark flavor of soy sauce. The soup has a perfect balance of sweetness and richness of soy sauce, and is not too salty, so you will not feel thirsty after eating. Just one sip is sure to draw you in with its deep flavor.

Flat noodles and excellent toppings

“Osaka black” (Soy sauce ramen) noodles are slightly thicker, straight, flat noodles. These noodles are well mixed with the soup and have a firm texture and a smooth feel. Toppings include tender char siu pork, crispy bamboo shoots, and green onions. The menma (seasoned bamboo shoots), in particular, is straight and has a characteristic shape, providing a pleasing texture. Overall, the well-balanced toppings, combined with the rich broth, create a satisfying ramen experience.

Even better with garlic topping!

At “Kinguemon honten”‘s main restaurant, you can add garlic toppings for free. By adding garlic, the strength of the soy sauce is softened and a different flavor can be enjoyed. This topping is a must-try for first-timers as well as repeat customers.
