Tairyuken

Dotonbori is known for its myriad takoyaki shops, but often overlooked (at least by sober people) is its array of ramen shops. They are there mostly for drunk party-goers looking for some food before heading home. The lineup, including Osaka classics Shitenno, Kamukura, Kinryu, and Kinguemon doesn't change often, but every once in a while a new shop sprouts up. This time, Kanto shop Tairyuken has expanded to Osaka, right at Dotonbori. Tairyuken claims to be from Ebisu, a fashionable district in Tokyo, but the ramen they offer is Yokohama classic tonkotsu shoyu.

道頓堀はたこ焼きの屋台で有名ですけど、ラーメン屋さんもいっぱいあります。しめラーメンのイメージがします。大阪の有名な四天王、神座、金龍、金久右衛門全部あります。新しい店がたまにしか出ませんけど、最近、関東からの太龍軒ができました。恵比寿から来たと書いてありましたけど、横浜の家系ラーメンを売っていました。

The Bowl
Like any tonkotsu shoyu bowl, it was pretty heavy. There was a thin layer of oil topping off the bowl, and then underneath was a surprisingly creamy soup. The whole thing was a bit too salty; even the chashu that was otherwise pretty decent was overwhelmed by salt. Overall not a bad bowl, but for iekei in Osaka I'd still head over to Konshinya.

豚骨醤油らしくこってりでした。スープの上に油がたまりましたけど、スープが意外ととろりがありました。拉麺が塩辛かったです。チャーシューもおいしかったですけど、塩がちょっと多すぎました。結論的においしかったですけど、家系を食べたければ、たぶん魂心家に行くと思います

Would I Go Again?
Nah.

たぶん行きません。

Should You Go?
It's not the worst of the lot if you're buy Dotonbori, but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

道頓堀にいればいいかもしれません。
