Sumiyoshi

Ever since I went to Koyoken, I'd been curious to try neighboring old-school Takaida-kei shop Sumiyoshi. My brother was still around, so together we made the trek east to Fuse. Sumiyoshi was very small, and reminded me of Ganso Nagahamaya in Fukuoka in that, unlike some new posh ramen shops, Sumiyoshi feels like it's filled with people from around the area just looking for a good bowl of cheap noodles.

光洋軒に行ってからその近くにある住吉という高井田系の店に行ってみたいなと思っていました。兄がまだいたので一緒に布施まで歩いて行きました。住吉は狭くて、福岡にある元祖長浜屋みたいに新しいオシャレな店じゃなくてクラシック的においしくて安いラーメンを食べたい客様が入っていました。

Information

Ōsaka-fu, Ōsaka-shi, Higashinari-ku, Fukaeminami, ３丁目２０−８

The Bowl
Like other Takaida-style bowls I had before, the broth was a light, but sharp and salty shoyu. The noodles were very thick and very firm. They tasted good along with the saltiness of the soup. The chashu was alright and the menma was very flavorful.

高井田系ラーメンらしくスープが塩辛くて飲みやすいしょうゆでした。麺が太くてスープの味と一緒においしくなりました。チャーシューはよくて、メンマが厚かったです。

Would I Go Again?
Maybe, it was fun to bring my brother there.

兄と一緒に行くのが面白かったのでまた行こうかな。

Should You Go?
Takaida-kei is worth trying, and this is as good a shop as any if you make it out to Fuse.

高井田系ラーメンが食べる価値があるので、もし布施にいたら行ったらいいかもしれません。
