Watanabe Seimen

For a random part of Osaka, Uehonmachi has quite a few interesting ramen shops. Located between Osaka'a Koreatown Tsuruhashi and electronics district Nipponbashi, Uehonmachi is most notable for its rundown mall Hihi Town. Just a few blocks away, though, is a tsukemen shop, Watanabe Seimen.

Watanabe Seimen offered four different kinds of soup and two different kinds of noodles. There was the original gyokai tonkotsu, plus a veggie potage, a spicy minced meat, and a curry one. Yes, I wanted all of them. But, for my first time, I had to go with the standard. For noodles, there were simply thick and medium-thick, so I went with the thick ones.

上本町には面白い物はそんなにありませんけど、ラーメン屋さんが最近何軒か出来ています。上本町はハイハイタウンで有名ですけど、ちょっと離れている渡辺製麺というつけ麺専門手があります。

渡辺製麺が四つの種類のスープを提供しています。豚骨魚介・ベジポタ・辛肉ミンチ・カレー味ありました。全て食べてみたかったです。でも、初めてなのでオリジナルの豚骨魚介に注文しました。あと太麺か中太麺から太麺にしました。

With four kinds of soup, I'm tempted to come back to try them all.
スープ四つ種類があるので全て食べてみたいです。

The Bowl
A good gyokai tonkotsu indeed. The broth had a bit of a light flavor, but it was thick enough to stick to the extra thick, chewy noodles. The lightness of the soup was made up for by the yuzushio on the side. It balanced the bowl out a bit, giving the noodles and broth a bit more substance. The chashu was very fatty, and the bowl was finished off by a refreshing and slightly spicy wari-soup containing shichimi.

うまい豚骨魚介でした。スープはとろみがありましたけど、他の豚骨魚介に比べると、ちょっと薄めでした。太麺にあって、柚塩をかけると両方もっとおいしくなってきました。チャーシューもよくて、最後のさっぱりでピリ辛の七味が入っている割りスープが最高でした。

Would I Go Again?
Yes, I still have three soups to try.

まだ三つ種類あるのでまた行きたいです。

Should You Go?
Yeah, it's the best tsukemen shop in the area.

その辺で一番いいつけ麺なので行ったらいいです。
