Tsuboya

It was December, and I had just a few days left before I was going home to New York for the holidays. What should my last bowl of ramen be? I had passed by Umeda's Tsuboya a couple times, and I was intrigued by the winter-only miso ramen. I've been disappointed with Tsuboya's other branches, but I love miso, so I gave in to my instinct and gave it a try.

１２月でもうすぐニューヨークに帰るつもりでした。最後の一杯はどうしようかな？梅田にあるつぼやを何回か通って冬限定味噌らーめんが気になりました。他のつぼやの支店はまあまあでしたけど、味噌がほんまに好きで入ってみました。

The Bowl
Ah, miso ramen. It's so rare in Osaka that I'll take any chance I get to have some. Tsuboya's miso's broth was pretty oily, but it was tasty, and did not hold back on the spice. I wasn't crying, but there was definitely a peppery kick. The thick noodles wrapped around the mounds of bean sprouts in the bowl, and the chewy if low on flavor chashu.

ああ味噌らーめん。大阪に珍しくて食べる機会があれば絶対に頼んじゃいます。スープが油っぽかったですけど、うまくてピリ辛でした。麺が太くてもやしと炙りチャーシューと絡んでいました。

Would I Go Again?
Yeah, for another limited time ramen.

他の季節限定とかあればまた行くかもしれません。

Should You Go?
I would say if you go, get ramen instead of tsukemen.

行ったらつけ麺よりラーメンにしたらいいです。
